The Electropolishing of C-Steel in Orthophosphoric Acid Containing Methanolic Plant Extract

Plant extracts have been regarded as “green” alternatives as additives for metal electropolishing improvement. ,erefore, understanding the electrochemical properties and the reactionmechanisms of the electroactive compounds from the plant extracts is necessary to further explore the mechanism and application of the plant extract-based additives for metal dissolution. ,e C-steel electropolishing behavior in orthophosphoric acid using the galvanostatic polarization and weight loss methods was ascertained. ,is was inspected via anode potential-limiting current relationship measurement and comparison in a solution of regularly mounting concentrations (from 50 to 1800 ppm of methanolic marjoram, coriander seeds, chamomile, and guava leaves extract), and the influence of temperature on the dissolution kinetics was investigated. Surface morphologies, roughness, and reflection of investigated specimens were inspected with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), profilometry, and Vis-IR spectroscopy. Addition of methanolic plant extract to the electropolishing solution results in a lower limiting current. Retardation percentage gained from mass loss measurement is comparable with those obtained from measurements of galvanostatic polarization. Addition of 500 ppm of marjoram, coriander, chamomile, and guava leaves increases the degree of surface brightness and reflectance to 64.9, 56.59, 27, and 24.5, respectively, relative to electropolishing electrolyte-free solution 16. ,e roughness (Ra) decreased from 2.7 μm to 0.52 μm without addition of any material. Ra values are 0.28, 0.23, 0.21, and 0.17 μm in the presence of guava leaves, chamomile, coriander seeds, and marjoram.


Introduction
e electropolishing (EP) method is an extremely proficient process for brightening and cleaning of metals and alloys. It has obtained great consideration owing to its realistic and educational curiosity. EP is achieved via metal surface anodic dissolution controlled in an appropriate electrolyte and can improve planarization efficacy of the metal surface [1,2], where the peaks and valleys depth differences are reduced [3,4]. It classically arises at the limiting current of mass transfer process, where the surface of metal becomes silky and even where the peaks and valleys depth differences are reduced [3,4]. It classically arises at the limiting current of the mass transfer process, where the surface of metal becomes silky and even. Concurrently, throughout EP, several etched pits and defects over the metal surface can be formed owing to oxygen gases evolution adjoining to the anode surface at a potential elevated than the limiting current plateau [5,6]. To reduce the incidence of surface defects formed on C-steel during EP, different additives were added to the polishing bath. e progression is controlled via diffusion, dependent on the concentration incline forming a discriminating electrochemical dissolution and enhancing steel planarization efficiency, where the peaks and valleys depth variations are removed [7]. It characteristically happens at the limiting current of mass transfer at extreme anodic potential, since the metal surface is leveled. Concurrently, throughout the EP process, some blemishes and depths above the metal surface can be shaped owing to oxygen gas evolution greatly nearby to the surface at elevated electric potential [8,9]. e polishing efficiency depends on the rate of Fe 2+ ions mass transfer from the diffusion layer to solution bulk determined via the limiting current value. e mass transfer rate is a function of the relative ionic mobility, anode geometry, temperature, and electrolyte physical properties. Also, the concentration of the polishing bath electrolyte was examined [8].
C-steel is extensively used in all kinds of industry as an important construction material, and corrosion of C-steel is known to occur specially in acidic environment such as the cleaning, picking, oil well acidification, and descaling process. It is a major task to control the C-steel corrosion for both corrosion scientists and material technologists. e employment of plant parts extractions for the embarrassment of the metal dissolution has some advantages over the use of some organic/inorganic inhibitors because they are nontoxic, cheap, and environmentally friendly. Consequently the goal of this research is to inspect the C-steel dissolution performance in the presence of methanolic plant extract which is a low -cost material, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly. e investigated compounds are of interest because of their safe use, also containing electronegative atoms such as O in their molecules, and being relatively cheap and biodegradable.

