    In this paper the research of corrosion protection of steel by processing corrosion environment using various concentrations of sage extracts (Salvia officinalis) (0.5 g/dm(3), 1 g/dm(3) and 1.5 g/dm(3)) in a 4% solution of HCl was carried out. Measurements were performed using gravimetric and electrochemical methods (Tafel extrapolation method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). The results have showed that sage is recommendable as a possible inhibitor in 4% solutions of HCl. The research also confirms that electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a reliable method to use for rapid corrosion tests, since the results confirm the gravimetric measurements of corrosion indicators. Determination of corrosion rate and the degree of protection using Tafel diagrams calculated on the basis of corrosion current did not give reliable results. The results show that sage may be used as a "green inhibitor" for protection of steel in a shorter period of time. The degree of protection ranges up to 64.5% for steel 2; however, since sage is environmentally friendly, it is a suitable corrosion inhibitor for shorter periods of time

    Morphological and crystallographic characteristics of lead powder obtained by electrodeposition from an environmentally friendly electrolyte

    Lead powder obtained by potentiostatic electrodeposition from alkaline electrolyte, based on hydroxide ions, was investigated. The shape of lead crystals strongly depends on overpotentials of electrodeposition. The regular crystals are formed in the ohmic control. The shape of dendrites formed in the control of diffusion has a function of overpotentials of the electrodeposition. Increasing overpotential leads to branching of dendrites from primary type to those with developed tertiary branches. Formation of the very branchy dendrites of the strong (111) preferred orientation is explained on the basis of the affiliation of this electrolyte to the group of the complex Pb electrolytes

    Influence of the complex formation on the morphology of lead powder particles produced by the electrodeposition processes

    The processes of lead electrodeposition from the basic (nitrate) and complex (acetate) electrolytes were mutually compared by the analysis of their polarization characteristics and by the scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis of the morphology of formed deposits. Although the polarization characteristics of lead recorded from these two electrolytes were relatively similar to each other, the shape of formed dendrites strongly depended on the type of electrolyte. The dendrites composed of stalk and weak developed primary branches (the primary (P) type) were predominantly formed from the basic electrolyte. On the other hand, the very branchy dendrites composed of stalk and of both primary and secondary branches (the secondary (S) type) were mainly electrodeposited from the complex electrolyte. Considering the fact that the application of lead powder in many technologies is closely related with its surface morphology, the special attention was given to the analysis of the type of electrolytes on formation of the different dendritic forms. It was shown that formation of more branchy dendrites from the acetate electrolyte can be ascribed to the lower exchange current density (or to the lower rate of electrochemical process) for this electrolyte than for the nitrate one due to the process of complex formation
