ABSTRACT : Samanea saman leaves extract (SSLE) was studied for its potential corrosion prevention properties on the mild
steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 medium using gravimetric analysis (Mass loss measurement), potentiodynamic polarization measurements
(PPM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared
spectroscopy (FT-IR), and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV- Vis). The effect of temperature on the corrosion behaviour of mild
steel was studied in the range of 308 to 333K. Result of temperature studies reveals that the inhibition efficiency decreases with
increase in temperature and found to increase with increase in the concentration of extract. The maximum inhibition efficiency is
observed at 1 ml concentration of SSLE at all temperatures studied. At 313 K, the maximum inhibition efficiency of 93% is
observed. Polarization curves indicate that SSLE is a mixed type inhibitor. Impedance study reveals that an increase in SSLE
concentration increases the charge transfer resistance and decreases double layer capacitance. The adsorption process obeys
Langmuir’s model with a standard free energy of adsorption, ∆Gads = -1.76 kJmol-1. The attained outcomes indicate that the
SSLE can be exploited as a looming inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in acerbic ambience.
IndexTerms - polarization measurements, charge transfer resistance, double layer capacitance, sulphuric acid.
1. INTRODUCTION
Corrosion is an electrochemical process by which metallic surfaces react with their surroundings to cause the metal to
lose its material properties due to surface deterioration .The use of inhibitors is one of the most practical methods for protecting
the metal against corrosion, especially in acidic media. The exploration of natural products of plant origin as inexpensive eco-
friendly corrosion inhibitors is an essential field of study.
Synthetic organic and inorganic chemicals have been studied as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in different aqueous
media. Synthetic inhibitors being toxic in nature are less preferred, which has made the exploration of natural compounds which
have a strong affinity towards the metal surface. In addition to environmentally friendly and ecologically acceptable, plant
products are low-cost, readily available and renewable sources of materials. Its prevention would be more practical and
achievable than complete elimination. In virtually all situations, metal corrosion can be managed, slowed or even stopped by
using proper techniques (Aji et al. 2016, Aprael et al. 2013, Eduok et al. 2012 , Muthukrishnan et al. 2015, and Alaa, 2014.)
Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merr. (syn. Samanea saman (Jacq.) F. v. Muell.) is globally distributed, a large tree, native to
tropical America, which has now become widespread throughout the humid and subhumid tropics. The synonym names of the
plant include Samanea saman (Jacq.) Mer, Mimosa saman Jacq, Pithecellobium saman (Jacq.), Enterolobium saman. The
common names for this tree includes Seneviratne, Cow Tamarind, East Indian Walnut, Monkey Pod, Rain Tree, Saman, Vaivai
Ni Vavalagi etc (ILDIS, 2005). Although noted as a promising agroforestry species, there is little specific research that
substantiates this potential. The parts of the tree were used for mitigating different diseases. The root decoction is used in hot
baths for stomach cancer in Venezuela. Rain Tree is a traditional remedy for colds, diarrhoea, headache, intestinal ailments and
stomach ache. The leaf infusion is used as a laxative. In the West Indies; seeds are chewed for sore throat. The alcoholic extract of
the leaves inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In Colombia, the fruit decoction is used as a sedative. It is concluded that the tree
should receive more research attention, focusing particularly on its interaction to a variety of environmental conditions.
2. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
2. 1 Material preparation
Mild steel (MS) specimen [composition (wt%) C, 0.205; Si, 0.06; Mn, 0.55; S, 0.47; P, 0.039; Fe, balance] with a size

