Evaluation Of The Effects Of Allium Cepa Extract On Mild Steel To Combat Corrosion In The Engineering Industry
ABSTRACT
One of the major
challenges facing the industry is corrosion. Corrosion attacks every component
at every stage in the life of every industrial equipment. Synthetic Corrosion
inhibitors, being costly and with its associated environmental concern is
currently used to combat this problem. Following this concern is a search for
natural corrosion inhibitors which can compensate for the lapses of the
synthetic ones. The inhibitive effects of onion oncorrosion of mild steel was
studied using gravimetric methods. Results of the Gravimetric analysis reveal
that the inhibitor efficiency of Onion (Allium Cepa) extract is proportional to
the inhibitor concentration up to a critical concentration observed to be
2m1/100ml. The average optimum efficiency observed was 83i56% while that
predicted by the quadratic regression model used was 89.39%. Exposure time and
the inhibitor efficiency werefound to have effect on the efficiency of the
inhibitor compared to the inhibitor concentration. Therefore Allium Cepa
extract is suitable for use as corrosion inhibitor for sweet corrosion of mild
steel.
