The effect of C. siliqua pulp corrosion inhibition on carbon steel has been studied by gravimetric testing and electrochemical methods. In this study, two raw extracts were prepared from the pod pulp of C. siliqua: the first is methanolic and the second is aqueous. The UHPLC/DAD analysis indicated gallic acid's presence in the extracts (methanolic and aqueous) of C. siliqua as a major compound. The inhibition results achieved revealed that the aqueous extract with gallic acid had a good anticorrosion activity with an inhibition rate of 91.32% at 3 g/l for a temperature of 323 K. Potentiodynamic polarization was performed in 1 M HCl without and with different concentrations of C. siliqua extracts clearly proves that inhibitor extracts behave as mixed type. Adsorption of this inhibitor for different extracts studied on the surface of the carbon steel obeys Langmuir adsorption with negative values of ΔG • ads , suggesting a stable and spontaneous inhibition process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
