Punica Granatum Leave Extract as Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in Hydrochloric Acid
Abstract
Corrosion is a significant issue that has resulted in the expenditure of millions of dollars by businesses worldwide for the restoration of machinery and structures. An environmentally benign corrosion inhibitor derived from Punica granatum leaves was employed in this investigation. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of Punica granatum leaf extraction as a corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in a hydrochloric acid solution. In this paper, we used mild steel as the sample and 1M hydrochloric acid as the acid solution. This research involved two tests: scanning electron microscopic studies and energy dispersive spectroscopy. In order to enhance the mild steel specimen’s characterisation, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy will be implemented for surface examination. We removed and dried the specimens after 72 hours. Comparing the specimens that were immersed in PGLE inhibitor solutions to those that were immersed in 1M HCl alone, scanning electron microscopic studies (SEM) images showed that the specimens that were immersed in the PGLE inhibitor solutions were in better shape and had smoother surfaces. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) was used to find out what the mild steel sample's surface was made of when inhibitors were present and when they were not present in the 1M HCl solution. To calculate the corrosion efficiency (Ƞw%), we measured the weight loss of mild steel in uninhibited and inhibited solutions after 3, 6, and 9 days. Finally, the results demonstrate that Punica granatum leaves reduce the rate of corrosion on mild steel or other metals
