    • Abstract

    Corrosion inhibition in the presence of Pavetta indica bark (PIB) extract in 1 M HCl and 1 M H2SO4 was studied using the weight loss technique at 303 to 353 K. The results obtained revealed that the inhibition efficiency increased with increase in temperature and showed maximum at 313 K. Inhibition occurred through adsorption of the molecules in PIB extract on the metal surface. The experimental data were best fit with Temkin isotherm model. The activation energies, enthalpies and entropies of the corrosion process and the free energies, enthalpies and entropies for the adsorption process were determined and discussed.
