    LIRIOPE PLATYPHYLLA EXTRACT AS A GREEN INHIBITOR FOR MILD STEEL CORROSION IN SULFURIC ACID MEDIUM
    (Taylor & Francis Online, 2021) Ill-Min, Chung; Venkatesan, Hemapriya; Seung-Hyun, Kim; Kanchana, Ponnusamy; Natarajan, Arunadevi; Subramanian, Chitra
    The phytochemical components of the methanol extract of Liriope platyphylla (L. platyphylla) leaves were identified using UHPLC, and their antioxidant activities were studied. The impact of the L. platyphylla extract on the corrosion of mild steel by 1 M H2SO4 was assessed using electrochemical and gravimetric techniques. L. platyphylla exhibited concentration-dependent corrosion protection activity through a mixed-mode adsorption process, as revealed by polarization studies. Impedance measurements indicated the development of a protective film of the inhibitor, which was confirmed by morphology studies at the micro level with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and at the nano level with atomic force microscopy (AFM). Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) studies also confirmed the adsorption of the inhibitor film onto the mild steel surface.

    UTILIZATION OF BIOWASTE AS AN ECO-FRIENDLY BIODEGRADABLE CORROSION INHIBITOR FOR MILD STEEL IN 1 MOL/L HCL SOLUTION
    (Elsevier, 2020-12) Venkatesan, Hemapriya; Mayakrishnan, Prabakaran; Subramanian, Chitra; Manoharan, Swathika; Seung-Hyun, Kim; Ill-Min, Chung
    This report focuses on the application of a biodegradable biowaste [human hair-(HHR)], to produce a mild steel corrosion inhibitor. The performance of HHR extract in inhibiting metallic corrosion in 1 mol/L HCl was investigated. The analysis of the metal corrosion behavior using electrochemical and weight loss techniques revealed that HHR exhibits an efficient corrosion-mitigating effect via adsorption on the metal surface following a Langmuir isotherm. Tafel-plot results revealed the mixed-mode corrosion protection behavior of HHR. Surface analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy provided evidence for the precipitation of a protective HHR film on the metal surface.

    ASSESSMENT OF LOW CARBON STEEL CORROSION INHIBITION BY ECO-FRIENDLY GREEN CHAENOMELES SINENSIS EXTRACT IN ACID MEDIUM
    (The Korean Electrochemical Society, 2018-07-16) Ill-Min, Chung; Venkatesan, Hemapriya; Kanchana, Ponnusamy; Natarajan, Arunadevi; Subramanian, Chitra; Chi-Hee, Youn; Seung-Hyun, Kim; Mayakrishnan, Prabakaran
    The impact of methanol extract of Chaenomeles sinensis (C. sinensis) leaves on acid corrosion of low carbon steel was assessed by gravimetric and electrochemical methods. Phytochemical characterization by total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoids content (TFC) of the extract was performed. The TPC and TFC concentrations were identified as 193.50 and 40.55 mg/g. Efficiency increased remarkably in the presence of inhibitor and found as concentration dependent. A maximum inhibition efficiency of 93.19% was achieved using 2000 ppm of the C. sinensis inhibitor. Impedance and surface morphology analysis by SEM and AFM revealed that the anticorrosive activity results from the protective film of phytochemical components of C. sinensis extract adsorbed on the metal surface.
