Abstract
The inhibition of copper corrosion in 0.1M HCl by Egyptian licorice extract was investigated by dc polarization, ac impedance techniques. A significant decrease in the corrosion rate of copper in 0.1M HCl was observed in the presence of licorice extract. The corrosion rate was found to depend on the concentration of licorice extract, temperature and extraction solvent composition. The adsorption of licorice extract on copper surface obeys Temkin isotherm. Polarization data indicated that the licorice extract acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. The values of activation energy for copper corrosion and various thermodynamic parameters were calculated and discussed.
