Abstract

The present review gives a brief application of environmentally – safe corrosion inhibitors for various metals like aluminum, copper, mild steel, and zinc. Due to the enormous increase of industrial activities, a large amount of mineral acids are consumed. Therefore more number of metals gets corroded. These problems can be solved by using corrosion deterence. Although many chemical deterence are available most of them are highly virulent. So there is a need to explore a new class of corrosion inhibitors with good inhibition efficiency and that are environmentally - safe. Consequently, it can be achieved by using plant materials as corrosion inhibitors which are non-toxic, easily available and biodegradable.