2.3 Extraction of SSLE
Samanea saman leaves were collected in Thiagarajar College campus, Madurai district, India. 10 g of dried and
powdered leaves of Samanea saman was soaked in ethanol for 24 hrs in 250 ml round bottom flask. After 24 hrs, 100 ml of
double distilled water was added to the content of the round bottom flask and then refluxed for 3 hrs, after refluxtion the
content is well cooled and then triple filtered. The excess of ethanol was removed by heating at thermobath. The resulted well
concentrated solution is dark green in color. The required amount of extract is directly pipette out into respective corrosive
environmental acid solution.
2.4 The mass loss measurement
The polished and pre-weighed mild steel specimens were immersed in 100 ml of 0.5 M H2SO4 solution containing 0 to
0.2 ml inhibitor for 2 hrs at different temperatures (308-333 K). After 2 hrs of immersion, the specimens were removed from
the solution, rinsed with double distilled water, washed with acetone, dried thoroughly, and weighed. The mass of the mild
steel specimens before and after immersion was determined using an analytical balance with a precision of 0.1 and the mass
losses were averaged. The mass loss (W) was used to calculate the surface coverage (θ) and the inhibition efficiency (IE %):
θ = Wo- Wi/ Wo (1)
IE = Wo- Wi/ Wo×100% (2)
Where Wo and Wi are the mass loss (g) of mild steel in the absence and presence of an inhibitor, respectively.The corrosion
rate (CR) of mild steel was calculated using the formula:
CR= 534×W/DAT (3)
Where W is the mass loss of mild steel (g), D is the density of mild steel (7.8 g cm-6), A is the surface area of the specimen
(0.2345 cm2), and T is the period of immersion (hrs)
2.5 Electrochemical measurement
A CH Instruments model 604D electrochemical analyzer was used to record Tafel polarization curves and Nyquist
impedance curves. A three electrode cell assembly was used. The working electrode (0.2 cm2 of mild steel specimen) was
exposed to 0.5 M H2SO4 solution in the absence and presence of SSLE. A platinum electrode and a saturated calomel electrode
(SCE) were used as the counter and reference electrode, respectively. All electrochemical measurements were conducted at
308K using 100 ml of electrode (0.5 M H2SO4 solution) a stationary condition. Before each potentiodynamic polarization
(Tafel) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement, the electrode was immersed in the test solution at
open circuit potential (OCP) for 30 min to attain a stable state. Potentiodynamic polarization curves were recorded from -300
to +300 mV vs. SCE (OCP) at scan rate of 0.333 mVs-1 and all the potentials reported are with reference to SCE. The corrosion
parameter specifically, corrosion potential (Ecorr), corrosion current density (Icorr), cathodic slope (bc) and anodic slope (ba)
were estimated, and the inhibition efficiency (IE %) was calculated from Icorr values using the following equation:
IE% = Icorr (blank ) - Icorr (inhibitor)/Icorr (blank)×100% (4)
Where Icorr (blank) and Icorr (inhibitor) are the corrosion current density values in the absences and presence of an inhibitor
respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were conducted at OCP in the frequency of 0.1 Hz to100
kHz with 5-mV peak to peak amplitude using ac voltage. The cell setup was the same as that used for the polarization
measurement. The real and imaginary parts of the cell impedance were measured in ohms for various frequencies. The
efficiencies for each concentration were calculated using the following formulas:
IE% = Rct (inhibitor) - Rct (blank)/ Rct (inhibitor)×100% (5)
where Rct (blank) and Rct (inhibitor) are the charge transfer resistance in the absence and presence of an inhibitor, respectively. The
double layer capacitance (Cdl) was calculated using the following formula;
Cdl= 1/2π×Rct×fmax×100 (6)
Where fmaxis the frequency at the maximum in the Nyquist plot. Each experiment was run in triplicate to verify the
reproducibility of the data.
2.6 Ultraviolet spectroscopy study
Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) adsorption spectra of the SSLE and the prepared mild steel specimens were collected after
the specimens had been immersed in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution with the optimum concentration of inhibitor (0.4 ml) at 308 K for 2
hrs. The UV-Vis absorption spectra were measured using a JASCO, Japan V-630 spectrophotometer.
2.7 Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy
FT-IR spectra were recorded using a Jasco, Japan 460 plus spectrometer. The spectra for SSLE and the protective film
formed on the mild steel surface were recorded by carefully removing the film, mixed it with a small amount of KBr powder,
and compacting the mixture into a disk.
2.8 Scanning Electron Microscope–Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDAX)
The surface morphology of the mild steel specimen was performed with SEM-EDAX analysis with Leo Supra 50 VP
(Carl-Ziess SMT, Oberkashen, Germany) and Oxford INCA400 (Oxford Instrument Analytical, Bucks, UK). The specimen
mild steel was taken 1×1cm for the analysis of SEM-EDAX. The specimens for surface morphological examinations were
immersed in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution containing the optimum concentration of inhibitor (0.4 ml) and test solution for 2 hrs. They
were then removed, rinsed quickly with acetone, and dried. The specimen that shows high inhibition was examined with
specimens without inhibitors and fresh steel.

