| dc.description.abstract | Corrsion inhibition of Aloe lateritia gel for Mild steel in 2 M HNO 3 and 1 M H 2 SO 4 solutions was in- vestigated by potentiodynamic polarization, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Foutier transform infrared (FT-IR). Inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of the concentration of the gel. The optimal concentration of the gel gives maximum inhibition efficiency of 77.4% and 70.3% in 1 M H 2 SO 4 and 2 M HNO 3 respectively. Polarization plots shows that, the gel works as a mixed type inhibitor altering both cathodic and anodic reaction. SEM proves the uniform and pit- ting corrosion at the surface of Mild steel in 1 M H 2 SO 4 and 2 M HNO 3 respectively. Using FT-IR po- tential function groups from pure gel and some stretch shift was observed from corrosion product and some stretch shift from corrosion products was observed | en_US |
