“…[1][2][3] Mild steel is widely used in the petroleum industry as transport pipes for oil in petroleum production and rening, chemical processing industries, engineering materials in transportation, pipeline industries, mining and marine applications, nuclear power plants, construction and metal processing equipment. 4,5 Mild steel is, however, susceptible to corrosion, especially in acidic conditions and can readily be exposed to acid during acid cleaning, acid pickling and acid descaling, which are famous industrial procedures. [6][7][8][9][10] The use of corrosion inhibitors in different media has become an efficient and common way of protecting metallic surfaces from corrosion [11][12][13] because it is easy to apply and relatively inexpensive.…”
