Dynamics of Aluminum Corrosion in Diversified Media: Comparative Analysis of Ethanol, Bio-diesel, Blended Fuel, and Aggressive Conditions to the Sustainable Use of Energy

Aluminium fabrics rapport continues to play a important part in the occupation of secure and sustainable schemes including the use of inexhaustible fuels. This experiment examined the corrosion rates of aluminium under the influence of ethanol, sesame oil-derived biodiesels, palm nut oil-derived biodiesels, desert date oil-derived biodiesels, 1:1 mixtures of each biodiesel and ethanol, and under the influence of strong chemical solutions (0.5M HCl and 0.5M NaOH). The experiment used the gravimetric analyses procedure to weigh the kinetics of the entire experiment. Based on the procedures followed in the experiment, the results showcased a conducive environment for the usage of each solution across the aluminium materials due to the recorded corrodense rates of less than 1 x 10⁻⁵ mg cm⁻² day⁻¹. This can be attributed to the factor of esterification as the primary mode of protecting the entire metal surface. Moreover, the results of the entire experiment showcased the sustained inert nature of each 1:1 mix of the used biodiesels and ethanol. As a result, the materials were shown to each remain inert towards the aluminium materials. In contrast, the entire experiment showcased the influence of 0.5M HCl and 0.5M NaOH reagents as directed towards the increase in the corrodense rates. During the experiment, the reagents registered 2.4 x 10 ^− 2 mg cm ^-2 day ^-1 and 7.8 x 10 ^-4 mg cm ^-2 day ^-1 . In the entire experiment, the corrodense rates were in the order of NaOH ≫ HCl ≫ Ethanol ≈ Biodiesels ≈ Biodiesel-ethanol mixtures.
