Abstract

This paper presents experimental evidence of the ability of alcoholic Mentha extracts to inhibit the corrosion of low-carbon steel in aqueous acid solutions. Alcoholic extracts of Mentha spicata L., Mentha x gentilis L., Mentha crispa L., Mentha piperita L., and Mentha x piperita L. were tested. The corrosion inhibition capability of these extracts was confirmed by means of weight loss experiments, cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, polarization curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