The variation of corrosion rate in the presence and absence of SSLE is depicted in Figure 1. The corrosion rate of the
mild steel decreases with increasing concentration of SSLE at all the temperature (Table I). This result suggest that the
adsorption of inhibitor molecule on the mild steel surface protects the metal from corrosion (Bothi Raja, 2009).

3.2. Variation of inhibition efficiency with temperature
The influence of temperature on different concentrations of SSLE extract (0.2 to 1.0) for the corrosion inhibition of the
mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 is shown in Figure 2. As in the figure, the inhibition efficiency increases from 308 K to 313 K and
then decreases with increasing temperature at all the concentration of SSLE, which indicates the considerable surface coverage
by the inhibitor and strong binding to the surface of the mild steel up to K and further the inhibitive film formed on the metal
surface desorbs at higher temperature (Ostovari et al. 2009, Martinez et al. 2002, Ebenso et al. 2009, Oguzie et al. 2005, Ita et
al. 1999, and Bouklah et al. 2006). The effectiveness of the SSLE is attributable to may be the presence of π- aromatic ring and
lone pairs of electron on the nitrogen and oxygen atom (Torres et al. 2011, Lebrini et al. 2010).

3.3. Effect of immersion time
The effect of immersion time in the range of 1 to 4 hrs was determined by the mass-loss method. The graphical
representation of time vs inhibition efficiency was shown in Figure 3. The inhibition efficiency is found to increases from 65 to
87.0 at 1.0 ml concentration of SSLE in 0.2 M H2SO4 solution at the time period of 1 to 2hrs and then decreases the inhibition
efficiency at 3hrs from 87.0 to 79.0 and the increases to 89 at 4hrs. The inhibition efficiency is higher at 1.0ml concentration
with the immersion time of 2 hrs. The increase in inhibition efficiency from 1 hr to 2 hrs reflects the strong adsorption of
constituents present in the extract onto the mild steel/acid solution interface. After 2hrs, the inhibition efficiency attains
approximately a saturated state.

3.4. Activation parameters for inhibition process
Thermodynamic parameter such as the apparent activation energy (Ea), the enthalpy of activation (∆H*), and the entropy
of activation (∆S*) for the mild steel corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution in the absence and presence of different concentration
of SSLE at 308-333K were calculated from the Arrhenius and transition-state equation:
Log(CR) = Log(A) - (Ea/2.303RT) (7)
Log(CR) /T=Log (R/hNA) + (∆S*/2.303R) – ( ∆H*/2.303RT) (8)
Where A is the frequency factor, T is the temperature, Ea is the apparent activation energy, R is the molar gas constant, h is the
plank’s constant, NA is the Avogadro’s number, ∆S* is the entropy of activation, and ∆H*is the enthalpy of activation. The
activation energy (Ea) is calculated from the slope of the plot of Log(CR)vs 1/T .polts (Figure 4). Plots of Log(CR/T) vs. 1/T
give a straight line with a slope of –∆H*/2.303R and an intercept of Log(R/hNA) + ∆S*/2.303R, as shown in Figure 5. The
activation parameters ∆H* and ∆S* calculated from this relation, and the value of E aranging from 82.26 to 162.35 kJ/mol is
given in Table II. The values for the samples measured in the presence of the inhibitor are greater than those measured in its
absence, which clearly indicates that the corrosion reaction of the mild steel is inhibited by SSLE. The increase in activation
energy in the presence of the inhibitor indicates physical adsorption. In addition, the activation energy value (approximately 40-
80 kJ/mol) also suggests a physical adsorption mechanism. Similar trend has been reported in the previous literature (Tang et al.
2003, Li et al. 2005 and Tang et al. 2006). The decreasing in apparent activation energy at higher level of inhibition and
increase at very high concentration arose from shifting of the net corrosion reaction between one on the uncovered surface and
one involving the covered surface (Popava, 2007) . This conclusion is confirmed by the decrease in inhibition efficiency with
increasing temperature. The positive values of the enthalpies (∆H*) range from 89.68 to 169.60 kJ/mol, reflects the
endothermic nature of the mild steel in the presence of the inhibitor (Guan et al. 2007). The negative values of the entropy (∆S*)

