Abstract:
area of science and technology. In last few decades, use of plant extracts as metallic corrosion
E
inhibitors has attracted significantly attention. Plant materials are ideal green candidatures to
PT
replace traditional toxic corrosion inhibitors. Reduced environmental risk, lower cost, wide
spread availability and high corrosion inhibition effectiveness make the plant extracts as
CE
suitable candidates to replace the expensive and toxic traditional synthetic corrosion
inhibitors. Literature survey reveals that different extracts such as leaf, root, stem, bark, pulp,
AC
fruit, etc. have been effectively employed as sustainable inhibitors for the corrosion of
different metals and alloys. Present review article describes the collection of published work
that has been carried out on the topic “plant extract as corrosion inhibitors for metals and
alloys in aggressive aqueous solutions”. The article includes extracts of diverse part of the
plants for diverse metals and alloys in the several electrolytic media.
Keywords: Plant extract, Green inhibitors, Phytochemicals, Green chemistry, Metals and

PT
suggests that at global level, corrosion causes economic loss of about 2.5 trillion US dollars
which constitutes nearly 3.4% of total GDP. However, by implementation of existing
RI
corrosion preventing technologies in a proper way, the cost of corrosion can be reduced up to
15-35% (375-875 billion US dollars). Because of its association with very high economic and
SC
safety losses, corrosion is an important issue that has to be addressed by scientists and
engineers working in the field of corrosion discipline and engineering throughout the world
NU
[7-13]. Several methods of corrosion prevention have been developed among which use of
synthetic corrosion inhibitors is one of the most popular and economic methods due to their
MA
ease of synthesis and application and high effectiveness at relatively low concentration.
These organic compounds adsorb over the surface of metals and alloys through their
heteroatoms and π-electrons and form protective surface barrier thereby protect metals from
D
groups such as –CN, -NO2, -NH2, -OH, -COOH, -COOC2H5, -OCH3 etc. those act as
PT
adsorption centers during adsorption of these compounds on the metallic surfaces [14-18].
Additionally, these polar functional groups enhance the solubility of the compounds in the
CE
polar electrolytic media like H2O, HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4, HNO3 etc. [14-18].

component reactions (MCRs) that combines three or more reacting molecules in single step.
The MCRs have emerged as substantial tool for the green synthesis of organic compounds
particularly in association with ultrasound and microwave irradiations [23, 25-31]. Further,
the use of different plant extracts [32-35], chemical medicines (drugs) [36-40], and ionic
liquids (designer chemicals) [41-47] have also gained sufficient consideration towards the
development of green corrosion inhibitors. Plants are characterized by their unique property
to convert radiant energy (sunlight) into life providing organic compounds (carbohydrates)
PT
via the process of photosynthesis. They are also natural source of several raw materials such
as fruit, vegetables, woods, oils, resins, and dyes those have several commercial uses in our
day-today life [48, 49]. In addition to these uses, plants are also characterized by their ability
RI
to continuous uptake of “greenhouse” CO2 gas, highly toxic metals and other pollutants
SC
during the process of photosynthesis, which is an essential process from environmental
cleaning point of view. The photosynthesis cleans the surrounding water, soil and aerial
NU
environments [50, 51]. Literature revision proposes that till today numerous reviews articles
have been documented for corrosion inhibition such as drugs [38, 52-54], DFT as tool for
corrosion study [55, 56], chromate independent green corrosion inhibitors [57-60], organic
MA
compounds and ionic liquids as inhibitors [16, 17, 19, 61-67], inorganic corrosion inhibitors
[68-70], plant extracts as inhibitors [67, 71-72] and so on. As for as the availability of review
D
articles on plants extracts are concerned, they are outdated and have very limited content and
number of cited papers. In contrast, present review article collects several recent and past

papers in which plant extracts have been tested as corrosion inhibitors for several electrolytic

