Inhibition Studies of the Synergistic Effect of Rosemary oil and Zinc Oxide on S41003 Ferritic Steel Corrosion in Dilute Sulphuric and Hydrochloric Acid Solutions
Abstract:Corrosion inhibition studies of the synergistic properties of the combined admixture of Rosemary oil and zinc oxide (ROZ) on S41003 ferritic steel in 1M HCl and H 2 SO 4 acid were done with potentiodynamic polarization, weight loss analysis, open circuit potential measurement, optical microscopy and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Results showed the admixed compound to be highly effective with maximum inhibition efficiencies of 93.68% and 93.26%, 98.93% and 90.5% in HCl and H 2 SO 4 acid solutions from the electrochemi… Show more
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.
