Anti–corrosive effect of Lantana camara fruit peel on mild steel in acid medium

A. Petchiammal, S. Selvaraj

Abstract :

The inhibition efficacy of Lantana camara fruit peel (LCFP) extract on the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0N Hydrochloric acid is carried out by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The inhibition efficiency is increased with increase of inhibitor concentration and achieved maximum inhibition efficiency of 85% for both polarization as well as impedance studies. The observed value shows that the corrosion current moderately decreased with increase of inhibitor concentration by polarisation studies. The parameters of electrochemical impedance studies also agreed and confirmed with the above results.
