Corrosion inhibition by leaves and stem extracts of Sida acuta for mild steel in 1 M H2SO4 solutions investigated by chemical and spectroscopic techniques

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M H2SO4 by leaves and stem extracts of Sida acuta was studied using chemical (weight loss and hydrogen evolution) and spectroscopic (AAS, FTIR and UV-V) techniques at 30–60 °C. It was found that the leaves and stem extracts of S. acuta inhibited the acid induc...
