Principles and theories of green chemistry for corrosion science and engineering: design and application

Abstract

Given the high toxicity of inorganic inhibitors, organic substances, primarily heterocycles, have proven to be one of the most efficient, cost-efficient, and practical alternatives. The severe limitations of using organic...

Examining the ability of palm kernel shell extract to control corrosion and assess its economic value on thermo-mechanically treated steel in artificial seawater: a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach

“…The majority of these artificial organic chemicals are hazardous and detrimental to the environment, despite the fact that they have a strong inhibitory effect. Thus, stringent environmental laws and heightened ecological consciousness among scientists have prompted the use of environmentally acceptable substitutes to aid in the prevention of corrosion on metal surfaces ( Wei et al, 2020 ; Panchal et al, 2021 ; Verma et al, 2024 ). These naturally occurring compounds include molecules that have demonstrated a good inhibitory impact on metal corrosion, including polyphenols, amino acids, glucosinolates, alkaloids, and tannins.…”

Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Long Alkyl Chain-Bearing Dibenzotriazole Ionic Liquids as Eco-friendly Corrosion Inhibitors in Aqueous Hydrochloride Acid

“…Using ILs as corrosion inhibitors has recently attracted wide attention due to the designability of molecular structure, nonvolatility, nonflammability, electrochemical stability, and greenness. ,, Effective IL inhibitors for carbon steel in acidic environments typically consist of aromatic motifs with heteroatoms (to promote adsorption) and alkyl chains (with high hydrophobicity to repel corrosive media) . As shown in Table , most of the investigated ILs are composed of anions like Cl – , Br – , I – , BF 4 – , and PF 6 – .…”

“…Application of traditional corrosion inhibitors, like chromate, is now limited due to their toxicity. Recently, a significant amount of green corrosion inhibitors have been developed, including biobased chemicals, , synthetic organic compounds, − carbon materials, − and ionic liquids (ILs). − …”

Unveiling the anti-corrosion properties of Zn-eggshell particle composite coatings on mild steel in seawater-simulated solution using starch as a modifier

“…Effective corrosion prevention techniques have long been considered essential to materials science and engineering, especially in fields where metallic constructions are frequently exposed to harsh environmental conditions. 1–3 This is especially true in industries like construction, transportation, maritime, and oil and gas, where the integrity of metal structures is crucial to safety, usefulness, and lifespan. 4,5 The electrochemical process of corrosion, which occurs when metals deteriorate due to interactions with surrounding elements, endangers the structural integrity and aesthetic value of metals and results in large financial losses.…”
