Natural Essential Oil Compounds as Green and Excellent Corrosion Inhibitors in Different Corrosive Media: A Mini Review

Principles and theories of green chemistry for corrosion science and engineering: design and application

“…In terms of their anticorrosive properties, essential oils stand out due to their natural abundance, non-toxicity, zero/minimal environmental impact, affordability, excellent biodegradability and outstanding adsorption capabilities. 512 Most essential oils contain a rich assortment of chemical constituents, including monoterpene phenols, ketones, alcohols, hydrocarbons, and esters, many of which contribute to their anticorrosive abilities. 513 These extracts are often derived from various parts of plants, with leaves being a common source.…”
