Study about organic inhibitor has been performed to analyze effect of ginger extract concentration (Zingiber officinaler) to corrosion characteristic of API 5L grade steel under 3.5% NaCl and 0.1M HCl. Amount of 100 to 500 ppm inhibitor injected into each solution and electrochemistry tests were performed. Ginger extract has been prepared previously with maceration method and tested with FTIR to identify type compound in it. Tafel test result showed that corrosion rate of steel decreased in accordance with the increase of inhibitors concentration. Corrosion rate decreased to 12.13 mpy at 500 ppm inhibitor under NaCl solution, with efficiency 54.79%. While in HCl, corrosion rate showed similar trend, with corrosion rate 8.19 mpy at 500 ppm, with efficiency 81.66%. EIS result showed that impedance increased with the increase of inhibitors concentration, while FTIR result showed that ginger extract inhibitor contain 2-Methoxy-4-propylphenol which is known as antioxidant compound. According to XRD test, Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 compound were identified on steel surface. Ginger extract might worked better in acid environment since it decrease corrosion rate significantly compared to neutral solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
