Resumen
SHARMA, Y. C. y SHARMA, S.. Corrosion Inhibition of Aluminum by Psidium Guajava Seeds in HCl Solution. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.6, pp.365-382. ISSN 0872-1904. https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201606365.
The corrosion inhibition and adsorption of ethanol extracts of Psidium guajava seeds (EEPgS), for aluminum in 0.5 N HCl solutions, were investigated using conventional weight loss, FTIR spectroscopy and SEM analysis techniques. The results showed that EEPgS performed well as inhibitor for the corrosion of aluminum in hydrochloric acid media. FTIR results showed that the inhibition mechanism was by adsorption process, through the functional groups present in the extract. Inhibition efficiency increased with increasing concentration of the plant extract, but decreased with the temperature rise. The weight loss data were fitted into a number of isotherms, though Langmuir model was found to be the best fit. The SEM photographs confirmed the protection offered by the extract on the surface of the metal.
