Various agricultural residues have been employed for corrosion testing. Which specific agricultural residues are optimal for testing under a particular analysis?
The biggest global producers of palm oil are Indonesia, who produced 60% of it in 2022, followed by Malaysia, Thailand, and Nigeria. Indonesia produces biodiesel primarily from palm oil. Agricultural wastes have inspired new opportunities for the production of eco-friendly, cheap and sustainable inhibitor for engineering materials. In this study, we examined the adsorption and corrosion inhibitive performance of palm kernel shell extract (PKSE) as an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor on stainless steel (SS) in a simulated seawater environment. Maximum inhibition efficiency (≈ 96.67%) is obtained at PKO concentration 8 v/v %. This result revealed that palm kernel oil can act as a corrosion inhibitor in an alkaline medium. Corrosion rates of carbon steel decrease as the concentration of inhibitor is increased. palm oil are excellent corrosion inhibitors with protection efficiencies greater than 98%. Fatty amides molecules act as cathodic inhibitors decreasing the anodic dissolution of iron. Rust & Corrosion Preventive Oil is formulated to displace moisture and protect metal surfaces from humidity that could cause rust and corrosion whether in use or storage. The coconut shell acted as mixed–type corrosion inhibitor.
