Abstract
The green corrosion inhibition of buried low-carbon steel (LCS) in 1M
HCl using orange leaves extract (OLE) as inhibitor has successfully been
carried out. Weight loss measurement, was used to determine the corrosion
behaviour of the mild steel in the composed medium. 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 125 h. Results show that OLE is a good corrosion
inhibitor of LCS 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 86.57% at 2.5g/L
extract concentration.
