Description
Summary:Over the last years, corrosion phenomenon is an important economical and lives lost, which calls in the last decades researches on its final resolution by various techniques. Through this book chapter, we present one of the most used methods to protect the metals: the corrosion inhibitor. We have presented the classification (liquid and gas phase), action mode (adsorption, barrier, reinforcing of the oxide layer, passivation, and formed insoluble complex), the application fields (water treatment, petroleum industry), and some particular inhibitors. In addition, we present a case study using a green corrosion inhibitor (GCI) prepared from the oil of Ceratonia siliqua L. seeds.
