The influence of neem leaf extract on corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.1 M HCl solution was studied using the weight loss method. Neem leaf extract which contains the double bond, carbonyl groups, and aromatic rings functional group as shown by the GCMS, phytochemical test, and FTIR analyses is one of the good natural plant extract that can be used as corrosion inhibitor. The weight loss on surface of mild steel at various inhibitor concentrations was determined. The highest inhibition efficiency of 93.24% was achieved using the neem leaf extract as corrosion inhibitor. Adsorption mechanism was investigated using Langmuir, Temkin, and Freundlich isotherms. Inhibitor adherence on the mild steel surface was spontaneous with the negative Gibb’s free energy value obtained. The mixed type adsorption mechanism (physisorption and chemisorption) is proposed for the inhibitor adsorption on mild steel surface. The inhibitor was adsorbed on the mild steel surface through adsorption of the phytochemical components on the surface of mild steel which protects the metal surface from corroding. The corrosion rate decreases from 0.001 to 0.0002MPY with increase in inhibitor concentrations and exposure time.

The adsorption isotherm model best fit of the methanol leaf extract of Securinega virosa as corrosion inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in 2 M HCl medium was determined with the assistance of the Adejo-Ekwenchi adsorption isotherm. The corrosion inhibition study was carried out using the weight loss method at the temperature range of 301 K to 313 K.  The inhibition efficiency, %IE, of the extract was found to increase with increase in both concentration and temperature. On the account of, R2 this adsorption process well fitted into Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin isotherm, Flory-Huggins and Adejo-Ekwenchi models. However, through the parameter b of the Adejo-Ekwenchi isotherm, which clearly shows the adsorption process to be chemisorption, the best isotherm fit for the extract has been resolved to be the Langmuir isotherm and Temkin isotherm models.