highly demanded because of the increasing demand of green chemistry in all field of science
and technology. Because of their natural and biological origin along with their ecofriendly
isolation, plant extracts can be regarded as green and sustainable materials to be used as
inhibitors for metals and alloys corrosion in aggressive media including HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4
and HNO3 [73]. There are several methods available in literature for preparation of plant
extracts. The detail description of these methods is beyond the scope of the present report.
However, the several parameters that should be considered during preparation of plants
extracts are described briefly:
3
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
(a) Solvents for extraction: Generally, solvent diffused into plant tissue, solubilized and
finally extracted the compounds (phytochemicals) present over there [74, 75].
Therefore, choice of the suitable solvents for extraction is very important for effective
extraction. Extensive literature survey reveals that water is the best solvent owing to
its simplicity, readily availability, non-toxic nature, non-flammable, non-hazardous,
uniquely redox-stable, inexpensive properties [76-79]. However, preparation of some
plant extracts requires organic solvents like ethanol and methanol.
PT
(b) Extraction temperature: Temperature has very marked effect on the effective plant
extract preparation. A very low temperature limits the effective solubility of the
phytochemicals, while very high temperature cause the decomposition of the active
RI
constituents (phytochemicals). Generally, extraction is being carried out in the
SC
temperature range of 60-80 ᴼC in order to find optimal extraction yield [80, 81].
(c) Plant Drying Temperature: Very often, the plant materials are allowed to dry at
NU
room temperature in shade. However, this type of drying requires several days,
weak, even months; therefore oven drying has also gained significant
advancement.
MA
Because of the toxic behaviour of traditional corrosion inhibitors for living being and
D
their non-biodegradable nature, the demand corrosion inhibitors of natural and biological
E
origin that have either no or little adverse effect on environment is highly anticipated [82-84].
PT
In this context plant extracts (phytochemicals) are being utilized extensively as green and
effective alternative of tradition toxic corrosion inhibitors. Leaf is the phytochemically richest
CE
part of the plants where the synthesis of phytochemicals takes place. The consumption of
plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors is a green and environmental friendly approach because
AC
most of the phytochemicals are water soluble metabolites like organic acids, Quinone’s,
phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids, catechins, and terpenoids and co-enzymes etc.
including amino acids, plants derived proteins, polysaccharides and vitamins [85-87] that
have no significant adverse effect on living organisms and environment. Because of the low
cost, renewable nature, reliability, versatile, biodegradable, and biocompatible and ease of
application, several plant extracts have been used earlier.
The leaf is the richest part of the organic compounds where their synthesis takes place
via photosynthesis. Several cost effective methods have been developed for preparation of
plant extracts [88, 89]. It is important to mention that extract every plant extract contains
4
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
several organic compounds that can effectively adsorb on metallic surface and behave as
corrosion inhibitors. These organic compounds contain heteroatoms like oxygen, sulfur,
nitrogen and phosphorus in form of polar functional moieties, aliphatic and aromatic
heterocyclic rings that can act as adsorption centers [90-92]. The adsorb inhibitors film
separates the metals and alloys from the corrosive environments. The adsorption behavior of
organic corrosion inhibitors affected by several factors such temperature, nature of metal and
corrosive environment, electronic structure, solubility, and planarity of the inhibitor molecule
PT
etc. [93, 94]. The use of plant extracts as alternative for organic corrosion inhibitors have
several advances such as reduced environmental risk as majority of plan extracts are
tolerable, biodegradable and non-toxic [95] and are associated with negligible adverse effect
RI
of the surrounding environment [96]. Additionally, the synthesis of phytochemical by
SC
utilization of highly toxic greenhouse gas (CO2) through photosynthesis is important for
