Abstract

The interfacial activities of Diospyros mespiliformis on annealed carbon steel in 2 M HCl solution was studied by electrochemical methods; polarization and impedance spectroscopy measurements, while weight loss of the carbon steel at varying temperatures and gasometric method was studied. The results of the study revealed that D. mespiliformis mitigates the corrosion of carbon steel (FE164531) in HCl solution through adsorption. Results from Tafel plots suggest that Diospyros mespiliformis (DM) behaves predominantly as a cathodic inhibitor with highest inhibition efficiency (91%) at 1000 ppm. The Nyquist and Bode plots of the test solutions were similar in both inhibited and free medium and contained capacitive and inductive loops. Thermodynamic parameters suggest that D. mespiliformis is adsorbed on carbon steel mainly by physical adsorption. The values of enthalpy and entropy of adsorption suggests that DM adsorption on FE164531 surface was spontaneous. A good correlation was obtained following the percentage inhibition efficiencies calculated from all the techniques employed.