imply that the activated complex in the rate-determining step represents an association rather than a dissociation step, meaning
that the a decrease in disorder occurs upon going from reactants to the activated complex, thus a greater degree of orderliness
appears during the inhibitor’s transformation from a reactant to an activated complex (Martinez et al. 2002 and Marsh,1988). In
addition, the less negative values of ∆S* in the presence of the inhibitor compared to those in its absence implies that the
presence of the inhibitor creates a near corrosion equilibrium corrosion system state (Abd El-Rehim,2002). The -∆S values
ranging from 311.65 to 201.61untill1ml concentration of SSLE. The entropy values decreases from 0.2 to 1.0 ml this indicate
that disorder minimized when we increases concentration.

3.5. Adsorption isotherm
The primary step in the action of inhibitor in acid solution is generally agreed to the adsorption onto the metal surface
(Solmaz et al. 2008). The adsorption process is influenced by the chemical structure of organic compound being adsorbed, the
distribution of charge in the molecule, the nature and surface charge of the metal, and the type of aggressive medium (Noor
2007, Kertit et al. 1989). Many investigations have used the adsorption isotherm to study inhibitor characteristic assuming that
the inhibitor adsorbed on the metal surface decrease the surface area available for electrode reaction to take place (Banerjee and
Malhotra 1992, Allen et al. 1995). The adsorption characteristic of SSLE as a corrosion inhibitor were investigated by fitting the
data obtained for the degree of surface coverage to different adsorption isotherm including Langmuir, Temkin, Freundlich, and
Frumkin adsorption isotherm. The tests indicate that the adsorption of SSLE onto the metal surface is best described by the
Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, which can be expressed as
C (inh)/θ = (1 / Kads) + C (9)
Where C (inh) is the concentration of inhibitor (ml) and Kads is the equilibrium constant of adsorption. Figure 6 represents the
Langmuir isotherm for the adsorption of the studied inhibitor. The slope of the plots and the R2 values of the fit curves are
unity, which indicate that the adsorption of SSLE is consistent of Langmuir adsorption model.
The equilibrium constant of adsorption deduced from the Langmuir adsorption isotherm is related to the standard free energy of
adsorption (∆Gads) of the inhibitor as follows:
∆Gads = -RT ln (55.5 × Kads) (10)
Where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, and 55.5 is the molar concentration of water in solution. All the calculated
thermodynamic parameter is listed in Table III. The value of ∆Gads for the adsorption of SSLE onto the mild steel surface is
negative and this value is consistent with the spontaneity of adsorption process and the stability of the adsorbed layer on the
mild steel surface. In general, the ∆Gads values of approximately -20 kJmol-1 lower are consistent with the electrostatic
interaction between the charged molecules and the charged metal (physisorption) those of approximately -40 kJmol-1 or higher
involve charge sharing or charge transfer from organic molecule to the metal surface to from a coordinate type of bond
(chemisorption) (Hoar and Khera, 1960). Physical adsorption is consistent with charge sharing or charge transfer from inhibitor
to metallic surface to form co-ordinate type of bond (Hosseini et al. 2003 and Gunavathy and Murugavel 2012). The ∆Gads
values indicate physical adsorption of SSLE onto the metal surface.
The heat of adsorption and the entropy of adsorption are important parameter for understanding the adsorption of organic
inhibitor at metal/solution interfaces. The heat of adsorption (∆Hads) is calculated using the van’t Hoff equation:
lnKads = - ∆Hads/RT + ∆Sads / R +ln 1 / 55.5 (11)
Figure 7 shows the straight line of the plot of lnKadsvs. 1 /T; the slope of the straight line is equal to -∆Hads /R. the heat of
adsorption is approximately regarded as the standard heat of adsorption (∆Hads) under experimental condition. The standard
entropy of adsorption (∆Sads) is now obtained by the thermodynamic basic equation:
∆Sads= ∆Hads -∆Gads / T (12)
The negative values of enthalpy indicates` that the heat is released during the adsorption process. In an exothermic process, the
physisorption is distinguished from chemisorptions by the absolute value of the adsorption enthalphy. If the absolute value is
less than 41.86 kJmol-1, indicating that physisorption is operative, whereas the enthalphy of chemisorptions is close to 100
kJmol-1. In the present study, the enthalpy is -49.20 kJmol-1 indicating that physisorption is the process under control. The ∆Sads
values range between -0.99to -1.33 kJmol-1 in the temperature range of 308-333K. The negative values of entropy suggest that
an exothermic adsorption process occurs, which, in turn, suggests that adsorption is coupled with a decrease in system disorder
due to the adsorption of the inhibitor onto the steel surface. Because the adsorption of the extracts on the metal surface is in
conformity with Langmuir isotherm, there is no interactive or repulsive force between the adsorbed molecules on the metal
surface.

