Corrosion inhibition - the natural way

วันนี้ผมอยากเสนอการป้องกันการกัดกร่อนโดยการหน่วงไม่ให้เกิดด้วยสารยับยั้งการกัดกร่อน ซึ่งทุกวันนี้มีเทคโนโลยีและสารละลายมากมาย แต่ที่โลกกำลังต้องกันคือ แนวอนุรักษ์ธรรมชาติและสิ่งแวดล้อม...

Corrosion inhibitors are chemical compounds added to the corrosive medium to reduce the rate of its attack on the metal or alloy. The chemicals which can act as corrosion inhibitors may be inorganic or organic. The inorganic compounds such as chromates inhibit the corrosion process via formation of passive oxide film on the metal surface and thus prevent the corrosive medium to attack the bar metal. On the other hand, the organic compounds adsorb on the metal surface forming a barrier between the metal and the corrosive environment. Some structural features of the organic compounds help them to do so. These include the presence of oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atoms as well as presence of double bonds. The lone pair electrons of the mentioned atoms facilitate the adsorption process.Some criteria should be considered when making a choice of chemical compounds for inhibition of corrosion. Inhibition of metallic corrosion is mainly an economical process. Therefore, the first criterion must be fulfilled by the used inhibitors is their prices. The other very important criterion should be considered when dealing with corrosion inhibitor is its effect on the human and environment. Unfortunately, most of the effective corrosion inhibitors are synthetic chemicals with high cost. At the same time, the use of such synthetic compounds can cause harm to human and environment.Upon looking around we'll find very rich resources for substances with wide varieties of chemical structures. So, why we rush to synthesize harmful chemical while the nature around us full of the safest ones? The plant is the great chemical factory which can supply us with the chemicals required to inhibit the corrosion process. Most of the naturally occurrence substances are safe and can be extracted by simple and cheap procedures.Recent literature full of researches which test different extracts for corrosion inhibition applications. The examples are numerous such as henna, olive, shirsh zallouh, vanillin, natural honey, khella, onion, ficus, opuntia,many oils extracted from different parts of different plants and many others. Many of these naturally occurring substances proved their ability to act as corrosion inhibitors for the corrosion of different metals and alloys in different aggressive media
