Green inhibitor of carbon steel corrosion in 1 M hydrochloric acid: Eruca sativa seed extract (experimental and theoretical studies)

Abstract

The adsorption activity and inhibition effect of Eruca sativa seed extract as a green inhibitor for the dissolution of carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution were investigated. In this study, we used a chemical technique (gravimetric method), electrochemical techniques, electrical frequency modulation (EFM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques, and theoretical studies. In addition to these techniques, we examined the surface morphology of the carbon steel utilizing different methods. The measurements of the polarization technique indicate that this extract acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated and discussed. The adsorption of Eruca sativa seed extracts on the alloy obeys the Langmuir and Henry adsorption isotherms. The extract gives an excellent inhibition efficiency 94.8% by a gravimetric method at 0.3 g L−1 from the extract. The relationship between the calculated % IE from experiments and the theoretical studies was established.
