Green inhibitors for steel corrosion in acidic environment: state of art

Use of a Gemini-Surfactant Synthesized from the Mango Seed Oil as a CO2-Corrosion Inhibitor for X-120 Steel

“…During last 10 years, a lot of research work has been undertaken in many naturally occurring environmentally friendly which are extracts of plants fruits, leaves, roots, flowers, etc. which have been called green inhibitors [28][29][30][31][32][33]. As a result, green chemistry and the development of efficient, environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors has become a significant point of focus within the oil and gas industry [34].…”

Na2SnO3 functions as outstanding magnesium alloy passivator by synergistic effect with trace carboxymethyl chitosan for Mg–air batteries for standby protection

“…[5][6][7] Among them, organic corrosion inhibitors generally prevent the metal from corrosion by either chemisorption or physical adsorption on the metal surface, showing the advantages of high efficiency, diverse functions, and environment friendliness. 8 Inorganic inhibitors can promote the passivation of the metal surface to form metal oxides and the reduction products of inorganic inhibitors; in chloride-enriched media, such inhibitors have a better effect on the inhibition of the initiation of pitting corrosion, and can also promote the re-passivation of the metal surface. 9,10 Common organic corrosion inhibitors include organic amines, aldehydes, heterocyclic compounds, imidazolines, and their derivatives.…”

Comparative studies of inhibitive properties of Ficus polita and Ficus platyphylla on corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acidic medium

“…The use of corrosion inhibitors has been considered an easy and cost-effective approach to combating corrosion. Synthetic inhibitors exist and are effective but add to environmental contamination hence alternative and eco-friendly inhibitors are essential [4]. Natural products of plant origin and substances from other renewable sources have gained heightened interest by researchers as green corrosion inhibitors [5][6][7], because they are biodegradable [8,9], less toxic [10] and do not contain heavy metals.…”
