Electrochemical evaluation of the corrosion inhibition effect of essential oil extracts on mild steel in acidic environments
The corrosion inhibition property of the combined admixture of neem leaf and basil oil extracts (NB) on mild steel in in 1M H2SO4 and HCl solution was studied with weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization and optical microscopy analysis. Results shows NB performed effectively at all concentration studied in HCl solution with average inhibition efficiency above 94% and 91% (weight...
