Corrosion inhibition effect of citrus sinensis essential oil extract on plain carbon steel in dilute acid media
The inhibition performance of essential oil extracts of citrus sinensis (CS) on the corrosion of plain carbon steel (PCS) in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.5 M HCl solution was evaluated by weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization technique, optical macroscopy and ATF-FTIR spectroscopy. CS more effectively inhibited PCS corrosion in HCl solution compared to H2SO4 with optimal inhibition result...
