Abstract

The corrosion inhibition characteristics of Chrysophyllum cainto cotyledon aqueous extract was studied for the corrosion of pipeline steel in 0.5 M HCl using gravimetric technique. The corrosion surface morphology and corrosion surface film were studied using Scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy respectively. The results obtained showed Chrysophyllum cainto aqueous extract as a good corrosion inhibitors of pipeline steel corrosion in acidic environment, recording an average corrosion inhibition efficiency above 90% at 303 K. The Scanning electron micrograph showed a smoother corrosion surface morphology in the presence of the extract while the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic data showed the corrosion inhibition mechanism to be through adsorption.
