However, the high reactivity of sulfuric acid can cause the 304SS to be corroded. is is due to the dissolution of the protective layer of chromium oxide containing nickel directly. erefore, the corrosion was controlled by using inhibitor. is was done because it is a simple application and has no effect on the production process [4]. e use of inhibitors in general has been widely studied to solve a metal corrosion problem in acid solution [5–11].

However, inorganic inhibitors have a lot of disadvantages. e salts form of chromate compounds has high toxicity that is harmful to the environment. Another inorganic inhibitor is titanium (IV) oxide (TiO) that is rarely used because of being very expensive. Moreover, inorganic inhibitors have characteristics that increase the corrosion rate if used in excess amount [17]. erefore, the use of inorganic inhibitors has been replaced by organic inhibitors which are more eco-friendly, cheaper, and easier to obtain [18–25]. e efficient inhibitors are organic compounds that contain elec- tronegative atom (i.e., N, S, or O) or double bond in their structure [26–28]. Unfortunately, the synthetic organic com- pounds can be toxic and hazardous for environment, so today many researchers use organic compounds from natural mate- rials as inhibitor. Organic inhibitors from natural material used are part of the plant [29], such as extract of the leaves [5, 18], seeds [19], fruit [20], and rod [21]. Aside from the parts of plants, honey is also a natural material that have been reported to be good for retarding the corrosion rate of copper, carbon steel alloys, and aluminum in salt environment [15, 24, 25].

1 Introduction

Stainless Steel (SS) type 304 is widely used as the main con-struction in the nuclear petroleum energy food and medi-cine industry as well as the electrochemical industry [1] The304SS can be applied in various fields of industry and non-industry compared to other types It has high corrosion resis-tance in aggressive environments especially under high tem-perature conditions on gas environmentThe corrosion resis-tance is from stable chrome oxide layer on the metal surfacethat protects themetal fromcorrosive environment attack [2]

The acid pickling cleaning and descaling and also oilacidizing are meant to remove the dirt scale and rust onsteelThe process uses strong acids such as hydrochloric acid(HCl) and sulfuric acid (H

2SO4) in various concentrations

[3] However the high reactivity of sulfuric acid can causethe 304SS to be corrodedThis is due to the dissolution of theprotective layer of chromiumoxide containing nickel directlyTherefore the corrosion was controlled by using inhibitorThis was done because it is a simple application and has noeffect on the production process [4] The use of inhibitors ingeneral has been widely studied to solve a metal corrosionproblem in acid solution [5ndash11] Inhibitors are substances that

can reduce and prevent the metal reaction in its environmentwith a very small amount [12ndash16]

Formerly inhibitors which were widely used were inor-ganic inhibitors However inorganic inhibitors have a lot ofdisadvantages The salts form of chromate compounds hashigh toxicity that is harmful to the environment Anotherinorganic inhibitor is titanium (IV) oxide (TiO) that is rarelyused because of being very expensive Moreover inorganicinhibitors have characteristics that increase the corrosion rateif used in excess amount [17] Therefore the use of inorganicinhibitors has been replaced by organic inhibitors which aremore eco-friendly cheaper and easier to obtain [18ndash25] Theefficient inhibitors are organic compounds that contain elec-tronegative atom (ie N S or O) or double bond in theirstructure [26ndash28] Unfortunately the synthetic organic com-pounds can be toxic and hazardous for environment so todaymany researchers use organic compounds fromnaturalmate-rials as inhibitor Organic inhibitors from natural materialused are part of the plant [29] such as extract of the leaves [518] seeds [19] fruit [20] and rod [21] Aside from the parts ofplants honey is also a natural material that have been reportedto be good for retarding the corrosion rate of copper carbonsteel alloys and aluminum in salt environment [15 24 25]

Honey is a natural result that is processed by bees fromthe nectar of flower or plant parts However the price ofhoney is expensive and it is commonly used as the drugmakes it nonefficient as an inhibitor on an industrial scaleTherefore we use the bee wax propolis (BWP) extract asinhibitor in the present study The BWP is a waste ofhoneycomb and contains a compound similar to honey soit is possible to be used as a corrosion inhibitor The presentstudy is devoted to investigation of the inhibition efficiencyof the BWP extract for corrosion of 304SS in 05MH

2SO4

solution The corrosion measurement was performed by anelectrochemical methodThe influence of temperature on theinhibition efficiency and mechanism of inhibition and theformation of a passive layer will also be discussed

2 Materials and Methods

21 Sample Preparation Extraction and Inhibitor Character-istics The 304SS in the present study had chemical composi-tion (wt) 004 C 052 Si 092 Mn 0030 P 0002S 958 Ni 1815 Cr and bal Fe The 304SS specimenswith 02mm times 1 cm times 1 cm dimension were prepared forthe working electrode (WE) The WE was added to epoxyresin with a geometric exposed surface area measuring 1 cm2and connected to the electrolyte Before the experiment thespecimen surface was polished with emery paper of grades400 to 1200 consecutively

The BWP is used as honeycomb waste that had beensqueezed 3-4 times These wastes were usually in the formof wax and remaining of sticky honey The BWP wasextracted by liquid-liquid method in order to obtain theoptimum conditions The extract of BWP was characterizedby Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) andHigh Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) FTIRanalysis aims to determine the functional groups containedin the BWP extract FTIR spectra showed the characteristicwavenumber of flavonoids which were a carbonyl group(C=O ketone) at 171267 cmminus1 OH at 336748 cmminus1 andaromatic group at 164902 151402 and 146001 cmminus1 Iden-tification of the main compounds in the BWP extract wasfollowed by HPLC analysis The result of HPLC identifica-tion showed that quercetin (2-(34-dihydroxyphenyl)-357-trihydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one) was the greatest compoundin the BWP extract

