Abstract

Using green corrosion inhibitors, which lower corrosion rates without endangering the environment, is one of the most important strategies for reducing corrosion. An extract from the leaf of the Mukia maderaspatana plant was used in this investigation as a green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in hydrochloric acid. The anti-corrosion properties of plant leaf extract were verified by a number of experimental procedures, such as weight loss analysis, electrochemical spectroscopy, gravimetric measurements, surface analysis using FTIR, and SEM, at various temperatures. A plant extract added at 1000 ppm significantly increases the inhibitory effectiveness up to a maximum of 95%. To confirm that the mild steel surface in an HCl solution had a protective layer, surface analysis was done. An investigate using a scanning electron microscope showed that the protective layer formed by the green inhibitor. According to the study, the extract from Mukia maderaspatana is a strong, environmentally friendly inhibitor that efficiently stops mild steel from corroding in extremely acidic situations.