another aspect of green chemistry. The phytochemicals are naturally available in huge
NU
amount and can be isolated economically [97, 98]. The plants are widely dispersed
throughout the world and wide range of effectiveness as each plant extract generally contains
various active phytochemicals [99, 100].
MA
Mild steel is widely used as building materials in different industries due to its high
mechanical strength and low cost [101, 102]. However, it is very reactive by means of
E
chemical and electrochemical reactions with the components of the environment, and thus
PT
loss of metal component occurs due to corrosion. Several attempts have been made
previously in order to mitigate these unwanted reactions particularly during some common
CE
industrial developments like acid cleaning, acid descaling, acid pickling, etc. among which
use of corrosion inhibitors is one of the best methods. Several leaf extracts have been
AC
employed as effective corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in different electrolytic media.
Before their commercial and industrial applications, the metallic surface often
requires removal of rusts and scales using strong acid such as H2SO4, HCl, HNO3 and H3PO4
[103, 104]. This process of acid cleaning is generally known as acid pickling [105].
Although, hydrochloric acid is more expensive and reactive than sulphuric acid, however, it
is more commonly being used as pickling agent than sulphuric acid because waste liquor can
be recovered more economically in case of hydrochloric acid. Since hydrochloric acid is
5
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
more reactive than sulphuric acid, pickling is generally carried out in hydrochloric acid
solution at lower temperature, while pickling with sulphuric acid requires higher temperature.
Apart from that, the residual chloride (ferrous or ferric) produced from hydrochloric acid
pickling process can be rinsed off more readily than the residual sulphates (ferrous or ferric)
produced due to sulphuric acid pickling. Several leaf extracts have been used as effective
inhibitors for mild steel/ HCl system. Soltani et al. [106] described the inhibition effect of
Salvia officinalis leaves extract on 304 stainless steel corrosion in 1M HCl solution using
PT
computational and experimental methods. Potentiodynamic polarization study revealed that
S. officinalis leaves extract is acted as mixed type inhibitor. Adsorption of the S. officinalis on
metallic surface obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. DFT was performed on the
RI
several components of the S. officinalis in order to describe its inhibition performance. These
SC
authors postulated that out of fifteen active components, the inhibition activities of the S.
officinalis extract is mainly attributed due to presence of phenolic components such as
NU
luteolin 7-glucoside, sagecomarin, luteolin 7-glucoronide, rosmarinic, carnosol and
salvianolic acid. The phenolic components possess heteroatoms such as N and O that can act
as adsorption centers. Li et al. [107] studied the inhibition property of Osmanthus fragran
MA
leaves extract (OFLE)) on carbon steel in 1M HCl. The study was performed using
electrochemical, AFM, FT-IR and DFT methods. Adsorption of the OFLE on carbon steel
D
followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization study revealed the OFLE acted as
mixed type inhibitors. DFT study was also performed in order to explain the mechanism of
E
corrosion inhibition. The inhibition effect of alkaloids extract (AE) of Geissospermum leave
PT
on C38 steel in 1M HCl was investigated by Faustin et al. [108] using electrochemical and
surface study (SEM and EDX) methods. They found that AE acted as good corrosion
CE
inhibitor and gained the maximum inhibition efficiency of 92% at 100 mg/ L concentration.
Adsorption of AE on C38 surface followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Further, the
AC
AE acted as mixed type inhibitor. SEM and EDX analyses supported the adsorption behavior
of AE on metallic surface. The comparative study of AE of and geissospermine alone
indicated that the geissospermine is the active compound of the AE responsible for the
inhibition performance of the G. leave. Orubite and Oforka [109] investigated the inhibition
performance of extracts of leaves of Nypa fruticans. The test material was mild steel
corrosion in hydrochloric acid solution using weight loss and hydrogen gas evolution
methods. Authors compared the in the inhibitory efficiency of N. fruticans with that of 1,5-
diphenylcarbazone and observed that at 30 ᴼC N. fruitcans exhibited 75.11% inhibition

