Saccharum sinense bagasse extract as an effective corrosion inhibitor for J55 steel in 3.5% NaCl solution saturated with CO₂

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to test bagasse extract as an effective corrosion inhibitor.

Design/methodology/approach

The bagasse was extracted without any toxic substance and was found to be effective for corrosion of J55 steel.

Findings

The inhibition efficiency of bagasse was more than 90 per cent in 3.5 per cent NaCl solution saturated with CO₂ for corrosion inhibition of J55 steel.

Research limitations/implications

The inhibition effect of Saccharum sinense bagasse extract on the corrosion of J55 steel in 3.5 weight per cent NaCl saturated with CO₂ solution was investigated by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization curve and scanning electron microscope.

Practical implications

It can be used as low-cost corrosion inhibitor.

Social implications

It is an environment-friendly corrosion inhibitor.

Originality/value

This work is original and carried out in Southwest Petroleum University, China. This is not communicated anywhere else.
