Oryza sativa plant extract in 15% hydrochloric acid as a green corrosion inhibitor on the surface of stainless steel 410

Fifteen percent hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions are used for some cleaning processes in the petroleum industry. The use of such a corrosive medium is mainly responsible for the corrosion of the stainless steel (SS-410) vessels and pipings. In this study, the corrosion inhibiting properties of Oryza sativa plant extract (OSPE) from agricultural residues are investigated on SS-410 steel surfaces in a 15% HCl medium. Gravimetric analysis showed a maximum corrosion inhibition of 91.92% with 4 g/L OSPE in 15% HCl solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the adsorption of OSPE on the SS-410 surface. The adsorption of OSPE on SS-410 followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, indicating the formation of a monolayer on the SS-410 surface. The theoretical study confirmed that the anticorrosive effect could be mainly related to the phytochemical 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester. Consequently, the OSPE containing this phytochemical shows an anticorrosive behavior on the SS-410 surface in an acidic 15% HCl solution.

Automated summary

This study investigated the corrosion inhibiting properties of Oryza sativa plant extract (OSPE) from agricultural residues on SS-410 steel surfaces in a 15% HCl medium. The results showed that 4 g/L OSPE achieved a maximum corrosion inhibition of 91.92%. OSPE formed a monolayer on the SS-410 surface and the anticorrosive effect could be mainly attributed to the phytochemical 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester.
