Evaluation of Echinops Plant Extract as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor for SS316 in H2SO4 Solution
摘要
In current study, Echinops plant extract was examined as a green inhibitor in 1 M sulfuric acid on SS316 stainless steel. Regarding the total phenolic and flavonoid composition determined by LC-MS analysis, succinic acid (279.88 mg/L) and rosmarinic acid (103.53 mg/L) were found to be the extract’s two main constituents of extract. In addition, at a concentration of 200 ppm of inhibitor, the anti-corrosion ability of Echinops plant extract on SS316 stainless steel exhibited a maximum inhibition efficiency of 85.86%. The SEM-EDS observations validated that the inhibitor had created a productive layer on the SS316. Furthermore, to verify the anti-corrosion performance of the plant extract, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization experiments were performed. The calculated
