Abstract
Abstract The extracts of different parts of plants (leaf, stem, and flower) act as a green, environmentally friendly, economical, and safe corrosion inhibitors. The eco-friendly extracts of plant material provide an excellent alternative that substitutes toxic traditional (organic and inorganic) corrosion inhibitors. The plant extracts are renewable and readily available; thus, they occupy a unique position in the family of green inhibitors. The plant extract contains several bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, phenolic acids, glycosides, flavonols, etc., which possess experienced significant interest as anti-corrosive agents. These plant extracts contain several heteroatoms like phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, etc., which are adsorbed on the metallic surface and form an inert protective layer that protects metal from a corrosive environment. Thus, this article aims to shed light on the efficiency of plant extract in protecting steel in an acidic environment.
