Plant extracts used as corrosion inhibitors

Talinum triangulare leaf and Musa sapientum peel extracts as corrosion inhibitors on ZA-27 Alloy

With the current emergence of green chemistry to keep the environment safe, attention is being shifted towards using plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors. The inhibitive performances of Talinum triangulare leaf extract and Musa sapientum peel extract on the ZA-27 in 1.0 M and 1.5 M hydrochloric acid solutions were studied for 18 days using mass loss measurement. The corrosion inhibition effic...

Investigation of Diospyros Kaki L.f husk extracts as corrosion inhibitors and bactericide in oil field

BACKGROUND Hydrochloric acid is used in oil-well acidizing commonly for improving the crude oil production of the low-permeable reservoirs, while it is a great challenge for the metal instruments involved in the acidification. Developing natural products as oilfield chemicals is a straight way to find less expensive, green and eco-friendly materials. The great plant resources in Qin-ling and Ba...

Investigation of ginkgo biloba leave extracts as corrosion and Oil field microorganism inhibitors

Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae), originating from China, now distributes all over the world. Wide application of Ginkgo biloba extracts is determined by the main active substances, flavonoids and terpenoids, which indicates its extracts suitable to be used as an effective corrosion inhibitor. The extracts of Ginkgo biloba leave have been investigated on the corrosion inhibition of Q235A steel with ...

Drugs as Corrosion Inhibitors: A Review

The inhibiting effect of drugs towards the corrosion of different metals and alloys has been reviewed in this paper. Results of Weight loss method, Potentiodynamic polarization and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were investigated. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters provide valuable information about the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Different classes of drugs, having hetero-atoms...
