Anti-corrosive Properties of Synthetic Organic Compounds: A Review

Corrosion poses a significant challenge in various industries, leading to substantial economic losses and safety concerns. The electrochemical reactions between metallic metals and their surroundings result in corrosion, which deteriorates the metals and frequently cause environmental contamination, financial losses, and safety issues. The paper summarizes the various organic inhibitors for steel and copper in hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid and the methodology that we can use to find the properties of inhibition. There are numerous factors that influence the corrosion inhibition potential of these compounds, including the substituents and heteroatoms present in their molecular structures. An analysis of the inhibition of copper and steel corrosion using organic compounds is presented in the present review article. This review provides insights into the various organic inhibitors that inhibit corrosion through heterocyclic compounds. The focus of this review paper is on the novel contributions to corrosion inhibition, demonstrating how organic compounds can be used to protect steel and copper surfaces from corrosion.
