Studies On African Oil Bean Plant As A Corrosion Inhibitor For Low Carbon Steel In Crude Oil:- Udechukwu Samuel C
ABSTRACT
This
research work was performed on five distinct parts of the African oil bean
plant (leaves, pods, seed shells, bark and root) and involved extraction,
corrosion inhibition test of low 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 of extracts on the carbon steel surface. All the
parts of the 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%