Solution Preparation. 8M H 3 PO 4 was prepared via
analytical-grade H 3 PO 4 (85% w/w) dilution with double distilled water with a measured resistivity > 18 MΩ/cm. Preparation of the natural products was by methanol. All chemicals were supplied by BDH Chemicals Ltd. All experiments were performed in 8 M H 3 PO 4 -free solution and 8 M H 3 PO 4 containing several concentrations of natural compounds (50-1800 ppm).

Methanolic Plant Extracts Preparation.
Marjoram, coriander seeds, chamomile, and guava leaves were purchased from the local market, washed with distilled water, air dried, and separately grounded into a powder using a blender. 25 g of the powdered samples was soaked in 500 ml methanol for one week at room temperature. e mixtures were filtered to obtain sample extracts. is stock plant extract was kept in a refrigerator. e stock solution concentration was determined by evaporating a known volume of the filtrates to eliminate the methanol totally and weighing the residue.

Electrochemical Measurements.
e cell used consists of a rectangular plexiglass container with a base of 15 × 5 and a height of 10 cm with carbon steel sheets electrodes of 10 cm height and 5 cm width. Electrode separation was 15 cm. 6 V D.C. power supply, a high impedance voltammeter,a variable resistance, and a multirange ammeter were connected in series with the cell as the electrical circuit. e temperature was adjusted via placing the cell in a thermostatic water bath at several temperatures, (20, 30, 40, and 50°C) ± 0.5°C.

Chemical
Measurements. C-steel specimens used in mass loss procedures were mechanically cut into 2 × 2 × 0.3 cm 3 pieces, then abraded with 180, 320, 800, and 1200 grades of emery papers, washed using deionized water, degreased with ethanol, and dried. e specimens were weighed before and after electropolishing galvanostatic measurements. Trials were performed in triplicate for reproducibility.

Surface Characterization
e analysis by using a SEM (JEOL JSM-5300 Scanning Electron Microscope.) was carried out on the surface of C-steel samples with and without the optimum concentration of plant extract.

Profilometer Measurements.
e quantitative surface roughness (R a ) was measured via stylus profilometers (Talysurf i60). e long cutoff wavelength sampling was 0.25 mm, while the short cutoff wavelength was 0.025 mm, respectively. e evaluation length was 5 mm (five sampling lengths). Approximately 150 measuring lines were used, and thus, the mean R a values could be obtained.

Reflectance Measurements.
A Shimadzu UV-3101 PC Spectrophotometer (UV-VIS-NIR) was used to gain specimens' reflection spectra in the range of 300-1500 nm. e spectra were measured in the range of 400-4000 cm −1 .

Gas
Chromatography. GC analysis was carried out using a Gas Hewlett Packard HP-5890 series II with split/ split less injector and capillary column (30 m, 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm) fused with phenyl polysilphenylene siloxane. e injector and detector temperatures were set at 280 and 300°C, respectively, and the oven temperature was kept at 80°C for 1 min, which rose to 300°C at 20°C/min. Helium was used as carrier gas at a constant flow of 1.0 ml/min. A volume of 2 μl was injected in the splitless mode, and the purge time was 1 min.
e MS (Hewlett-Packard 5889 BMS Engine) with selected ion monitoring (SIM) was used; the mass spectrometer was operated at 70 eV and scanned fragments from 50 to 650 m/z.

Identification of Components.
e methodology carried out for identification of individual components of plant extract was based on chromatographic retention indices and by comparing the obtained mass spectra with those available in the NIST library. e comparison between the absorbance bands observed by the FTIR spectra of four plant extracts before and after EP is shown in Figure 1. ese absorbance bands sometimes appear, disappear, or shift after EP to indicate the formation of a C-steel plant extract complex or salt.

