J. Sci. VL - 47 IS - 5 SE - Articles DO - 10.4314/tjs.v47i5.9 UR - https://tjs.udsm.ac.tz/index.php/tjs/article/view/867 SP - 1588-1595 AB - <p>The effects of temperature on the inhibitive effect of naturally occurring <em>Acacia senegal</em> gum exudate on the corrosion of mild steel in sulfuric acid was studied between 35 and 70 °C using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization methods. Findings showed that <em>Acacia senegal</em> gum exudate decreases the corrosion rate of mild steel. The inhibition efficiency declined with raising temperature above 35 °C. The increase in the corrosion rate with increasing temperature was observed for both uninhibited and inhibited systems. Addition of halide ions to the <em>Acacia senegal</em> gum exudate solution enhanced the corrosion inhibition efficiency because of synergistic effects, achieving higher performance with iodide ions as compared to bromide ions. However, the synergistic effects declined above 35 °C up to 70 °C due to temperature effects. It has been observed that increasing temperature adversely affected inhibition efficiencies of both <em>Acacia senegal</em> gum exudate and the synergy between <em>Acacia senegal</em> gum exudate and halide ions. Corrosion rates of mild steel, inhibition efficiencies of <em>Acacia senegal</em> gum exudate and the synergistic effects of halide ions from polarization and impedance measurements were consistent.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: temperature, corrosion, mild steel, synergistic effects, <em>Acacia senegal</em>, gum exudate.</p> ER -