22 Electrochemical Measurement Standard ASTM (Amer-ican Standard and Testing) G31 was the reference used inthis measurement [31] One batch contained 05M sulfuricacid solution in various concentrations of BWP extractThere were 7 batches with BWP extract composition asfollows 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 and 6000 ppmThe tests were carried out at room temperature (298K) Theoptimum concentration obtained from the measurement ofroom temperature was later tested at temperature variations(298 308 318 and 328K) Electrochemical measurementwas carried out at room temperature using an AutolabPGSTAT128N The optimum concentration of inhibitor wastested at temperature variations (298 308 318 and 328K)Specimens that have been prepared were then assembled into

an electrochemical cell with AgAgCl (3MKCl) as referenceelectrode (RE) and platinum as an auxiliary electrode (AE)and then immersed in a batch for 30 minutes The startingpotential was minus10 V and the scan rate range extended up+10V at Open Circuit Potential (OCP) with voltage scan rateof 0001 Vs Inhibition efficiency is calculated by [7 25 32]

TheElectrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)mea-surement was conducted in the range frequency from 1000to 1Hz with amplitude of 15mA peak-to-peak AC signalgalvanostatically at the OCP The working electrode wasimmersed in the test solution for 30 minutes to establishconstant signal at open circuit potential Inhibition efficiencyusing EIS method was formulated by [7 33]

3 Results and Discussion

31 pH Measurement There were no significant changes inpH by the addition of various concentrations of inhibitorTheaverage pH value of the solution without inhibitor was 15with 3 replicationsThe presence of inhibitor (1000 2000 and3000 ppm) in solution gives the average pH value of 148 147and 144 respectively

32Potentiodynamic PolarizationMeasurements Data obtainedfrom polarization are used to analyze the adsorption mecha-nism [10]Thepolarization curves obtainedwere extrapolatedto calculate corrosion parameters such as 119868corr 119864corr 120573119886 and120573119888[19 24] Figures 1(a) and 1(b) show the Tafel plots for 304SS

in 05MH2SO4without and with various concentrations of

inhibitor and the representative of the extrapolation exampleof Tafel plot for 304SS in 05MH

2SO4solution respec-

tively The results of extrapolation of Tafel plots are shown inTable 1

The optimum IE was 9727 which was gained onthe addition of 2000 ppm (Table 1) These results indicatedthat the corrosion rate of 304SS can be inhibited effectivelywith the increase of concentration that reached 2000 ppmIncreasing of IE value is proportional to decreasing ofcurrent density Data obtained from polarization are usedto analyze the adsorption mechanism [24] At concentrationof 2000 ppm the smallest current density was produceddue to the uniform adsorption of inhibitor molecules onmetal surfaces Optimum inhibition efficiency obtained ata concentration of 2000 ppm and decreased with increasingconcentration of inhibitor was suspected physical adsorption

mechanism [35] When the inhibitor addition is more thanthe optimum concentration the solution will be saturatedThere is possibility for strong interaction between inhibitormolecules in the solution and inhibitor which was attachedin the surface of metal so that this layer will be releasedagain into solution [36] According to Table 1 anodic Tafelconstants (120573

119886) and cathodic Tafel constants (120573

119888) are shown to

be irregular Irregularity of 120573119886and 120573

119888showed that the BWP

extract was a mixed inhibitor that modify the mechanism ofanodic dissolution and cathodic hydrogen evolution [9 37]

The assumption of physisorption can be confirmed bythe polarization measurement at temperature variations(Figure 2) Certainty is indicated by decreased inhibition effi-ciency with increasing temperature (Table 2) Physisorptionshowed the relatively weak dipoles interactions and couldcause desorption of BWP extract from the metal surface athigh temperature [1 5] Based on [38 39] IE decrease withincreasing temperature indicated that inhibitor moleculeswere physically adsorbed on metal surfaces Increasing oftemperature was likely initiated to stop the interaction andthe inhibition was not absorbed in the metal surface thatcaused decreases in inhibition efficiency

valuewith inhibitor is higher thanwithout inhibitor (Table 3)The higher energy activation means that reaction occursslowly and its corrosion rates are sensitive to temperature [2140] As a consequence the inhibition process of BWP extracton 304SS surface is difficult to occur at high temperature and

tends to cause desorption [21 41] Besides that the higher 119864119886

value with inhibitor also showed BWP extract inhibition on304SS corrosion reaction via adsorption [6 42 43] It is asso-ciated with increased passive layer formed on the corrosionprocess [44]The result of 119864

119886value is in good agreement with

those obtained from the potentiodynamic polarization andreinforces the physisorption on the 304SS surface by inhibitormolecule The relationships between IE temperature and119864119886value are classified into three groups [6 45 46]

Based on the result of Tables 2 and 3 the inhibitor in this study(ie BWP extract) was included in the first group

The responses of frequency of these equivalent circuitmodels (Figure 6(a)) depend on the value of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and diffusion resistance (W)That equivalentcircuit model used to fit the result of EIS measurement with

a representative of fitting example of Nyquist diagrams for304SS in 05MH

2SO4solution is shown in Figure 6(b)

Fitting of the experimental result from EIS to equivalentcircuit gave all parameters impedance that is summarized inTable 5

The 119877ct value indicates the amount of inhibition fromthe BWP extract addition [18 58] The diameter of capacitivecircle (Figure 6(a)) with inhibitor is larger than that withoutinhibitor where the largest diameter was obtained at theinhibitor concentration of 2000 ppmThe diameter of capac-itive circle which increased at inhibitor 2000 ppm indicatedthat BWP extract increased the charge transfer resistanceand gave an inhibition effect on the 304SS corrosion in05MH

2SO4[51] Increasing of the 119877ct value with inhibitor

addition of 2000 ppm gave a better performance to retardcorrosion because of the oxide layer formation [8 11 53]

The inhibition efficiency (IE) from this method reached9142 (Table 5) which is in a good agreement with thepotentiodynamic polarization method

35 Mechanism of Corrosion Inhibition Inhibitor can retardthe corrosion rate of metal in various ways one of them is viaadsorption process Adsorption retards the corrosion rate byincreasing or decreasing the reactant diffusion rate to surfacemetal and by reducing the electric resistance from the metalsurface [13 19] Based on the potentiodynamic polarizationmeasurement the IE decrease with increasing temperatureindicates that physisorption occurred on 304SS surface byinhibitormoleculeThe increasing of119877ct value and decreasingof CPE value also showed adsorption process The quercetin(Figure 7(a)) as main compound of the BWP extract hasactive sites in form of 119901 electron of O atom and 120587 bond of

The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) on Figure 8 showsthe presence of Fe

