Handbook of Science & Engineering of Green Corrosion Inhibitors

Book excerpt: Handbook of Science and Engineering of Green Corrosion Inhibitors: Modern Theory, Fundamentals and Practical Applications presents developments in green corrosion inhibitors and current applications. The book provides an overview of green corrosion inhibitors such as plant extracts, chemical medicines, natural polymers, synthetic green compounds, carbohydrates, amino acids and oleochemicals that can cost-effectively minimize corrosive damage. The book handles several compounds used as anticorrosive materials for different metals and alloys in a versatile corrosive environment. Sections address the fundamental characteristics of green corrosion inhibition and deal with the economic impact of corrosion and forms of corrosion, while also assessing and classifying corrosion inhibitors. The book covers a broad range of applications in green corrosion inhibition and concludes with new emerging trends in corrosion protection such as high temperature corrosion and its protection and nanomaterials as corrosion inhibitors. - Provides an overview of environmentally sustainable (green) corrosion inhibitors utilized in modern industrial platforms - Evaluates corrosion inhibitors as prime options for sustainable and transformational opportunities - Serves as a valuable reference for scientists and engineers who are searching modern design for corrosion inhibitors - Covers both synthetic and natural environmentally-friendly corrosion inhibitors
