Corrosion Inhibition of Carbon Steel in HCl Solution by Some Plant Extracts

[摘要] The strict environmental legislations and increasing ecological awareness among scientists have led to the development of“green” alternatives to mitigate corrosion. In the present work, literature on green corrosion inhibitors has been reviewed, and the salient features of our work on green corrosion inhibitors have been highlighted. Among the studied leaves, extractAndrographis paniculatashowed better inhibition performance (98%) than the other leaves extract.Strychnos nuxvomicashowed better inhibition (98%) than the other seed extracts.Moringa oleiferais reflected as a good corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in 1 M HCl with 98% inhibition efficiency among the studied fruits extract.Bacopa monnierishowed its maximum inhibition performanceto be 95% at 600 ppm among the investigated stem extracts. All the reported plant extracts were found to inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in acid media.
