Effect of Natural Sources on the Corrosion Inhibition

Corrosion costs more than a trillion dollars worldwide and with great efforts being made to solve this problem. The toxic effect of components used in the solution of this problem causes new problems with increasing environmental concerns and high costs. Accordingly, green inhibitors have become an alternative protection method with its ecofriendly nature. With the development of green chemistry technologies, the role of plant extracts and biowastes as new corrosion inhibitors in various environments and their protection effect for many materials have been determined. In this study, besides these mentioned topics, test methods, corrosion prevention mechanisms, and economic approaches are summarized.
