Evaluation of Corrosion Mitigation Behaviour of Bombax ceiba Leaves Extract.

ABSTRACT

In this research investigation, conventional weight loss method, electrochemical measurements of potentiodynamic polarization and AC impedance spectroscopy were applied to inspect the Bombax ceiba leaves extract mitigation efficiency in 1.0 M H2SO4 medium at different temperatures. Behaviour of adsorption, parameters of thermodynamical and kinetic were intended in this study. Adsorption behaviour revealed that the phyto-organic constituents existing in the mitigator adsorbed on the metal exterior. The spectral studies then topographical experiments confirm the creation of insoluble film on mild steel in destructive medium. The contact angle method predicts the wettability character of the mild steel in the occurrence of mitigator. This research work exhibited that Bombax ceiba leaves extract act as a best low-cost, bio-friendly mitigator on mild steel in destructive medium.
