Eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor from Pennisetum purpureum biomass and synergistic intensifiers for mild steel

Extracts of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) blended with some intensifier halides like ammonium chlo-ride (AMC) and potassium iodide (PTI) were investigated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel. The corrosion pro-cess was monitored in 3.5%HCl by mass loss and electrochemical techniques at 30, 40, 50, 60 and 90 °C. Addition of AMC and PTI increased the inhibition efficiency with the highest inhibition efficiency obtained with PTI blend-ed extract. The blends behaved as mixed type inhibitors and were spontaneously adsorbed on mild steel surface in exothermic nature. Synergistic parameters of the intensifier ions revealed cooperative effect. Kinetic data treat-ment indicated increase in energy barrier by intensifier ions. The results demonstrate that elephant grass extract blended with halide ions can act as alternative ecofriendly inhibitor for mild steel at elevated temperatures.
