The inhibtive action of natural honey on the corrosion of C-steel, which used in manufacturer of petroleum pipelines, in high saline water was evaluated. The inhibition eciency was calculated using weight loss measurements and potentiostatic polarization
technique. It was found that, natural honey exhibited a very good performance as inhibitor
for steel corrosion in high saline water. The inhibition eciency increases with an increase in natural honey concentration. After some time, the inhibition eciency decreased due to the growth of fungi in the medium. The adsorption of natural honey on the C-steel was found to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. |
