Development of a green corrosion inhibitor for use in acid cleaning of MSF desalination plant
A green and cost-effective inhibitor based on Date palm leaves extract was formulated for use during acid
cleaning of thermal desalination plants. The inhibitor formulation designated as F1 was tested against the
corrosion of ferrous-based alloys namely: carbon steel, Ni-resist, and 316L stainless steel in 2% HCl solution at
40 °C under static and hydrodynamic conditions. Weight loss and electrochemical methods complemented with
scanning electron microscopy were used in the study. Experiments were performed for 6, 24, and 72 h and the
performance of F1 was compared with that of a commercial acid corrosion inhibitor. F1 exhibited excellent
corrosion inhibition performance. Under static and dynamic conditions, 0.4% of F1 provided excellent corrosion
inhibition up to 72 h and comparable to the commercial inhibitor performance. The inhibitors (F1 and the
commercial one) exhibited a behavior typical of a mixed type corrosion inhibitor in the studied environment
according to the potentiodynamic polarization. Results from cyclic potentiodynamic polarization experiments
excluded pitting corrosion risk on the 316L stainless steel in the studied medium. Results from all applied
techniques are in good agreement