Results and Discussion
(1) Obviously in marjoram, a strong and broad peak of -OH stretching are observed at 3411.62 cm −1 before EP and are also observed at 3409.83 cm −1 after EP. e stretching peak of -C-H is shifted from 2934.31 to 2396.40 cm −1 . e stretching peak of C�C is shifted from 1607.82 cm −1 to 1636.54 cm −1 .
e stretching peak of C-O shifted from 1071.04 cm −1 to 1023.81 cm −1 . Also, the bending peak of -C-H shifted from 776.70 cm −1 to 503.89 and 420. 22  e presence and shifted stretching peaks of the functional groups confirm the formation of active compound -Fe 2+ complex on the metal surface. Hence, the FTIR spectra show that there is an interaction between the extract and the C-steel substrate which resulted in the retardation effect [10]. Fe-plant extract may be as a stable complex adsorbed over the metal surface resulting in retardation influence, or it may be as a soluble complex leading to a catalytic effect. In systems that contain different chemical species, there is a possibility to form both of these two types of complexes. erefore, the effect of plant extract on the steel dissolution behavior in 8 M H 3 PO 4 could be interpreted on the basis of two aspects: the retardation influence of the stable complex and other catalytic effect of soluble metal complex. It appears that the retardation influence of the adsorbed metal complex is firstly predominant until a significant concentration where a certain leveling off value of their retardation efficiency is reached. On further increase of the amount of the plant extract, the accelerating effect of other soluble species appears, resulting in a decrease of the maximum retardation efficiency [11]

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
Analysis. In the present investigation, 10 organic compounds from marjoram, coriander, chamomile, and guava leaves were identified through GC-MS analysis; Figure 3. e molecular formula, molecular weight, retention time (RT), and probability percentage are presented in Table 1

Leveling
Process. An atypical polarization curve is obtained for an electrolyte consisting of H 3 PO 4 of concentrations ranged from 6 M to 14 M. Figure 4 is divided into three parts which are electrolytic etching, polishing, and (O 2 ) evolution that occurred consequently with the metal dissolution process e influence of H 3 PO 4 concentration on the value of I L can be explicated based on the mass transfer equation [12,13].
I L � limiting current (A); Z � working area (cm 2 ); n � charge of the ion involved; F � Faraday constant (A.s·mol −1 ); D � diffusion coefficient of the rate-limiting species (cm 2 ·s −1 ); C Fe +3 � saturation concentration of iron (mol. L− 1 ) of metal ions (Fe +3 ) in the solution for the salt film mechanism or bulk C of the acceptor species for acceptor mechanism; and d � thickness of the Nernst diffusion layer (cm).
Increasing orthophoshoric acid concentration leads to decreas in the saturation solubility of FePO 4 , increase in viscosity (μ) of the solution (which leads to reduce Fe 3+ ions diffusivity (D) consistent with the Stokes-Einstein equation  (Figure 4), when current passes across the electrolyte, the anode surface is coated with a thick film. is layer has elevated viscosity and electrical resistivity than the solution bulk. e layer breadth vary from spot to spot: over projections, the layer is thinner than over the valleys. erefore, climaxes dissolve first followed by valleys. Also, the metal salt out diffusion is slow in comparison with that over a peak. e nonuniform current density metal from projections dissolves more rapidly than from crevices which results in a surface leveling influence.
us, I L behavior is due to the fact that the dissolution is under mass transport control [14], in which reaction products diffusion is limited and is, in turn, determining the overall reaction rate. e salt-film precipitated mechanism involves rate-limiting diffusion of cations of the dissolving metal from the anode into the bulk [15]. At I L , a skinny salt film with a saturated concentration of the metallic cation is present on the anode surface and limits the rate at which metal ions depart the surface. e curves showed the typical I-V uniqueness for EP, where three regions corresponding to pitting, polishing, and gas evolution on the anode surface were identified depending upon the potential applied. Initially, the current linearly increased from the starting of the potential scan and reaches a plateau. is action is dictated by the ohmic resistance in the electrolyte. At higher potential, the fluctuation of both current and potential found, and over the horizontal range, the current remains constant although the potential amplifies.
Anodic dissolution of C-steel in H 3 PO 4 shows a limiting current plateau. In the potential range below I L , C-steel dissolution occupies concurrent Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ formation, Fe 3+ formation amount becoming significant at superior potential. In the potential range corresponding to the limiting current plateau, C-steel dissolution results in Fe 3+ formation only. At potentials elevated than I L , O 2 evolution at C-steel anode dissolution will appear.

