Optimization of extracts and constituents from alpinia galanga as corrosion inhibtor for mild steel in acidic medium

In terms of environmental impacts and cost considerations, the use of green additives particularly from plant origin have been found as a viable alternative approach to synthetic organic inhibitors in combatting the menace of corrosion. However, owing to the composition matrix complexity of plant ex...

In this research, corrosion inhibition properties of the rhizomes of Alpinia galanga and its constituents were investigated experimentally and theoretically on mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution using weight loss and electrochemical methods, and surface characterization techniques namely attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).

Optimal efficiencies of 90.3% and 91.17% were attained for hexane extract and essential oil components, respectively, at optimized concentration, temperature, and time. Investigations revealed that mixed mode interactions for all the inhibitors and their effectiveness were supported by the surface characterization techniques. Inhibition efficiencies decreased with increasing temperature for all inhibitors except for the essential oil fraction which increased steadily.