2O3and Cr

2O3 in testing solution either

without or with inhibitor addition There was a smoothsurface on metal surface to prevent the corrosion of 304SSthrough adsorption of the inhibitors on metal surface [2359] At solution without inhibitor actually the 304SS haspassive layer (in the form of Cr

2O3which contains Ni) that

directly contacts with the solution and caused concentrationof Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions to increase At this condition Fe is stillbeing protected by that passive layer Longer contact with thesolutionmay cause theCr3+ ion to decompose completely andFe will be oxidized [60] The testing solution with inhibitorshows that the presence of Fe

of 2120579 = 44482 and 75374 that was related to (minus4 0 0)and (6 2 2) planes respectively The intensity of Cr

peak in solution with inhibitor is lower than that withoutinhibitor This shows that Cr

2O3has dissolved more and

cannot protect the 304SS from the aggressiveness of sulfuricacid therefore the bigger Fe

2O3(5334) was formed That

Cr2O3passive layer is changed by a thin protective layer

as the result of inhibitor molecule adsorption on the 304SSsurface That thin protective layer is shown by the presenceof Fe-CHO peak at angle 2120579 = 42267 that was related to(1 1 1) plane At the interface of metalacid solution thedissolution of iron will produce Fe2+ ion such as explained by

Honey is a natural result that is processed by bees fromthe nectar of flower or plant parts However the price ofhoney is expensive and it is commonly used as the drugmakes it nonefficient as an inhibitor on an industrial scaleTherefore we use the bee wax propolis (BWP) extract asinhibitor in the present study The BWP is a waste ofhoneycomb and contains a compound similar to honey soit is possible to be used as a corrosion inhibitor The presentstudy is devoted to investigation of the inhibition efficiencyof the BWP extract for corrosion of 304SS in 05MH

2SO4

solution The corrosion measurement was performed by anelectrochemical methodThe influence of temperature on theinhibition efficiency and mechanism of inhibition and theformation of a passive layer will also be discussed

2 Materials and Methods

21 Sample Preparation Extraction and Inhibitor Character-istics The 304SS in the present study had chemical composi-tion (wt) 004 C 052 Si 092 Mn 0030 P 0002S 958 Ni 1815 Cr and bal Fe The 304SS specimenswith 02mm times 1 cm times 1 cm dimension were prepared forthe working electrode (WE) The WE was added to epoxyresin with a geometric exposed surface area measuring 1 cm2and connected to the electrolyte Before the experiment thespecimen surface was polished with emery paper of grades400 to 1200 consecutively

The BWP is used as honeycomb waste that had beensqueezed 3-4 times These wastes were usually in the formof wax and remaining of sticky honey The BWP wasextracted by liquid-liquid method in order to obtain theoptimum conditions The extract of BWP was characterizedby Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) andHigh Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) FTIRanalysis aims to determine the functional groups containedin the BWP extract FTIR spectra showed the characteristicwavenumber of flavonoids which were a carbonyl group(C=O ketone) at 171267 cmminus1 OH at 336748 cmminus1 andaromatic group at 164902 151402 and 146001 cmminus1 Iden-tification of the main compounds in the BWP extract wasfollowed by HPLC analysis The result of HPLC identifica-tion showed that quercetin (2-(34-dihydroxyphenyl)-357-trihydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one) was the greatest compoundin the BWP extract

22 Electrochemical Measurement Standard ASTM (Amer-ican Standard and Testing) G31 was the reference used inthis measurement [31] One batch contained 05M sulfuricacid solution in various concentrations of BWP extractThere were 7 batches with BWP extract composition asfollows 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 and 6000 ppmThe tests were carried out at room temperature (298K) Theoptimum concentration obtained from the measurement ofroom temperature was later tested at temperature variations(298 308 318 and 328K) Electrochemical measurementwas carried out at room temperature using an AutolabPGSTAT128N The optimum concentration of inhibitor wastested at temperature variations (298 308 318 and 328K)Specimens that have been prepared were then assembled into

an electrochemical cell with AgAgCl (3MKCl) as referenceelectrode (RE) and platinum as an auxiliary electrode (AE)and then immersed in a batch for 30 minutes The startingpotential was minus10 V and the scan rate range extended up+10V at Open Circuit Potential (OCP) with voltage scan rateof 0001 Vs Inhibition efficiency is calculated by [7 25 32]

where 119868corr and 119868corr(119894) are corrosion current density inmedium without and with the addition of inhibitors

TheElectrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)mea-surement was conducted in the range frequency from 1000to 1Hz with amplitude of 15mA peak-to-peak AC signalgalvanostatically at the OCP The working electrode wasimmersed in the test solution for 30 minutes to establishconstant signal at open circuit potential Inhibition efficiencyusing EIS method was formulated by [7 33]

where 119877ct dan 119877ct(119894) are the resistance of the charge transfermedium without and with the addition of inhibitors Theimpedance parameters were calculated by fitting the exper-imental result to equivalent circuit using NOVA 17 software

3 Results and Discussion

31 pH Measurement There were no significant changes inpH by the addition of various concentrations of inhibitorTheaverage pH value of the solution without inhibitor was 15with 3 replicationsThe presence of inhibitor (1000 2000 and3000 ppm) in solution gives the average pH value of 148 147and 144 respectively

32Potentiodynamic PolarizationMeasurements Data obtainedfrom polarization are used to analyze the adsorption mecha-nism [10]Thepolarization curves obtainedwere extrapolatedto calculate corrosion parameters such as 119868corr 119864corr 120573119886 and120573119888[19 24] Figures 1(a) and 1(b) show the Tafel plots for 304SS

in 05MH2SO4without and with various concentrations of

inhibitor and the representative of the extrapolation exampleof Tafel plot for 304SS in 05MH

The optimum IE was 9727 which was gained onthe addition of 2000 ppm (Table 1) These results indicatedthat the corrosion rate of 304SS can be inhibited effectivelywith the increase of concentration that reached 2000 ppmIncreasing of IE value is proportional to decreasing ofcurrent density Data obtained from polarization are usedto analyze the adsorption mechanism [24] At concentrationof 2000 ppm the smallest current density was produceddue to the uniform adsorption of inhibitor molecules onmetal surfaces Optimum inhibition efficiency obtained ata concentration of 2000 ppm and decreased with increasingconcentration of inhibitor was suspected physical adsorption

be irregular Irregularity of 120573119886and 120573

extract was a mixed inhibitor that modify the mechanism ofanodic dissolution and cathodic hydrogen evolution [9 37]

