Abstract

The adsorption and inhibitive behavior of gums obtained from Mangifera indica tree was investigated at 303-333 K using weight loss and linear polarization measurements. The results obtained from both measurements showed that Mangifera indica gums inhibited the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl. Linear polarization measurements revealed Mangifera indica gums to inhibit both the anodic and cathodic reactions on the surface of the mild steel thereby functioning as a mixed-type inhibitor. Adsorption behavior of the gums were approximated by the isotherm models of Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin. The adsorption mechanism derived from the trend in inhibition efficiency as a function of temperature as well as kinetic and activation parameters signified Mangifera indica gums adsorbed on the surface of the mild steel through the mechanism of physisorption and that the adsorption process was exothermic and spontaneous.
