Abstract

The inhibitive action of the acid extracts of seeds' leaves and bark from the Ficus virens plant towards hydrochloric and sulfuric acid corrosion of aluminium is tested using mass loss and thermometric techniques. It was found that the extract acts as a good corrosion inhibitor for aluminium corrosion in all concentration of hydrochloric and sulfuric acid solution. The ellagic acid has been used as a representative of the tannin species. The tannins are anodic inhibitors. The inhibition efficiency (IE) increases as the extract concentration is increased. The effect of temperature on the IE was studied. It was found that the presence of extract increases the activation energy of the corrosion reaction. Moreover, the heat of adsorption (Q~ads~) was also calculated. It was found that the Ficus virens extract provides a good protection against pitting corrosion in chloride ion containing solution.

## Abstract Titanium exhibits a good corrosion resistance in oxidizing acids and neutral media but it is severely attacked in reducing acids. On the contrary, tantalum presents an excellent resistance in both oxidizing and reducing acids, but its high cost limits its use to very aggressive conditio