The assumption of physisorption can be confirmed bythe polarization measurement at temperature variations(Figure 2) Certainty is indicated by decreased inhibition effi-ciency with increasing temperature (Table 2) Physisorptionshowed the relatively weak dipoles interactions and couldcause desorption of BWP extract from the metal surface athigh temperature [1 5] Based on [38 39] IE decrease withincreasing temperature indicated that inhibitor moleculeswere physically adsorbed on metal surfaces Increasing oftemperature was likely initiated to stop the interaction andthe inhibition was not absorbed in the metal surface thatcaused decreases in inhibition efficiency

The effect of temperature towards the corrosion rate canbe expressed by Arrhenius equation (3) The Arrheniusequation associated with an activation energy (119864

the minimum energy needed for the reaction to occur Thevalue of119864

result between ln 119868corr and 1119879 (Figure 3) Calculation of 119864119886

valuewith inhibitor is higher thanwithout inhibitor (Table 3)The higher energy activation means that reaction occursslowly and its corrosion rates are sensitive to temperature [2140] As a consequence the inhibition process of BWP extracton 304SS surface is difficult to occur at high temperature and

tends to cause desorption [21 41] Besides that the higher 119864119886

value with inhibitor also showed BWP extract inhibition on304SS corrosion reaction via adsorption [6 42 43] It is asso-ciated with increased passive layer formed on the corrosionprocess [44]The result of 119864

119886value is in good agreement with

those obtained from the potentiodynamic polarization andreinforces the physisorption on the 304SS surface by inhibitormolecule The relationships between IE temperature and119864119886value are classified into three groups [6 45 46]

(1) IE decreases with increase of temperature 119864119886(solu-

tion with inhibitor) gt 119864119886(blank solution)

(2) IE increase with increase of temperature 119864119886(solu-

tion with inhibitor) lt 119864119886(blank solution)

(3) IE does not change with change of temperature 119864119886

(solution with inhibitor) = 119864119886(blank solution)

Based on the result of Tables 2 and 3 the inhibitor in this study(ie BWP extract) was included in the first group

33 Adsorption Isotherm of BWP Extract In general organicmolecules can inhibitmetal corrosion bymeans of adsorption[25] that occurs depending on the chemical compositionof molecule temperature and electrochemical potential onmetal or interface solutionmetal [22] Organic compoundsare mixed inhibitors that inhibit both the anodic and thecathodic reactions [9 18 22] Information of inhibitoradsorption on metal surface can be shown by adsorption iso-therm [5 7] The adsorption isotherm is based on potentio-dynamic polarization data The adsorption isotherm of thisstudywas calculatedwith some equations these are FrumkinLangmuir Temkin Freundlich Bockis-Swinkels and Flory-Huggins [47] The best fitted result of this study is obeyingthe Temkin adsorption isotherm equations (4) [11 48] whichis shown in Figure 4

where Δ119866∘ads is standard free energy of adsorption The valueof 555 is the concentration of water in solution expressedin mol Generally values of free energy of adsorption upto minus20 kJmol are consistent with electrostatic interactionbetween charged molecules and a charged metal (whichindicates physisorption) while those more negative thanminus40 kJmol involve charge sharing or transfer from theinhibitor molecules to the metal surface to form a coordinatetype of bond (which indicates chemisorption) [20 45] TheΔ119866∘

ads value in this study (Table 4) is characteristic for physi-sorption The negative values for Δ119866∘ads ensure the spontane-ity of the adsorption of BWP on 304SS surface [7 20 33]This result supports the fact that adsorption of BWP extract isphysisorption and that it is in a good agreement with theexplanation in Section 32

34 EIS Measurement The parameters obtained from themeasurement of EIS are the charge transfer resistance (119877ct)Warburg impedance (W) solution resistance (119877

119904) and con-

stant phase element (CPE) Figure 6(a) shows the Nyquistplots for 304SS in 05MH

2SO4solution without and with

inhibitorThe interaction betweenmetal surface and solutioncauses a charge transfer between both of them measured as119877ct [11]The semicircle of Nyquist plot (Figure 6(a)) indicatedthe characteristic of roughness and inhomogeneity electrodesurface [8 49 50] Moreover that semicircle in the highfrequency region is attributed to the time constant whichis related to both 119877ct and CPE [51] Warburg impedancewas showed by a straight-line in low frequency W indicatescorrosion reaction within diffusion control that may occurdue to the diffusion of reactive species [52] The equivalentcircuit model (Figure 6(a)) illustrates the general case of thefrequency response of an interface characterized by chargetransfer and diffusion process [51 53 54] In the general fre-quency the polarization resistance consists of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and another resistance such as diffuse layerresistance accumulated species at metalinterface solutionand inhibitor film resistance [55]TheCPE indicate a differentphysical phenomenon such as surface inhomogeneity fromsurface roughness inhibitor adsorption and formation oflayer [56 57]

The responses of frequency of these equivalent circuitmodels (Figure 6(a)) depend on the value of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and diffusion resistance (W)That equivalentcircuit model used to fit the result of EIS measurement with

Fitting of the experimental result from EIS to equivalentcircuit gave all parameters impedance that is summarized inTable 5

The 119877ct value indicates the amount of inhibition fromthe BWP extract addition [18 58] The diameter of capacitivecircle (Figure 6(a)) with inhibitor is larger than that withoutinhibitor where the largest diameter was obtained at theinhibitor concentration of 2000 ppmThe diameter of capac-itive circle which increased at inhibitor 2000 ppm indicatedthat BWP extract increased the charge transfer resistanceand gave an inhibition effect on the 304SS corrosion in05MH

2SO4[51] Increasing of the 119877ct value with inhibitor

addition of 2000 ppm gave a better performance to retardcorrosion because of the oxide layer formation [8 11 53]

The inhibition efficiency (IE) from this method reached9142 (Table 5) which is in a good agreement with thepotentiodynamic polarization method