Electropolishing of C-Steel in H 3 PO 4 with Natural
Products. Figure 5 Demonstrates polarization curves for C-steel anodic dissolution in H 3 PO 4 containing various concentrations of marjoram, coriander seeds, chamomile, and guava leaves methanolic extract, respectively. e current was plotted against the applied potential, and the linear portion, an extrapolation of the dissolution potential, gives the limiting current (I L ). I L values are given in Table 2.
Appearance of a limiting current plateau in the solution containing several extract concentrations shows that the extracts do not alter the diffusion-controlled mechanism for iron dissolution to a charge transfer mechanism. However, the plant extracts affect the I L by diverse extent reflecting their retardation influence which is dependant on the plant extract type.
If  Journal of Chemistry e anodic dissolution rate I L values and percentage inhibition efficiency (%IE) for the studied plant extract at a concentration range from 50 to 1800 and temperature range of 25-55°C with an increment of 10°C are given in Table 2. Table 2 shows that %IE increases as the studied methanolic extracts increase and temperature decreases (except guava leaves). e %IE of different methanolic extracts could be arranged in the order as follows: Marjoram > Coriander > Chamomile > Guava leaves. e order imitates the significant function played via the molecular size and the substituent group, as well as functional adsorption atom type, in the retardation processes. e retardation efficiency of the studied plant extracts was found to be increasing from 50-1800 ppm extract  concentration. A maximum of chamomile and guava leaves %IE has been exhibited at 1200 ppm. However, it is observed that the behavior is there after overturned with augment in the chamomile and guava leaves concentration (at 1500 and 1800 ppm). ey have an optimum concentration (1200) after which I L increases and %IE decreases. e increase in %IE could be featured to the chemical ingredients adsorption of methanolic extracts of the studied natural products. e effect of chamomile and guava leaves on the anodic dissolution behavior of C-steel in 8 M H 3 PO 4 could be interpreted on the basis of two aspects: (1) e retardation effect of the stable metal complex adsorbed over the metal surface (2) Catalytic effect of the soluble metal complex Since chamomile and guava leaves extracts are rich in compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins, there is an opportunity to form both the complexes types. Consequently, their retardation influence could be explained on the basis of the two factors. It seems that inhibitive effect of the adsorbed metal complex is firstly major until optimum concentration where a confident leveling-off value of their retardation is reached. After a certain period, on further increasing the plant extract amount, the accelerating effect of soluble metal complexes appears, leading to diminishing of the greatest retardation efficiency as in the case of chamomile and guava leaves [11,16,17]. On additional examination of Table 2, it is monitored that methanolic extract of marjoram leads to decrease in the anodic dissolution rate (I L values) of C-steel and increase in the value of %IE up to 1800 ppm. e dissolution retardation can be featured to the main component adsorption of marjoram (cis-and tarns-sabiene hydrate, thymol, and ethyl eugenal) on the C-steel surface. Due to the extract complex chemical composition, it is relatively tricky to allocate the retardation influence to a scrupulous component. However, communal influences of these constituent and others present in the extract cannot be ruled out.
e structures of the compounds in Table 1 show that there is an abundance of O-H, C�O, C-O, and -CH 3 along with aromatic rings. is reality has been proved through the corresponding peaks in the FTIR (Figure 1). erefore, it is reasonable to declare that the marjoram extract efficacy against C-steel dissolution belongs to the successful chemical constituent adsorption [18].
Methanolic extract of coriander seeds is composed of numerous naturally occurring compounds which may react with the iron, first dissolved from the metal surface, forming an organometal complex such as Fe-plant extract [Fe-PE] according to the following mechanism [19] Fe ⟶ Fe 2+ + 2e Fe 2+ + plant extract ⟶ [Fe-plant extract] 2+ e principal active component of methanolic extract is reported to be linalool, and its structure is given in Table 1.
e inhibition of methanolic extract of coriander seeds is primarily accredited to the linalool presence and other organic compounds (cumin aldehyde, cumin alcohol, eugenol, 3-allyl-6-methoxy phenol, and cryophllene oxide) in the extract.
us, methanolic extract gets adsorbed on the C-steel surface, and a protective film is formed. is phenomenon might occur through the dipole interaction type between unshared electron pairs of oxygen atom or π-electrons (the extract aromatic ring constituents which considered a wealthy electron source) with the vacant, low energy d-orbitals of iron surface atom. Consistent with the literature molecule with OH groups, complexes with divalent ions may be willingly formed [20][21][22].