Similar to hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid is also being used widely for removal of rusts
and scales from the surface of metals and alloys. In fact sulphuric acid is second most common
acid used for descaling and acid pickling processes. These acid cleaning processes require use of

There are several leaf extracts that have been reported as green and efficient corrosion
inhibitors for mild steel in hydrochloric as well as in sulphuric acid solutions. Some of the
common and important leaf extracts investigated as inhibitors for mild steel in both the acidic
solutions are Ginkgo (Chinese name Yingxing) [177], Occimum viridis (OV) [178], Occimum

CR
(Lupinous albus) [188]. Generally, these leaf extracts act as mixed type corrosion inhibitors,

extracts obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Adsorption of Trifoliate fenugreek [181] on mild

steel surface follows Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms in HCl and H2SO4 solutions,

1.4.5. Leaf extracts as inhibitors: Mild steel/ NaCl, petroleum/ CO2 system
Similar to hydrochloric and sulphuric acids, NaCl and CO2 are very common electrolytic

media. Although, several types of organic compounds have been reported as effective corrosion
inhibitors however the use of plant (leaf) extracts as corrosion inhibitors in these media is
PT
relatively scare. Abdel-Gaber and coworkers [189] studied the inhibition effect of the olive (Olea
europaea L) leaf extract on steel corrosion in brine solution (saturated solution of NaCl) using

reduction process. The inhibition effect of ethanolic extract of Ricinus communis leaves on mild
steel corrosion in aqueous solution containing 100 ppm NaCl is reported by Sathiyanathan et al.
[190]. The extract showed maximum inhibition efficiency of 84% at 300 ppm concentration.
Similar observation was reported for inhibition effect of Neem and African star apple leaf
extracts on mild steel corrosion in sodium chloride and polluted seawater media, respectively
[191, 192]. Abd-El-Khalek and coworkers [193] studied the inhibition behavior of Nicotiana

Mild steel is widely used metallic alloy for construction of pipelines through which
transportation of liquid and gaseous chemicals being carried out. However, generally organic
AN
acids of lower molecular weight such as acetic acid are reported as corrosive agents for the
internal wall of pipeline. Although, use of organic corrosion inhibitors is the first line of defense

against corrosion in this type of medium, however, recently, few plant (leaf) extracts have been
conveyed as corrosion inhibitors. Chaudhari and Vashi [196] reported the inhibition property of

effect of Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract in phosphoric acid solution has also been

steel corrosion in nitric acid solution is reported by Pankaj and Gargi using weight loss method

1.5. Other part of the plant extracts as inhibitors for mild steel
Although, leaf is the most common part of the plants that have been inspected as corrosion
inhibitors because it is most chemically reach part of the plants where the biosynthesis of these

Similar to the mild steel, aluminum is the widely used metals in various industries as machinery,
reaction vessels, pipes and chemical battery. The extensive use of the aluminum based on the
PT
fact that unlike to most of the metals, aluminum resistant to corrosion due to presence of surface
oxide layer [259]. However, when it expose to corrosive environments like acidic or basic
CE
solutions the protective oxide layer dissolves resulting into rapid corrosion of the aluminum
[259]. The use of synthetic corrosion inhibitors is the most common measure for protection of
AC
the aluminum corrosion. However, several plant extracts have also been employed as effective
corrosion inhibitors for aluminum in various electrolytic media. Oguzie [260] explored the
inhibition effect of Sansevieria trifasciata on aluminum corrosion in 2M HCl and 2M KOH
using gasometric technique. He demonstrated the effect of KI, KBr and KCl on the inhibition
effect of the S. trifasciata. Results showed that in the presence of halide ions %IE follows the
order: KI > KBr > KCl. S. trifasciata inhibits the aluminum corrosion by adsorption mechanism
which follows the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. S. trifasciata exhibited maximum %IE of
93.6% and 82.3% in 2M HCl and 2M KOH, respectively in the presence of KI at 30ºC. There are

