Randomized trial evaluates Datura stramonium leaf extract's corrosion inhibition in mild steel, suggesting it as a sustainable alternative.

The aim is to assess the effectiveness of Datura stramonium leaf extract as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in hydrochloric acid.
Tested Datura stramonium leaf extract concentrations up to 500 ppm in 1 M HCl.
Conducted electrochemical measurements and thermodynamic analyses at varying temperatures (303, 313, 323 K).
Analyzed adsorption isotherm to determine the mechanism of inhibition.
Inhibition efficiency peaked at 96.7% at 500 ppm and 303 K.
Inhibition rates were 91.8% at 303 K, 73.2% at 313 K, and 53.9% at 323 K.
Langmuir isotherm showed strong fit (R^2 = 0.993—0.999), indicating effective monolayer adsorption.