Electropolishing Rate Calculation.
e electropolishing rate was computed according to the following equation: where W before EP is the weight of the test specimen before electropolishing and after surface preparation and W after EP is the weight after electropolishing. Area: 2 cm × 2 cm), and time is the electro-polishing time in seconds. e electropolishing rate (EP rate) reduced with an augment in the methanolic extract concentration. Electropolishing rate measurements ( Figure 6) confirmed the data obtained from potentiodynamic measurements, where addition of methanolic plant extract retards the dissolution rate and the retardation behavior amplifies via mounting methanolic plant extract concentration [23].

Kinetic Point of View for the Electropolishing Process.
In the present study of C-steel electropolishing in H 3 PO 4 solutions, weight difference in the presence of different methanolic plant extracts at time t is elected, ΔW. When log W was plotted against time (in min), a linear variation was observed with high correlation coefficient for marjoram, coriander, and chamomile except guava leaves, which corroborates a first-order reaction kinetics with respect to C-steel in H 3 PO 4 solutions in the presence of marjoram, coriander, and chamomile. e first-order reaction kinetics equation is formulated as follows: where ΔW o is the weight difference in the H 3 PO 4 -free solution, k is the rate constant, and t is the time. e rate constants, k values, obtained from the slopes of the plots in Figure 7 are presented in Table 3. e results obtained reveal that the rate constant reduces with augment in plant extract concentration, and the halflife values, t ½ (Table 3), of the metal in the test solutions were calculated using the following equation: e half-life values were observed to rise with amplification in the concentration of the methanolic plant extract, demonstrating diminishing in the metal dissolution rate in the solutions with increase in the methanolic plant extract concentration [24]. Also, the rate constant values and the half-life values, t ½ , confirmed the result obtained from the   3.6. Temperature Influence. e temperature was found to be an extremely significant parameter for electropolishing. e limiting current augments via mounting of temperature from 25°to 55°C are demonstrated in Table 2 and Figure 8. e current increase with temperature risingis in conformity with the authors' observations [24]. is result may be related to equation (1) for the limiting current value. e temperature increase leads to amplification of the diffusion coefficient, D, of the rate limiting species values. e temperature is a function of D according to equation (5).
where D o is the temperature-independent pre-exponential, Qd � activation energy for diffusion, and R is the gas constant (8.314 J·K −1 mol −1 ). e current variation with temperature may be attained via inserting equation (5) into (1): Taking the natural logarithm of both sides in equation (6) gives equation (7). Equation (7) relates the bath temperature to the plateau current density (i.e., stable current density). Following this equation, it is obvious that the increase of the temperature would result in an exponential increase of the current density. However, it should be noticed that as the temperature rises, the viscosity of the diffusion layer on the anode surface is decreased, making it more difficult to maintain a viscous anode layer. is would inevitably affect the metal surface finish quality. In this sense, the temperature range to reach an optimum electropolishing result for a specific system should be carefully selected [25].  Figure 10(b); the surface morphology improved markedly, and there are fewer pits and cracks observed in the polished surface. Figure 10(c) shows the C-steel surface after electropolishing in the 8 M H 3 PO 4 solution containing 100 ppm of marjoram methanolic extract. It is significant to point out that when the plant extract is added to the solution, the C-steel surface morphology is fairly dissimilar from the previous one and the surfaces were smoother to some extent. On studying the influence of higher concentration of the marjoram methanolic extract (500 ppm) on the C-steel in the 8 M H 3 PO 4 solution (Figure 10(d)), we observed the film formation that is spread on the whole C-steel surface via a random way. is may be understood as owing to marjoram extract adsorption on the C-steel surface slot in the passive film, so it blocks the peaks and valleys on the C-steel surface, or owing to the extract molecules involvement and the interaction with the C-steel surface reaction sites, leading to a reduce in the contact between C-steel and the aggressive medium and successively