35 Mechanism of Corrosion Inhibition Inhibitor can retardthe corrosion rate of metal in various ways one of them is viaadsorption process Adsorption retards the corrosion rate byincreasing or decreasing the reactant diffusion rate to surfacemetal and by reducing the electric resistance from the metalsurface [13 19] Based on the potentiodynamic polarizationmeasurement the IE decrease with increasing temperatureindicates that physisorption occurred on 304SS surface byinhibitormoleculeThe increasing of119877ct value and decreasingof CPE value also showed adsorption process The quercetin(Figure 7(a)) as main compound of the BWP extract hasactive sites in form of 119901 electron of O atom and 120587 bond of

directly contacts with the solution and caused concentrationof Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions to increase At this condition Fe is stillbeing protected by that passive layer Longer contact with thesolutionmay cause theCr3+ ion to decompose completely andFe will be oxidized [60] The testing solution with inhibitorshows that the presence of Fe

mechanism [35] When the inhibitor addition is more thanthe optimum concentration the solution will be saturatedThere is possibility for strong interaction between inhibitormolecules in the solution and inhibitor which was attachedin the surface of metal so that this layer will be releasedagain into solution [36] According to Table 1 anodic Tafelconstants (120573

119886) and cathodic Tafel constants (120573

be irregular Irregularity of 120573119886and 120573

119888showed that the BWP

extract was a mixed inhibitor that modify the mechanism ofanodic dissolution and cathodic hydrogen evolution [9 37]

The assumption of physisorption can be confirmed bythe polarization measurement at temperature variations(Figure 2) Certainty is indicated by decreased inhibition effi-ciency with increasing temperature (Table 2) Physisorptionshowed the relatively weak dipoles interactions and couldcause desorption of BWP extract from the metal surface athigh temperature [1 5] Based on [38 39] IE decrease withincreasing temperature indicated that inhibitor moleculeswere physically adsorbed on metal surfaces Increasing oftemperature was likely initiated to stop the interaction andthe inhibition was not absorbed in the metal surface thatcaused decreases in inhibition efficiency

The effect of temperature towards the corrosion rate canbe expressed by Arrhenius equation (3) The Arrheniusequation associated with an activation energy (119864

119886) which is

the minimum energy needed for the reaction to occur Thevalue of119864

119886can be obtained from the slope of linear regression

result between ln 119868corr and 1119879 (Figure 3) Calculation of 119864119886

valuewith inhibitor is higher thanwithout inhibitor (Table 3)The higher energy activation means that reaction occursslowly and its corrosion rates are sensitive to temperature [2140] As a consequence the inhibition process of BWP extracton 304SS surface is difficult to occur at high temperature and

tends to cause desorption [21 41] Besides that the higher 119864119886

value with inhibitor also showed BWP extract inhibition on304SS corrosion reaction via adsorption [6 42 43] It is asso-ciated with increased passive layer formed on the corrosionprocess [44]The result of 119864

119886value is in good agreement with

those obtained from the potentiodynamic polarization andreinforces the physisorption on the 304SS surface by inhibitormolecule The relationships between IE temperature and119864119886value are classified into three groups [6 45 46]

(1) IE decreases with increase of temperature 119864119886(solu-

tion with inhibitor) gt 119864119886(blank solution)

(2) IE increase with increase of temperature 119864119886(solu-

tion with inhibitor) lt 119864119886(blank solution)

(3) IE does not change with change of temperature 119864119886

(solution with inhibitor) = 119864119886(blank solution)

Based on the result of Tables 2 and 3 the inhibitor in this study(ie BWP extract) was included in the first group

33 Adsorption Isotherm of BWP Extract In general organicmolecules can inhibitmetal corrosion bymeans of adsorption[25] that occurs depending on the chemical compositionof molecule temperature and electrochemical potential onmetal or interface solutionmetal [22] Organic compoundsare mixed inhibitors that inhibit both the anodic and thecathodic reactions [9 18 22] Information of inhibitoradsorption on metal surface can be shown by adsorption iso-therm [5 7] The adsorption isotherm is based on potentio-dynamic polarization data The adsorption isotherm of thisstudywas calculatedwith some equations these are FrumkinLangmuir Temkin Freundlich Bockis-Swinkels and Flory-Huggins [47] The best fitted result of this study is obeyingthe Temkin adsorption isotherm equations (4) [11 48] whichis shown in Figure 4

where Δ119866∘ads is standard free energy of adsorption The valueof 555 is the concentration of water in solution expressedin mol Generally values of free energy of adsorption upto minus20 kJmol are consistent with electrostatic interactionbetween charged molecules and a charged metal (whichindicates physisorption) while those more negative thanminus40 kJmol involve charge sharing or transfer from theinhibitor molecules to the metal surface to form a coordinatetype of bond (which indicates chemisorption) [20 45] TheΔ119866∘

ads value in this study (Table 4) is characteristic for physi-sorption The negative values for Δ119866∘ads ensure the spontane-ity of the adsorption of BWP on 304SS surface [7 20 33]This result supports the fact that adsorption of BWP extract isphysisorption and that it is in a good agreement with theexplanation in Section 32

34 EIS Measurement The parameters obtained from themeasurement of EIS are the charge transfer resistance (119877ct)Warburg impedance (W) solution resistance (119877

119904) and con-

stant phase element (CPE) Figure 6(a) shows the Nyquistplots for 304SS in 05MH

2SO4solution without and with

inhibitorThe interaction betweenmetal surface and solutioncauses a charge transfer between both of them measured as119877ct [11]The semicircle of Nyquist plot (Figure 6(a)) indicatedthe characteristic of roughness and inhomogeneity electrodesurface [8 49 50] Moreover that semicircle in the highfrequency region is attributed to the time constant whichis related to both 119877ct and CPE [51] Warburg impedancewas showed by a straight-line in low frequency W indicatescorrosion reaction within diffusion control that may occurdue to the diffusion of reactive species [52] The equivalentcircuit model (Figure 6(a)) illustrates the general case of thefrequency response of an interface characterized by chargetransfer and diffusion process [51 53 54] In the general fre-quency the polarization resistance consists of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and another resistance such as diffuse layerresistance accumulated species at metalinterface solutionand inhibitor film resistance [55]TheCPE indicate a differentphysical phenomenon such as surface inhomogeneity fromsurface roughness inhibitor adsorption and formation oflayer [56 57]

