Anticorrosion properties of momilactone A isolated from rice hulls

Momilactone A was isolated from rice hulls (Oryza sativa L.) using ethyl acetate as the solvent. Momilactone A has been investigated as a green inhibitor for the very first time. The result confirm highly efficient inhibition of the proposed isolated compound. As long as we know this is the first rice hull isolated compound to be reported for green inhibition properties. Mild steel is widely used in many industries. The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution using momilactone A has been studied using electrochemical studies. Momilactone A maximum inhibition efficiency of 88% was achieved by using 1000 ppm. (C) 2016 The Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
