The effect of aqueous extract of three natural plants called: Tribulus Terrestris (TTAE) (Inh. 1), Vachellia Nilotica
(VNAE) (Inh. 2) and Cymbopogeon Schoenanthus (CSAE) (Inh. 3) as inhibitors of mild steel corrosion in 1.0N
H2SO4 acid solution at 30°C was investigated using weight loss (WL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)
and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). The results showed that the three inhibitors worked well to inhibit the
corrosion of mild steel in 1.0N H2SO4 acid, depending on the following order: TTAE> VNAE>CSAE. The addition
of increasing amount of the studied inhibitors inhibit the corrosion rate of mild steel and maximum inhibition
efficiency of 91.37%, 88.51%, and 87.14% respectively was obtained at 2.0 g/L-1. Different adsorption isotherm models
were tested and Langmuir adsorption isotherm showed best fit with the parameters. The inhibition mechanism was
discussed based on adsorption on mild steel surface from 1.0N H2SO4 acid solution. The analysis of FTIR spectra
established the formation of a strong bond between inhibitors species and mild steel surface.