8. The various corrosion parameter such as corrosion current density (Icorr), the cathodic and anodic tafel slopes (bc and ba), the
corrosion potential (Ecorr), and the inhibition efficiency were obtained from the anodic and cathodic current potential curves
were extrapolated to their intersection point and the values depicted in the Table IV. As evident from result in table, the Icorr
values decreases from 2.577×10-3 to 9.932×10-5 µA.cm-2 in the presence of SSLE as a consequence of an increase in the fraction
of the electrode surface blocked by adsorption (Eduok et al 2012). The decreasing the corrosion current density clearly indicate
decreasing corrosion rate. A change in the Ecorr value is also noticed in the presence of SSLE. According to Ferreira et al.
(i) If the displacement in the Ector value is greater than 85 mV, the inhibitor act as a cathodic or anodic type inhibitors (Flores et
al. 2012).

(ii) If the displacement in the Ecorr value is less than 85 m V, the inhibitor is considered mixed- type inhibitor. In the present
study, the maximum displacement in the Ecorr value is 35 m V, which indicates that the studied inhibitor is a mixed-type
inhibitor. In the present study, the maximum shift Ecorr values are in the range of 40 mV. From the values, it is confirmed that
the SSLEs act as mixed type inhibitor (Ali AI and Foaud 2012).
As evident in the figure, the anodic reaction of steel electrode corrosion is inhibited with increasing SSLE concentration. Also
the addition of SSLE suppressed the cathodic reaction to a lesser extent than the anodic reaction. This result indicate that the
addition of SSLE reduces the anodic dissolution and retard the hydrogen evolution reaction, which suggest that the SSLE act as
mixed-type inhibitor (Bentiss et al. 2007, Ferreia et al. 2004 and Quraishi et al. 2010). The change in ba and bc values as
shown in Table IV indicates that adsorption of Samanea saman leaves extract modifies the mechanism of anodic dissolution as
well as cathodic hydrogen evolution. This suppression of the corrosion process can be attributed to the covering of adsorbed
inhibitor molecules on the mild steel surface. The corrosion reaction is more diminished in the presence of more concentration
of inhibitor (Tang et al. 2010). Inspection of tables reveals that the addition of SSLE shifted the Ecorr to less negative value and
no definite trend was observed in the shift of Ecorr values in the presence of various concentration of inhibitor. The values of Icorr
mild steel in the inhibited solution were smaller than those for the inhibitor free solution. The decrease of corrosion current may
be explained by the action of inhibitor on both anodic and cathodic reaction (Behpour et al. 2009). The values of ba are shifted
to higher values when the SSLE present in comparison to the value obtained using the blank. This result shows that the SSLE
inhibits the corrosion mechanism by controlling predominantly the anodic reaction and the cathodic sides of the metal surface.