2. Phenomenon of synergism
Obviously, each plant extract contains several active phytochemicals/ constituents that can
adsorb at the surface of metal and electrolyte. However, addition of some inorganic salts such as
KCl, KBr and KI in the corrosive medium can add significant improvement in the protection
ability of plant extract towards metallic dissolution. Oguzie investigated the inhibition property
of Occimum viridis (OV) extract on mild steel in 2M HCl and 1M H2SO4 gasometric technique at
T
30 and 60°C temperatures [178]. From the results derived in the study several interesting things
IP
were observed. In hydrochloric acidic medium, addition of KCl decreases the protection power
CR
of the plant extract. Whereas, addition of KBr and KI particularly at lower temperature (30°C)
protection efficiency of the extract increased significantly. In sulphuric acid medium, addition of
KCl, KBr and KI enhances the protection ability of the extract. In both electrolytic media, the
US
effectiveness of halides obeyed the order: KI > KBr > KCl. He observed similar observation for
the inhibition effect of Hibiscus Sabdariffa on mild steel corrosion in 2M HCl and 1M H2SO4
AN
[308]. Similar observation has also been reported on the inhibition effect of Garcinia kola on
mild steel in 5M H2SO4 [309]. Obot and coworkers [310] described the synergistic effect of KI
M
on the inhibition efficiency of Aningeria robusta in HCl electrolytic solution. Using hydrogen
evolution method, these authors observed that addition of KI at all studied concentration of the
ED
extract causes noteworthy increase in the protection ability at both studied temperatures (30 and
60°C). The A. robusta extract at 50% v/v concentration showed inhibition efficiency of 48%
PT
only. Addition of KI at 5 mM concentration in the same solution causes increase in the inhibition
efficiency up to 72%. While studding the inhibition effect of Ipomoea invulcrata on aluminum
CE
corrosion in 1M HCl it was observed that addition KSCN and KI showed the synergistic effect
[311]. The KI showed better synergistic effect as compared to the KSCN. The phenomenon of
AC
synergism by halide ions have also been reported for other plant extracts such as Sida acuta for
mild steel in 1M H2SO4 [163], Telfaria occidentalis for mild steel 1M H2SO4 and 2M HCl [312],
Ocimum basilicum for aluminum in 2M HCl and 2M KOH [280], bamboo leaf extract for cold
rolled steel (CRS) in 0.1 M H3PO4 [313], coconut coir dust extract for mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4
[314], Nypa Fruticans’ Wurmb for mild Steel in 0.5 M HCl [315], Cordia sebestena L. for mild
steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 [316], Chamaerops humilis for mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 [317] and
Pachylobus edulis for mild steel in 2M H2SO4 [318].
25
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
There are several articles are available in literature in which inhibition efficiency of more than
one parts of the plant extract have been evaluated as corrosion inhibitors on the same metal/ alloy
using same electrolytic medium. Umoren and coworkers reported the inhibition behavior of
leaves and stem extracts of Sida acuta on mild steel 1 M H2SO4 using hydrogen evolution and
weight loss methods [153]. These authors observed that at 0.5g/L concentration leaves extract
T
showed the inhibition efficiency of 59%, while at the same concentration stem extract showed
IP
the inhibition efficiency of only 15%. The difference in the inhibition efficiencies of different
CR
extracts of the same plant is attributed to the presence of different constituents/phytochemicals in
the extracts of different plant parts. Generally, leaves are relatively richer part of the plants
where the chemical synthesis of the phytochemicals takes place by the process of photosynthesis
US
therefore leaves extract should show higher protection ability as compared to the other plant
extract that was observed by Umoren and coworkers. In another study the roots, stem and leaves
AN
extracts of olive (Olea europaea L.) have been investigated as effective corrosion inhibitors
towards mild steel corrosion in 1M HCl [319]. In the study the authors again observed that
M
leaves extract showed the highest inhibition efficiency of 89.83%. Results showed that all
extracts showed the inhibition efficiencies of more than 88% and act as mixed type corrosion
ED
inhibitors. Among the root (RT) and leaf (LV) extracts of Maesobatrya barteri, the LV showed
better inhibition efficiency towards mild steel dissolution in 1M H2SO4 [320]. The adsorption
PT
behavior of RT and LV extracts obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. While, among the
root (RT), seeds (SD) and leaves (LV) extracts of Azadirachta Indica, towards the inhibition
CE
efficiency of mild steel corrosion in 2.0 M H2SO4 follows the order: SD > RT > LV [321].
AC
The use of plant extracts as metallic corrosion inhibitors is recommended for future research in
the area of corrosion inhibition because they are cost-effective, easily available, biodegradable,
biocompatible, non-hazardous, removable materials, highly effective and environmentally
benign. Recently, application of ionic liquids and compounds synthesized from multicomponent
reactions (MCRs), ultrasound and microwave irradiations and plant extracts has emerged as
green practices for metallic corrosion inhibition. However, numerous aspects need to be taken
into account prior to their use in the real testing environments. Before testing them in real

