Abstract
The inhibitory action of Red onion seeds and peels extracts (ROSE & ROPE) was testing and comparing on the corrosion of steel in 0.75 M H3PO4 using chemical measurements (hydrogen evolution, HE and mass loss, ML) and SEM technique. The effect of temperature on the corrosion of steel in 0.75 M H3PO4 without and with certain concentration of each extract was studied in the temperature range of 303-333 K. Generally, the inhibition efficiency (i.e. surface coverage) increases with extracts concentration and fits the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The results of HE, ML and SEM showed that ROSE has a capability to protect steel surface in 0.75 M H3PO4 more than ROPE. Good agreement between HE and ML measurements was obtained. Temperature coefficients without and with each extract revealed somewhat chemisorptive and physiosorptive behavior of ROSE and ROPE, respectively. Good correlation between the major effective constituents of each extract and the inhibition mechanism was obtained.
