Inhibition and adsorption potentials of mild steel corrosion using methanol extract of Gongronema latifoliuim
Abstract Gongronema latifolium was used as a low-cost green inhibitor for mild steel by applying the weight loss method at 303–323 K. There was a decrease in percentage inhibition with temperature increase and a rise in inhibition efficiency with an increase in the concentration of inhibitor. The ob...

| description | Abstract Gongronema latifolium was used as a low-cost green inhibitor for mild steel by applying the weight loss method at 303–323 K. There was a decrease in percentage inhibition with temperature increase and a rise in inhibition efficiency with an increase in the concentration of inhibitor. The obtained results showed that Gongronema latifolium extract of methanol had percentage inhibition efficiencies in the range of 59.06–81.69%. Corrosion inhibition of mild steel showed a good fit to the Langmuir model compared to the Freundlich and El-Awardy adsorption models. Thermodynamics parameters, such as $$ E_{\text{a}} $$ E a , $$ Q_{\text{ads}} $$ Q ads and $$ \Delta G_{\text{ads}} $$ Δ G ads were evaluated and showed that the mechanism of corrosion inhibition of mild steel by methanol extract of Gongronema latifolium was physisorption. The results of this work indicated efficient potentials of the methanol extract of Gongronema latifolium as a low-cost corrosion inhibitor in acidic media for mild steel, which could be applied to reduce corrosion of metals in industries. |