The responses of frequency of these equivalent circuitmodels (Figure 6(a)) depend on the value of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and diffusion resistance (W)That equivalentcircuit model used to fit the result of EIS measurement with

Fitting of the experimental result from EIS to equivalentcircuit gave all parameters impedance that is summarized inTable 5

The 119877ct value indicates the amount of inhibition fromthe BWP extract addition [18 58] The diameter of capacitivecircle (Figure 6(a)) with inhibitor is larger than that withoutinhibitor where the largest diameter was obtained at theinhibitor concentration of 2000 ppmThe diameter of capac-itive circle which increased at inhibitor 2000 ppm indicatedthat BWP extract increased the charge transfer resistanceand gave an inhibition effect on the 304SS corrosion in05MH

2SO4[51] Increasing of the 119877ct value with inhibitor

addition of 2000 ppm gave a better performance to retardcorrosion because of the oxide layer formation [8 11 53]

The inhibition efficiency (IE) from this method reached9142 (Table 5) which is in a good agreement with thepotentiodynamic polarization method

35 Mechanism of Corrosion Inhibition Inhibitor can retardthe corrosion rate of metal in various ways one of them is viaadsorption process Adsorption retards the corrosion rate byincreasing or decreasing the reactant diffusion rate to surfacemetal and by reducing the electric resistance from the metalsurface [13 19] Based on the potentiodynamic polarizationmeasurement the IE decrease with increasing temperatureindicates that physisorption occurred on 304SS surface byinhibitormoleculeThe increasing of119877ct value and decreasingof CPE value also showed adsorption process The quercetin(Figure 7(a)) as main compound of the BWP extract hasactive sites in form of 119901 electron of O atom and 120587 bond of

without or with inhibitor addition There was a smoothsurface on metal surface to prevent the corrosion of 304SSthrough adsorption of the inhibitors on metal surface [2359] At solution without inhibitor actually the 304SS haspassive layer (in the form of Cr

2O3which contains Ni) that

directly contacts with the solution and caused concentrationof Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions to increase At this condition Fe is stillbeing protected by that passive layer Longer contact with thesolutionmay cause theCr3+ ion to decompose completely andFe will be oxidized [60] The testing solution with inhibitorshows that the presence of Fe

The effect of temperature towards the corrosion rate canbe expressed by Arrhenius equation (3) The Arrheniusequation associated with an activation energy (119864

119886) which is

the minimum energy needed for the reaction to occur Thevalue of119864

119886can be obtained from the slope of linear regression

result between ln 119868corr and 1119879 (Figure 3) Calculation of 119864119886

valuewith inhibitor is higher thanwithout inhibitor (Table 3)The higher energy activation means that reaction occursslowly and its corrosion rates are sensitive to temperature [2140] As a consequence the inhibition process of BWP extracton 304SS surface is difficult to occur at high temperature and

tends to cause desorption [21 41] Besides that the higher 119864119886

value with inhibitor also showed BWP extract inhibition on304SS corrosion reaction via adsorption [6 42 43] It is asso-ciated with increased passive layer formed on the corrosionprocess [44]The result of 119864

119886value is in good agreement with

those obtained from the potentiodynamic polarization andreinforces the physisorption on the 304SS surface by inhibitormolecule The relationships between IE temperature and119864119886value are classified into three groups [6 45 46]

(1) IE decreases with increase of temperature 119864119886(solu-

tion with inhibitor) gt 119864119886(blank solution)

(2) IE increase with increase of temperature 119864119886(solu-

tion with inhibitor) lt 119864119886(blank solution)

(3) IE does not change with change of temperature 119864119886

(solution with inhibitor) = 119864119886(blank solution)

Based on the result of Tables 2 and 3 the inhibitor in this study(ie BWP extract) was included in the first group

33 Adsorption Isotherm of BWP Extract In general organicmolecules can inhibitmetal corrosion bymeans of adsorption[25] that occurs depending on the chemical compositionof molecule temperature and electrochemical potential onmetal or interface solutionmetal [22] Organic compoundsare mixed inhibitors that inhibit both the anodic and thecathodic reactions [9 18 22] Information of inhibitoradsorption on metal surface can be shown by adsorption iso-therm [5 7] The adsorption isotherm is based on potentio-dynamic polarization data The adsorption isotherm of thisstudywas calculatedwith some equations these are FrumkinLangmuir Temkin Freundlich Bockis-Swinkels and Flory-Huggins [47] The best fitted result of this study is obeyingthe Temkin adsorption isotherm equations (4) [11 48] whichis shown in Figure 4

where Δ119866∘ads is standard free energy of adsorption The valueof 555 is the concentration of water in solution expressedin mol Generally values of free energy of adsorption upto minus20 kJmol are consistent with electrostatic interactionbetween charged molecules and a charged metal (whichindicates physisorption) while those more negative thanminus40 kJmol involve charge sharing or transfer from theinhibitor molecules to the metal surface to form a coordinatetype of bond (which indicates chemisorption) [20 45] TheΔ119866∘

ads value in this study (Table 4) is characteristic for physi-sorption The negative values for Δ119866∘ads ensure the spontane-ity of the adsorption of BWP on 304SS surface [7 20 33]This result supports the fact that adsorption of BWP extract isphysisorption and that it is in a good agreement with theexplanation in Section 32

34 EIS Measurement The parameters obtained from themeasurement of EIS are the charge transfer resistance (119877ct)Warburg impedance (W) solution resistance (119877

119904) and con-

stant phase element (CPE) Figure 6(a) shows the Nyquistplots for 304SS in 05MH

inhibitorThe interaction betweenmetal surface and solutioncauses a charge transfer between both of them measured as119877ct [11]The semicircle of Nyquist plot (Figure 6(a)) indicatedthe characteristic of roughness and inhomogeneity electrodesurface [8 49 50] Moreover that semicircle in the highfrequency region is attributed to the time constant whichis related to both 119877ct and CPE [51] Warburg impedancewas showed by a straight-line in low frequency W indicatescorrosion reaction within diffusion control that may occurdue to the diffusion of reactive species [52] The equivalentcircuit model (Figure 6(a)) illustrates the general case of thefrequency response of an interface characterized by chargetransfer and diffusion process [51 53 54] In the general fre-quency the polarization resistance consists of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and another resistance such as diffuse layerresistance accumulated species at metalinterface solutionand inhibitor film resistance [55]TheCPE indicate a differentphysical phenomenon such as surface inhomogeneity fromsurface roughness inhibitor adsorption and formation oflayer [56 57]

