Corrosion Inhibition Using Harmal Leaf Extract as an Eco-Friendly Corrosion Inhibitor

Extract of natural plants is one of the most important metallic corrosion inhibitors. They are readily available, nontoxic, environmentally friendly, biodegradable, highly efficient, and renewable. The present project focuses on the corrosion inhibition effects of Peganum Harmala leaf extract. The e...