displaying excellent retardation influence. Figure 10(e) demonstrates SEM analysis of the C-steel after polishing in the 8 M H 3 PO 4 solution containing 100 ppm coriander seeds extract. It can be observed that the surface has been moderately smooth in comparison with the 8 M H 3 PO 4 without extracts sample, the dissimilarity becomes distinguished, mainly in orientation to the morphology obtained, and the grain boundaries are the main feature of the surface. But, the surface in the existence of 500 ppm coriander seeds extract (Figure 10(f )) was silky and minimal affected by the process of dissolution than the blank owing to the coriander seeds extract molecules adsorption on the C-steel surface and made a preservative layer on the surface. e formations of scattered pits are further diminished owing to involvement of coriander seeds extract molecules in pits and grain boundaries.
SEM C-steel surface images in the solution containing 100 ppm and 500 ppm chamomile extract are shown in Figures 10(g) and 10(h). e carbon steel surface is strongly influenced by the concentration of extract, it is monitored that there is a gradual increase in surface quality and uniformity by increasing extract concentration from 100 to 500 ppm, and the surface is well polished, smooth, and completely uniform since grain boundaries represented in Figure 10(h) clearly became completely disappeared in the presence of high concentration of chamomile extract, where chamomile extract molecules are filling up the grain   boundaries, as obtained in Figure 10(g).
is led to improvement in surface quality resulting a completely uniform and smooth surface. e C-steel surface electropolished in the 8 M H 3 PO 4 solution containing 100 ppm guava leaves extract (Figure 10(i)) is clear from any noticeable imperfections such as hollows and breaks, although some scratches are observable. In the presence of 500 ppm extract (Figure 10(j)), the C-steel cracks, heterogeneity, and pits are significantly reduced owing to the protective adsorption film formation offered by guava leaves extract, and clearly, a smooth and regular surface is noticed. e leveling and brightening influences were noticeably improved by the addition of Guava leaves extract where guava leaves extract are satisfying the channels and grain boundaries, and also, the etching effect is removed [27] By comparing the effect of four extracts, it is noticed that the well-polished and uniform C-steel surface is obtained by the addition of 500 ppm marjoram extract where a completely smooth, even, and uniform surface is obtained, and this behavior confirmed the data obtained from the polarization and weight loss method since marjoram extract records highest % inhibition.   With respect to coriander seeds extract, Ra decreases from 2.7 μm to 0.36 μm and 0.21 μm for 100 and 500 ppm, respectively [28]. e roughness (Ra) value for carbon-steel specimen treated with 8 M H 3 PO 4 solution containing 100 and 500 ppm of marjoram extract recorded 0.32 μm and 0.17 μm as a minimum Ra value obtained. e extract molecules behavior can be attributed to the extract adsorption ability on the C-steel surface. It amplifies via growing extract concentration.
Roughness measurements confirm scanning electron microscope images and will also be confirmed in the following brightness measurements section.

Gloss Value (Brightness).
e Vis-IR spectra of untreated specimen, C-steel electropolished in 8 M H 3 PO 4 (blank), and C-steel electropolished in 8 M H 3 PO 4 electrolyte containing 100 and 500 ppm of different plant extracts are shown in Figure 11.
It is seen that the electropolished specimens' reflectance is strongly affected by the type of plant extracts. It is clear that the reflectance of the specimen that is electro-polished at 8 M H 3 PO 4 increases compared with the untreated specimen, where the specular reflectance value before EP is 11.1 and after EP in 8 M H 3 PO 4 is 16. High reflection property is obtained when the different type of plant extracts is added to the electropolishing electrolyte. By addition of guava leaves extract, chamomile extract, coriander seeds extract, and marjoram extract, the degree of surface brightness and reflectance increased; Table 4.
In order to reduce the microirregularities and amplify the metal brightness, it is considered that it is essential to accomplish homogeneous formation and cations diffusion from the anode surface, on a microscale. It is credible that correct type and concentration of plant extract supply to control C-steel polishing in H 3 PO 4 acid. e adsorption enhancements and the normal anodic film action in improving the surface microstructure are credible from the four studied plant extracts.

Conclusions