The responses of frequency of these equivalent circuitmodels (Figure 6(a)) depend on the value of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and diffusion resistance (W)That equivalentcircuit model used to fit the result of EIS measurement with

Fitting of the experimental result from EIS to equivalentcircuit gave all parameters impedance that is summarized inTable 5

The 119877ct value indicates the amount of inhibition fromthe BWP extract addition [18 58] The diameter of capacitivecircle (Figure 6(a)) with inhibitor is larger than that withoutinhibitor where the largest diameter was obtained at theinhibitor concentration of 2000 ppmThe diameter of capac-itive circle which increased at inhibitor 2000 ppm indicatedthat BWP extract increased the charge transfer resistanceand gave an inhibition effect on the 304SS corrosion in05MH

2SO4[51] Increasing of the 119877ct value with inhibitor

addition of 2000 ppm gave a better performance to retardcorrosion because of the oxide layer formation [8 11 53]

The inhibition efficiency (IE) from this method reached9142 (Table 5) which is in a good agreement with thepotentiodynamic polarization method

35 Mechanism of Corrosion Inhibition Inhibitor can retardthe corrosion rate of metal in various ways one of them is viaadsorption process Adsorption retards the corrosion rate byincreasing or decreasing the reactant diffusion rate to surfacemetal and by reducing the electric resistance from the metalsurface [13 19] Based on the potentiodynamic polarizationmeasurement the IE decrease with increasing temperatureindicates that physisorption occurred on 304SS surface byinhibitormoleculeThe increasing of119877ct value and decreasingof CPE value also showed adsorption process The quercetin(Figure 7(a)) as main compound of the BWP extract hasactive sites in form of 119901 electron of O atom and 120587 bond of

The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) on Figure 8 showsthe presence of Fe

2O3 in testing solution either

without or with inhibitor addition There was a smoothsurface on metal surface to prevent the corrosion of 304SSthrough adsorption of the inhibitors on metal surface [2359] At solution without inhibitor actually the 304SS haspassive layer (in the form of Cr

2O3which contains Ni) that

directly contacts with the solution and caused concentrationof Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions to increase At this condition Fe is stillbeing protected by that passive layer Longer contact with thesolutionmay cause theCr3+ ion to decompose completely andFe will be oxidized [60] The testing solution with inhibitorshows that the presence of Fe

2O3has dissolved more and

cannot protect the 304SS from the aggressiveness of sulfuricacid therefore the bigger Fe

2O3(5334) was formed That

Cr2O3passive layer is changed by a thin protective layer

as the result of inhibitor molecule adsorption on the 304SSsurface That thin protective layer is shown by the presenceof Fe-CHO peak at angle 2120579 = 42267 that was related to(1 1 1) plane At the interface of metalacid solution thedissolution of iron will produce Fe2+ ion such as explained by

where Δ119866∘ads is standard free energy of adsorption The valueof 555 is the concentration of water in solution expressedin mol Generally values of free energy of adsorption upto minus20 kJmol are consistent with electrostatic interactionbetween charged molecules and a charged metal (whichindicates physisorption) while those more negative thanminus40 kJmol involve charge sharing or transfer from theinhibitor molecules to the metal surface to form a coordinatetype of bond (which indicates chemisorption) [20 45] TheΔ119866∘

ads value in this study (Table 4) is characteristic for physi-sorption The negative values for Δ119866∘ads ensure the spontane-ity of the adsorption of BWP on 304SS surface [7 20 33]This result supports the fact that adsorption of BWP extract isphysisorption and that it is in a good agreement with theexplanation in Section 32

34 EIS Measurement The parameters obtained from themeasurement of EIS are the charge transfer resistance (119877ct)Warburg impedance (W) solution resistance (119877

119904) and con-

stant phase element (CPE) Figure 6(a) shows the Nyquistplots for 304SS in 05MH

2SO4solution without and with

inhibitorThe interaction betweenmetal surface and solutioncauses a charge transfer between both of them measured as119877ct [11]The semicircle of Nyquist plot (Figure 6(a)) indicatedthe characteristic of roughness and inhomogeneity electrodesurface [8 49 50] Moreover that semicircle in the highfrequency region is attributed to the time constant whichis related to both 119877ct and CPE [51] Warburg impedancewas showed by a straight-line in low frequency W indicatescorrosion reaction within diffusion control that may occurdue to the diffusion of reactive species [52] The equivalentcircuit model (Figure 6(a)) illustrates the general case of thefrequency response of an interface characterized by chargetransfer and diffusion process [51 53 54] In the general fre-quency the polarization resistance consists of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and another resistance such as diffuse layerresistance accumulated species at metalinterface solutionand inhibitor film resistance [55]TheCPE indicate a differentphysical phenomenon such as surface inhomogeneity fromsurface roughness inhibitor adsorption and formation oflayer [56 57]

The responses of frequency of these equivalent circuitmodels (Figure 6(a)) depend on the value of charge transferresistance (119877ct) and diffusion resistance (W)That equivalentcircuit model used to fit the result of EIS measurement with

2SO4solution is shown in Figure 6(b)

Fitting of the experimental result from EIS to equivalentcircuit gave all parameters impedance that is summarized inTable 5

The 119877ct value indicates the amount of inhibition fromthe BWP extract addition [18 58] The diameter of capacitivecircle (Figure 6(a)) with inhibitor is larger than that withoutinhibitor where the largest diameter was obtained at theinhibitor concentration of 2000 ppmThe diameter of capac-itive circle which increased at inhibitor 2000 ppm indicatedthat BWP extract increased the charge transfer resistanceand gave an inhibition effect on the 304SS corrosion in05MH

2SO4[51] Increasing of the 119877ct value with inhibitor

addition of 2000 ppm gave a better performance to retardcorrosion because of the oxide layer formation [8 11 53]

The inhibition efficiency (IE) from this method reached9142 (Table 5) which is in a good agreement with thepotentiodynamic polarization method

