Abstract

The paper presents an examination of the possibility of applying raspberry flower extract (Rubus idaeus L.) as a green inhibitor of general corrosion of copper in 3% NaCl. Raspberry flowers (Rubus idaeus L.) sort Polka were collected from the Moševac near Maglaj city, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Raspberry flower extract in ethanol was obtained by ultrasonic extraction. A significant content of polyphenol was found in the raspberry flower extract by UV/VIS spectrophotometry analysis. Results obtained by DC techniques (by the methods of Tafel extrapolation, potentiodynamic polarization and linear polarization) prove that the corrosion rate decreases in the presence of the raspberry flower extract. Tests performed by the method of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy prove that the tested extracts slow down the kinetics of the corrosion process, which is visible through the increase in resistance. The results of the conducted tests prove that in an aggressive medium, such as 3% NaCl solution, Polka raspberry flower extract can be used as an inhibitor of copper's corrosion.
