Abstract

The dissolution of aluminum in 2 M HCl medium in the absence and presence of Tussilago Farfara Extract (TFE) was examined utilizing Tafel polarization (TP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM), gasometry and mass reduction techniques. The outcomes of these procedures illustrated that the inhibiting effect of this inhibitor depends on its concentration and chemical composition. The inhibitive impact of TFE illustrated the blocking of the Al surface by adsorption of its components through the reacted atoms contained in its molecules. The adsorption model was obeyed to Langmuir isotherm. The influence of temperature on the dissolution rate in the non-existence and existence of TFE was observed. Tafel polarization indicated that TFE acts as a mixed kind inhibitor. Impedance outcomes illustrated that the dissolution of Al is monitored by charge transfer mode at all concentrations of the extract. Varied surface examinations like XPS, FTIR, and AFM were checked to affirm the presence of the defensive film on the Al surface. All outcomes measured from all procedures are in perfect conformity.
