| Summary: | This study examined earlier research on using papaya and neem extracts as inhibitors to minimize the corrosion of mild steel in a variety of corrosive situations. The potential inhibitory characteristics of plant extracts to potentially replace the hitherto used, well-known inhibitors that are harmful to the people handling them as well as the environment, inspired several scholars to conduct corrosion inhibition tests on metals using plant extracts. The findings of earlier research demonstrated that the maximal inhibitory efficiency provided by neem leaf extract to prevent the degradation of carbon steel in a hydrochloric acid (1 M) medium was 97%, while 86% was observed for the protection in H2SO4 (1 M) solution. The extract from Carica papaya leaves was shown to have up to 83% maximum inhibitory efficacy for preventing mild steel corrosion in HCl (1 M). It has been revealed that when extract concentration increased, the rate of steel corrosion reduced. Additionally, papaya leaves' corrosion-inhibiting mechanism was said to occur mostly in the cathodic area. Both plant-leaf extracts (Papaya and Neem) have been reported to have adsorption qualities that, for the most part, agreed with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. |
