Abstract


The green corrosion inhibition of buried low carbon steel (LCS) (in different molarities of acid) using orange leaves extract (OLE) as inhibitor has successfully been carried out. The soil sample was characterized to determine its resistivity, chloride and sulphate content, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and corrosively towards buried structural material while the absorbed film on LCS surface was characterized using FTIR spectrophotometer to determine the functional groups weight loss measurement, tafel technique were used to determine the corrosion behavior of the metal in the composed medium. The corrosion media were hydrochloric acid (1.0m and 2.0m) an sulphuric acid (1.0m and 2.0m). The weight loss tests were carried out at room temperature and inhibitor concentration of 0.5 to 2.5g/l over a time interval of 25 to 125hours. Result show that OLE is a good corrosion inhibitor of low carbon steel in acidic medium over the time interval of study, the inhibition efficiency of the OLE increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. The highest inhibition efficiency obtained was 89.61% in 1.0m H2SO4, it follows that OLE as better as inhibitor in H2S04 than in HCL. Also, the effectiveness of OLE as an inhibitor is higher at lower acid concentration both the open circuit potential and the Tafel plots collaborate the results obtain from weight loss technique. The FTIR spectroscopic analysis reveals the presence of organic compounds, alkyl halides and nitro-compounds these seem to be the functional groups responsible for the inhibition characteristics of the OLE.
