What is Electrochemical Behavior of Aluminium in Acidic Media about?
## 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.