3.7. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
Nyquist plot for the mild steel in 0.5M H2SO4 solution in the absence and presence of various concentration of SSLE are
presented in Figure 9, which clearly indicates that the dissolution process is under activation control. The impedance response
consists of semicircles of capacitive type, whose size increase with increasing SSLE concentration. The diameters of the
capacitive loop increased with increasing inhibitor concentration. This indicates the increasing coverage of the metal surface
and also signifies a charge-transfer process as the main controlling factor in the corrosion process (Musa et al. 2010).The
impedance response of the mild steel in H2SO4 solution in the presence of SSLE is characterized by a diffusion tail. Therefore,
the presence of SSLE introduces a diffusion step into the corrosion process and the reaction becomes diffusion controlled. In
this case, corrosion can occur in two step at the electrochemical interfaces; the first step is metal oxidation (charge transfer
process), and the second step is the diffusion of metallic ion from the metal surface to the solution (mass transport process).

Inhibitors are adsorbed onto the electrode surface and thereby produced a barrier to metal diffusion to the bulk; this barrier
increases with increasing inhibitor concentration (El-Etre , 2007).
Charge transfer resistance (Rct) values and the double layer capacitance (Cdl) were obtained; the result is shown in Table V. It
is shown that the charge transfer resistance increases with increasing inhibitor concentration in the acid solution, which
indicates the formation of an insulated adsorption layer. Result in the Table V also indicates that the Cdl values decreases and
that the charge transfer resistance increases after the addition of inhibitor concentration. The decrease in the Cdl values and
increase in the Rct values are due to gradual replacement of water molecules by adsorption of chemical constituents in SSLE at
the metal/solution interface, which leads to the formation of a protective film on the metal surface, which then retards the extent
of the dissolution reaction (Sharmila et al. 2010). The decrease in Cdl is likely due to a decrease in the local dielectric constant
and/or an increase in the thickness of the double layer at the electrode surface, thereby enhancing corrosion resistance of the
mild steel (Benabdellah et al. 2007 and Satpati and Ravindran, 2008).The increase in the Rct is ascribed to a formation of a
protective film on the metal/solution interface. The observation suggests that SSLE function by adsorption at the metal surface,
thereby causing a decrease in the Cdl values and an increase in the Rct values.

3.8. Bode plot analysis
The SSLE offers relatively better corrosion resistance to the mild steel than its absence as evident from Figure10. The Bode
phase angle plot suggests the involvement of one time constant characteristic of active corrosion and thus it is concluded that
one mechanism prevailed for the corrosion inhibition and that the occurrence could be related to the electrode/extract interface
(Khaled, 2003).

3.9. Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy
FT-IR spectroscopy is a tool for identification of functional group present in sample. Each peaks of SSLE indicate
specific functional groups. The different functional groups present in SSLE are identified using the FT-IR spectroscopic
method. The FT-IR spectrum of SSLE is shown in Figure 11a and its deposition on mild steel is shown in Figure 11b. This
spectrum clearly indicates that leaf extract molecule interacts to metal surface during electrochemical corrosion reaction. FT-IR
spectrum of SSLE and SSLE deposition on mild steel is identical that means each characteristic peaks are similar. This is
confirmed the formation of Fe-SSLE complex. The first broad band appears at 3472cm-1 indicates the presence of –OH
stretching frequency of sulphonyl group (-SO3H). The second sharp band appears at 1616cm-1 which indicates the presence of –
N-H deformation which indicatethe presence of nitrogen heteroatom. The third band appeared at 1412cm-1 indicates that diaryl
or dialkyl ester group present in SSLE. The fourth and fifth band is very low intensity having the frequency of 1222, 624 cm-1
corresponding to C=S and C-S stretching frequency indicated that SSLE contain the S hetero atom. These heteroatoms interact
with mild steel surface to form a Fe-SSLE complex (Behpour et al. 2008).

