Coconut coir dust extract: a novel eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for Al in HCl solutions

Abstract

Corrosion inhibition of aluminium in 1 M HCl by coconut coir dust extract (CCDE) was studied using weight loss and hydrogen evolution techniques at 30 and 608C. It was found that the studied extract exhibits a very good performance as inhibitor for aluminium corrosion in 1 M HCl. Results show that the inhibition efficiency increases with increasing temperature and concentration of the extract. Inhibitive effect was afforded by adsorption of the extracts' components which was found to accord with Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Inhibition mechanism is deduced from the temperature dependence of the inhibition efficiency and was further corroborated by the values of activation parameters obtained from the experimental data.

Ceratonia siliqua extractas a green corrosion inhibitor for copper and brass in nitric acid solutions

“…Plant extracts are used as corrosion inhibitors for their low cost and are safe for the environment. Inhibitors from plant extracts are renewable resources, readily available, acceptable and environmentally friendly (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). The inhibition performance of plant extract is normally related to the presence of heterocyclic constituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, proteins.…”

Environmentally Friendly Corrosion Inhibitors

“…In the last years, Umoren and Obot's research group has published several papers about the evaluations of plant extracts as CIs, for example, Phyllanthus amarus [34], Pachylobus edulis [35], Raphia hookeri [36], Ipomoea involcrata [37] and Spondias mombin L. [38].…”
