Corrosion Inhibition of C38 Steel in 1 M HCl: A Comparative Study of Black Pepper Extract and Its Isolated Piperine
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Corrosion inhibition effect of black pepper (BP) extract and its piperine isolated from BP on corrosion of C38 steel in 1 M HCl solution was investigated by weight loss method. Piperine was isolated by ethanol in yield 6 from ground BP. Results obtained from weight loss measurements indicate that the natural compounds tested exhibit higher efficiency exceeding 95% at 2g/L. The presence of piperine decreases hugely the corrosion rate and its inhibition efficiency (E%) increases with concentration to attain 99 % at 10-3M. Piperine adsorbs on the steel surface according Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption enthalpy were determined and discussed. Effect of temperature was also investigated and activation parameters were evaluated