3.10. Ultra Violet – visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy
The absorption of monochromatic light is a suitable method for identifying the complex ions (Faraji et al. 2013). In
order to confirm the possible formation of inhibitor-Fe complex, UV– visible absorption spectra were performed in 0.5 M
H2SO4 solution containing 1.0 ml SSLE before and after the mild steel immersion and the results are shown in Fig. 12 a and b.
After 2 h immersion of mild steel, the change in the position of absorption maximum or the change in the absorbance values
indicates that the complex formation between two species in solution (Silverstein et al. 2003 and Abboud et al. 2007) .

However, there is no change in the shape of absorption spectra. This spectrum clearly indicate plant inhibitor molecule interact
with metal surface (Gopiraman et al. 2012). Similar to FT-IR spectrum peak intensity of SSLE is high. After interaction,
hypsochromic shift (Blue shift) occurs (that is intensity of leaf extract deposition on mild steel is shifted to left). The ethanolic
leaf extract of Samanea saman is straw yellow in colour hence visible active from electromagnetic spectrum. The before
interaction there are three bands appeared at 223, 268 and 340nm. The first band 223nm confirmed the presence of olefinic
double bond and → electronic transition. The second band 268nm confirmed that the presence of phenolic and acidic
group and carbonyl group and n → electronic transition. The third band appeared at 340nm -N=N- and n → electronic
transition. After interaction, one band disappeared and two band corresponding to 207nm, 268nm. There is small change in
value.

3.11. SEM and EDAX studies
The morphologies of the mild steel immersed in 0.2 M H2SO4 solution in the absence and presence of the optimum
concentration of inhibitor (1.0 ml) for 2 hrs are shown in Figure 13. Figure 13 (a) shows that the mild steel surface before the
specimen was immersed in the acid solution is absolutely free of any pits and cracks; small scratches are clearly visible due to
the abrading treatment. Figure 13 (b) shows the morphology of after immersion in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution is strongly damaged in
the absence if inhibitor due to metal dissolution in acid solution. The surface is highly porous, and large and deep holes appear.
Figure 13 (c) shows the appearance of the smooth mild steel surface after the inhibitor was added to the solution. As evident in
Figure 13 (c) the rate of corrosion is diminished, and the smooth surface appear as a result of the formation of a protective film
on metal surface; this film is responsible for corrosion inhibition.

The X-axis of the EDAX spectrum shows the energy level of those counts. The Y-axis shows the counts (number of X-
rays received and processed by the detector). The EDAX spectrum (Fig. 14 a) of fresh mild steel indicates the presence of Fe,
C, O. The carbon present in steel due to impurities and pure mild steel is not durability but carbon contained steel is employed
for commercial purpose. The oxygen peaks due to mild steel exposed to atmospheric air because mild steel is very sensitive to
oxygen. The EDAX spectrum of corroded steel (Fig. 14 b) contain Fe, S, O, C confirmed corrosion occurs in the presence of
0.5 M H2SO4 acid medium. The EDAX spectrum of protected steel (Fig. 14c) by SSLE confirmed steel well protected because
the presence of Fe, Mn, S, Si, C, O. The unexpected peaks of Mn and Si may be plant constituents. The S peaks with small
intensity continuum peaks may be obtained from aggressive media. The oxygen peaks also present but considering corrosion
prevention there is no corrosion product. This peak of may be –OH group present in plant extract. The oxygen intensity of from
EDAX spectrum of inhibited mild steel is decreases that confirmed the deposition of oxygen is restricted due to protection of
steel using SSLE as a green inhibitor.

