Abstract
The corrosion inhibition property of Gymneme Sylvestre on aluminum in an acidic medium has been investigated. The experimental techniques include potentiodynamic polarization studies, electrochemical studies, quantum chemical calculation and weight loss method. The results revealed that Gymneme Sylvestre acts as a potential corrosion inhibitor of aluminum in an acidic medium, showing 82% inhibition efficiency at 800 ppm concentration of it. Furthermore, the different thermodynamic parameters, including activation energy, Gibbs free energy and enthalpy have been calculated. The results showed that adsorption of the Gymneme Sylvestre molecule onto the aluminum coupon surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The quantum chemical parameters were also calculated for major constituents of Gymneme Sylvestre.
期刊介绍:
Portugaliae Electrochimica Acta is a bi-monthly Journal published by the Portuguese Electrochemical Society since 1983. Portugaliae Electrochimica Acta publishes original papers, brief communications, reviews and letters concerned with every aspect of theory and practice of electrochemistry, as well as articles in which topics on history, science policy, education, etc. in the electrochemical field (teaching or research) may be discussed.
