The inhibitory action of Schinus molle L. essential oil was investigated for the corrosion of carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution using weight loss, polarization curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The inhibition efficiency has increased with the increase of the inhibitor concentration, reaching a value of up to 70% at 2 g/L.
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.
