Abstract

Our research focuses on enhancing the potential of pumpkin seed waste extract as a sustainable corrosion inhibitor for metal (Fe) in 1 M HCl solution. Phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity were identified. Various investigative methodologies including experimental techniques such as Potentiodynamic Polarization (PDP) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of these pumpkin seed waste extract inhibitors in inhibiting corrosion. Electrochemical results showed that the effectiveness of the inhibitor was concentration dependent here reaching 83.11% at 3000 g/L pumpkin seed waste extract inhibitor. The PDP showed that the mixed inhibition control effectively retarded the corrosion of the metal. Furthermore, the adsorption behavior of the pumpkin seed waste extract inhibitor onto the metal follows the Langmuir isotherm model with physisorption properties. The adsorption mechanism of the inhibitor on the metal surface successfully formed a protective film on the metal surface thereby reducing the corrosion rate.

Abstract

Aluminum 6061 is one of the most widely used materials across various industrial sectors due to its good mechanical properties, lightweight nature, and corrosion resistance. However, in acidic environments, aluminum remains susceptible to corrosion, which can reduce its performance and service life. This study utilizes agricultural waste from kapok seeds (Ceiba pentandra) as an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for Aluminum 6061. The extract was obtained through maceration using ethanol as the solvent and was applied in corrosion tests of Aluminum 6061 in 1 M HCl solution. The evaluation was conducted using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques, along with isothermal adsorption analysis to understand the adsorption mechanism of the inhibitor on the metal surface. The results showed that the kapok seed extract significantly increased polarization resistance and reduced the corrosion rate, achieving a maximum inhibition efficiency of 78.77% at an optimal concentration of 3000 ppm. The inhibitor adsorption followed the Freundlich isotherm model, indicating strong binding interactions between the inhibitor molecules and the aluminum surface. Therefore, kapok seed extract has great potential as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective corrosion inhibitor for aluminum-based industries.

Abstract

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has promising potential as gas purification membrane and bioplastic substitute for conventional materials. PVA material was reinforced with nanocellulose timoho fibers (NCT). Ten grams of NCT, 30 mL of distilled water, and 10 grams of PVA were stirred (500 rpm) at <80 oC on a magnetic stirrer until gel formed, then spread on a Petri dish and dried in an oven at 50 °C for 21 hours. The elongation, tensile strength, and elastic modulus test results of PVA-NCT biocomposites showed increases of 21%, 29.97%, and 31.57%, respectively, compared to PVA biocomposites. This was due to the role of NCT as reinforcing agent and the mobility of PVA when tensile test. SEM morphology showed a fine speckled surface due to clumping. The thermal resistance of biocomposite increased due to the good interfacial bonding between NCT and the PVA matrix, thereby reducing the rate of weight loss. Exothermic reactions occurred in both biocomposites. The PVA biocomposite had a melting temperature of 110.34 °C, and PVA-NCT biocomposite 119.83 °C. The antibacterial activity of the PVA biocomposite has a lower inhibitory power compared to the PVA-NCT biocomposite. These biocomposites can be used for membrane materials and environmentally friendly bioplastics.
