Resumen:
In the present work, the inhibitory effect of Ilex paraguariensis (Yerba Mate) extract on the corrosion of aluminum in 0.1 M HCl solution, in the temperature range of 298323 K, was studied by using weight loss tests, potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The extract of Ilex paraguariensis exhibits improved inhibitory action as its concentration increases while its performance is maintained despite an increase in temperature. EIS theoretical data according to a suitable proposed equivalent circuit were successfully fitted to the experimental data. The adsorption of organic compounds followed a modified Langmuir isotherm behaviour. Derived thermodynamic parameters indicate the occurrence of both chemical and physical adsorption.