3.12. Mechanism of corrosion inhibition process
The Mechanism is a way of understanding corrosion prevention properties of inhibitor. The inhibitor may adsorb onto
metal-acid solution interface by the following way of
1. Donor-Acceptor interaction between pi-electrons of an aromatic ring and vacant d-orbital of surface of iron atom.
2. Interaction between unpaired electron of heteroatom and vacant d-orbital of surface of iron atom.
In general two mode of adsorption can be considered for the surface of metal atom in corrosive acidic environment. In one
mode, neutral molecule are adsorbed onto the mild steel surface through chemisorptions mechanism, which involve the
displacement of water molecule from the metal surface and sharing of electron between heteroatom and iron. The inhibitor
molecule can also adsorbed onto the mild steel surface via donor-acceptor interaction between pi-electron of an aromatic ring
and vacant d-orbital of surface of iron atom. In the other mode, because the steel surface is well known to bear a positive charge
in an acid solution (Abboud , 2009). The ability of protanated molecule to approach the positively charged mild steel surface
(H3O+/metal interface) is inhibited by electrostatic repulsion. Because sulfate ions have smaller charge of hydration, they bring
excess negative charge to the interfacial vicinity and favor increased adsorption of the positively charged inhibitor molecules.
The protonated inhibitor adsorb through electrostatic interaction between the positively charged molecules and the negatively
charged metal surface.
SSLE + XH+ → [SSLEHx]x+ (13)

In aqueous acidic solutions, the SSLE exist either as neutral molecules or in the form of cations (protanated SSLE). Generally,
two modes of adsorption can be considered. The neutral SSLE may be adsorbed on the metal surface via the chemisorptions
mechanism involving the displacement of water molecules from the metal surface and the sharing of electrons between oxygen
atom and iron. The SSLE molecules can be adsorbed also on the metal surface on the basis of donar-acceptors interactions
between pi electrons of the heterocycle and vacant d orbital of iron. On the other hand, the protanated SSLE may be adsorbed
through electrostatic interaction between the positive molecules and already adsorbed sulfate ions. Thus, the metal complexes
of Fe2+ and SSLE or protonated SSLE may be formed as follows:
SSLE + Fe2+ ↔ [SSLE-Fe]2+ (14)
[SSLEHx]x+ + Fe2+ ↔ [SSLEx-Fe](2+x)+ (15)
These complexes are adsorbed on the mild steel surface by Vander der Waals force to from a protective film to keep the mild
steel surface from corrosion (Mu GN et al. 1996).The mechanism of inhibition is generally believed to due to the metal surface.
In the current investigation, the leaf extract of Samanea saman is found to perform as good inhibitor for mild steel corrosion (Li
XH et al.2009).
4. Conclusion
In our present study the mode of interaction between mild steel and SSLE reported as physisorption and monolayer of
adsorption (obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm) already discussed in adsorption isotherm studies. The value of Cdl decreases
when increasing concentration of inhibitor confirmed by impedance spectroscopy. This result suggests that the double layer
slightly becomes a monolayer. Monolayer is uniformly distributed on mild steel surface hence the active site of the mild steel is
blocked.
The inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentration up to 1 ml, but decrease with increasing temperature,
which means that the adsorption occurs physically.
Adsorption of SSLE onto the mild steel in 0.2 M H2SO4 solution obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The
negative values of ∆Gads indicate spontaneous adsorption of inhibitor onto the mild steel surface and point to the physical nature
of adsorption onto the mild steel surface
Potentiodynamic polarization studies reveal that SSLE as a mixed type inhibitor.
Electrochemical impedance measurement indicates the formation of a protective film on the mild steel surface in sulfuric
acid solution.
SEM and EDAX result clearly indicate the presence of a protective surface layer on the mild steel surface.
UV-Vis spectrophotometric studies reveal the formation of an Fe-SSLE complex, which responsible for the observed
corrosion inhibition.
FT-IR spectroscopy data suggest that the protective film of a Fe- SSLE complex.
