Evaluating the Influence of Temperature on the Efficacy of Capparis Decidua Extract as a Corrosion Inhibitor for Aluminium in Acidic Media
Abstract: The study investigates the anti-corrosive properties of the ethanolic extract of Capparis decidua fruit on aluminum corrosion in a 2N HCl acid solution, using a weight loss technique at temperatures ranging from 303 to 343 K. At a concentration of 0.45%, the inhibition efficiency (η%) is notably high, reaching 63.15% at 303 K. The inhibitor's adsorption behavior on the aluminum surface is consistent with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, suggesting that …
