Abstract
The corrosion inhibition of aluminium in HC1 in the presence of Carica papaya (CP) and Azadirachta indica (AI) at 30-40°C was studied using the weight loss, thermometric and hydrogen evolution techniques. The inhibition efficiency (%I) increased with increase in concentration of the extracts and with increase in temperature. CP is a better inhibitor at 30°C whereas AI is better at 40°C. CP and AI were found to obey Freundlich, Temkin and Flory -Huggins adsorption isotherms at all concentrations studied at 40°C. Phenomenon of chemical adsorption is proposed from the obtained Ea, ΔGads and Qads values calculated.
