Green Corrosion Inhibitors from Biomass and Natural Sources

Abstract

Considering the fact that corrosion of metals and alloys presents a significant problem all over the world, the one of most recently utilized approaches to combat this problem necessitates the researches for employment of new materials, which satisfied the green chemistry idea. In this connection, the development of sustainable corrosion inhibitors is highly demanded due to the increasing of awareness of green chemistry principles not only in corrosion discipline, but also in all branches of science and technology. Due to natural and biological origin as well as their eco-friendly extraction, the plant materials and biomass derived from various waste sources could be applied as beneficial substances for metals and alloys protection in different corrosion environment. Therefore, this work reports the main findings regarding their employments as green anticorrosion substances.