35 Mechanism of Corrosion Inhibition Inhibitor can retardthe corrosion rate of metal in various ways one of them is viaadsorption process Adsorption retards the corrosion rate byincreasing or decreasing the reactant diffusion rate to surfacemetal and by reducing the electric resistance from the metalsurface [13 19] Based on the potentiodynamic polarizationmeasurement the IE decrease with increasing temperatureindicates that physisorption occurred on 304SS surface byinhibitormoleculeThe increasing of119877ct value and decreasingof CPE value also showed adsorption process The quercetin(Figure 7(a)) as main compound of the BWP extract hasactive sites in form of 119901 electron of O atom and 120587 bond of

The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) on Figure 8 showsthe presence of Fe

2O3and Cr

2O3 in testing solution either

without or with inhibitor addition There was a smoothsurface on metal surface to prevent the corrosion of 304SSthrough adsorption of the inhibitors on metal surface [2359] At solution without inhibitor actually the 304SS haspassive layer (in the form of Cr

2O3which contains Ni) that

directly contacts with the solution and caused concentrationof Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions to increase At this condition Fe is stillbeing protected by that passive layer Longer contact with thesolutionmay cause theCr3+ ion to decompose completely andFe will be oxidized [60] The testing solution with inhibitorshows that the presence of Fe

of 2120579 = 44482 and 75374 that was related to (minus4 0 0)and (6 2 2) planes respectively The intensity of Cr

peak in solution with inhibitor is lower than that withoutinhibitor This shows that Cr

2O3has dissolved more and

cannot protect the 304SS from the aggressiveness of sulfuricacid therefore the bigger Fe

2O3(5334) was formed That

Cr2O3passive layer is changed by a thin protective layer

as the result of inhibitor molecule adsorption on the 304SSsurface That thin protective layer is shown by the presenceof Fe-CHO peak at angle 2120579 = 42267 that was related to(1 1 1) plane At the interface of metalacid solution thedissolution of iron will produce Fe2+ ion such as explained by

a representative of fitting example of Nyquist diagrams for304SS in 05MH

2SO4solution is shown in Figure 6(b)

Fitting of the experimental result from EIS to equivalentcircuit gave all parameters impedance that is summarized inTable 5

The 119877ct value indicates the amount of inhibition fromthe BWP extract addition [18 58] The diameter of capacitivecircle (Figure 6(a)) with inhibitor is larger than that withoutinhibitor where the largest diameter was obtained at theinhibitor concentration of 2000 ppmThe diameter of capac-itive circle which increased at inhibitor 2000 ppm indicatedthat BWP extract increased the charge transfer resistanceand gave an inhibition effect on the 304SS corrosion in05MH

2SO4[51] Increasing of the 119877ct value with inhibitor

addition of 2000 ppm gave a better performance to retardcorrosion because of the oxide layer formation [8 11 53]

The inhibition efficiency (IE) from this method reached9142 (Table 5) which is in a good agreement with thepotentiodynamic polarization method

35 Mechanism of Corrosion Inhibition Inhibitor can retardthe corrosion rate of metal in various ways one of them is viaadsorption process Adsorption retards the corrosion rate byincreasing or decreasing the reactant diffusion rate to surfacemetal and by reducing the electric resistance from the metalsurface [13 19] Based on the potentiodynamic polarizationmeasurement the IE decrease with increasing temperatureindicates that physisorption occurred on 304SS surface byinhibitormoleculeThe increasing of119877ct value and decreasingof CPE value also showed adsorption process The quercetin(Figure 7(a)) as main compound of the BWP extract hasactive sites in form of 119901 electron of O atom and 120587 bond of

The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) on Figure 8 showsthe presence of Fe

2O3and Cr

2O3 in testing solution either

without or with inhibitor addition There was a smoothsurface on metal surface to prevent the corrosion of 304SSthrough adsorption of the inhibitors on metal surface [2359] At solution without inhibitor actually the 304SS haspassive layer (in the form of Cr

2O3which contains Ni) that

directly contacts with the solution and caused concentrationof Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions to increase At this condition Fe is stillbeing protected by that passive layer Longer contact with thesolutionmay cause theCr3+ ion to decompose completely andFe will be oxidized [60] The testing solution with inhibitorshows that the presence of Fe

of 2120579 = 44482 and 75374 that was related to (minus4 0 0)and (6 2 2) planes respectively The intensity of Cr

peak in solution with inhibitor is lower than that withoutinhibitor This shows that Cr

2O3has dissolved more and

cannot protect the 304SS from the aggressiveness of sulfuricacid therefore the bigger Fe

2O3(5334) was formed That

Cr2O3passive layer is changed by a thin protective layer

as the result of inhibitor molecule adsorption on the 304SSsurface That thin protective layer is shown by the presenceof Fe-CHO peak at angle 2120579 = 42267 that was related to(1 1 1) plane At the interface of metalacid solution thedissolution of iron will produce Fe2+ ion such as explained by

The results of investigation have shown that BWP extractact as good corrosion inhibitor for 304SS in 05M sulfuricacid Similar results were obtained using honey derivativeas inhibitor in corrosion investigation on carbon steel [15]copper [24] aluminium [25] and CuNiFe [34] alloy in saltenvironment Moreover other investigations reported thatthe synergistic effect between honey and black radish juiceincreased the inhibition efficiency on corrosion of tin in aque-ous and sodium chloride [16] The observation that we con-ducted in the present study was in sulfuric acid solutionwhich makes it different to investigations There were differ-ences of inhibition efficiency due to the chemical compositionof honey derivatives The comparisons of the investigationsresult were listed in Table 6

4 Conclusions

(1) The extract of bee wax propolis (BWP) acts as goodinhibitor for corrosion process of 304SS in 05Msulfuric acid solution

(2) The optimum inhibition efficiency is 9729 and9142 at 2000 ppm using potentiodynamic polariza-tion and EIS measurement respectively

(3) The effect of temperature revealed physisorption forthe inhibition properties of the BWP extract and itobeyed Temkin adsorption isotherm

(4) Calculation of the Δ119866∘ads value (minus2044 kJmol) alsosupports the case of physisorption by BWP extract onthe 304SS surface

(5) A thin protective layer formedwas confirmed byXRDanalysis where there is the presence of Fe-CHO peakin the solution with inhibitor addition
