HYBRIDIZATION OF PLANT EXTRACTS OF CASHEW (CASHUT) AND ZIZIPHUS SPINA-CHRISTI (KURNA) AS CORROSION INHIBITORS
Corrosion poses significant challenges across various industries, necessitating the development of effective inhibitors for its prevention. This study aims to investigate the potential of plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors, focusing on cashew and Ziziphus spina-christi leaves due to their eco-friendliness and availability. The objectives include extracting and analyzing phytochemical compounds from these leaves and evaluating their corrosion inhibition efficiency. Results revealed that both cashew and Ziziphus spina-christi extracts contain compounds with corrosion inhibition properties. The hybrid extract showed promising efficiency, with corrosion inhibition levels reaching up to 80.14%. Phytochemical analyses confirmed the presence of compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids, known for their corrosion inhibition capabilities. Recommendations include further evaluation of corrosion inhibition efficiency, optimization of extract concentrations, and investigation of long-term stability. This study underscores the potential of plant extracts as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors, offering insights for practical industrial applications.
