ABSTRACT
This research work was performed on five
distinct parts ofthe African oil bean plant (leaves, pods, seed shells, bark
and root) and involved extraction, corrosion inhibition test oflow carbon steel
in crude oil utilizing gravimetric analyses. The sample morphology was evaluated.
The rate of corrosion of low carbon steel specimens in the plant extract was
observed to decrease with immersion time (120hrs-792hrs) and increase in the
concentration of extracts by increasing their ratio with respect to the medium.
The inhibitors inhibitory efficiency (IE) increased with time (120hrs-792hrs)
demonstrating a physisorption ofextracts on the carbon steel surface. All the
parts ofthe plant showed good inhibition efficiency in the medium ranging from
82.11% to 99.02% but the pod was the best with an inhibitory efficiency of
99.02%
