    ABSTRACT The inhibition of the corrosion of aluminium in 1.0 M HCl solution by xanthan gum has been studied using weight loss and polarization measurements techniques. Inhibition was found to increase with increasing concentration of the xanthan gum. The effect of temperature and immersion time was also studied. The inhibition was found to occur via adsorption on the metal surface following Temkin and El-Awady adsorption isotherms. The apparent activation energy as well as free energy of adsorption, ΔGads for the inhibition process was calculated. Polarization measurements indicate the inhibitor is of mixed-type, with predominant inhibitive effect on cathodic partial reaction