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
T
indirectly (eg. LD50, LC50 and EC50). It has been well established that only a few specific
IP
components of a plant extract are responsible for the inhibition of metallic corrosion and
CR
therefore it is recommended that separation and corrosion inhibition behaviour of each and every
constituent should be carried out. The isolation of the extract constituents (phytochemicals) can
US
be easily achieved using GC-MS and HPLC-MS techniques. Additionally, processing (extraction
method) of the extract is one of the most important techniques because of several problematic
AN
aspects such as long processing time and high processing temperature in conventional extraction
procedures. Therefore, there is a high demand of unconventional extraction practices which
M
require relatively low processing time and optimum operating temperature. Moreover, the effect
of solvents undertaken for extract preparation on the surrounding environment has also be
ED
considered as traditional extraction procedures which require the use of highly harmful organic
solvents. Supercritical fluids represent a new class of alternative solvents for the preparation of
PT
plant extracts which permit selective separation of phytochemicals from the extracts at moderate
temperatures and optimum processing time. Although some reports are available on the effect of
CE
halide and other inorganic ions on the inhibition behavior of plant extras however still there are
sufficient space to use explore phenomenon of synergism. From the reports described herein it
AC
can be predicted that plant extracts are the most effective inhibitors towards metallic corrosion.
Roots, stem, seed and other parts plant extracts have been evaluated but their leaves extract have
not been evaluated therefore it is also recommended that leaves extracts of these plants should be
studied. Considering the huge availability of literature on plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors
particularly for mild steel and aluminum, the use of the extracts should be explored to other
metals and alloys like zinc, nickel and magnesium. In the majority of the researches reported so
far the computational methods are not taken into so much consideration. Recently, computational
techniques particularly density functional theory based quantum chemical calculations and
27
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
molecular dynamics (MD) and/ or Monte Carlo (MC) simulations have emerged as new tools to
describe the effectiveness of a given series of compounds tested as corrosion inhibitors. Each
plant extract contains several constituents (phytochemicals) therefore their relative effectiveness
towards the metallic surface should be determined by these relatively newer and greener
computational techniques. The greenness of these techniques are based on the facts that they
employed software simulations that give reasonably satisfactory prediction about the chemical
reactivity and adsorption behavior of the chemical compounds at the metal/ electrolyte interfaces
T
without using any toxic chemicals and solvents. The MD and MC simulation studies can provide
IP
orientations (horizontal or vertical) of inhibitors (phytochemicals) at the interfaces. In view of
CR
this, the application of DFT and simulations (MD and MC) studies should be explored in the
field of metallic corrosion inhibition using plant extracts. In summary, isolation and analysis of
US
each phytochemicals/ constituents, phenomenon of synergism, use of leaves extracts and
computational (DFT, MD and MC) techniques should be explored in the field of metallic
AN
corrosion inhibition using plant extracts.
5. Conclusions
M
From the ongoing discussion it can be concluded that plant extracts are ideal candidates to
ED
replace traditional expensive and toxic inorganic and synthetic organic corrosion inhibitors. The
plant extracts contain several phytochemicals/ constituents that can easily adsorb and inhibit
PT
metallic corrosion. Several types such as leaves, roots, stem and other extracts have been
examined as effective corrosion inhibitors for mild steel, carbon steel, aluminum and other
CE
metals and alloys in acidic (HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, H3PO4), basic (NaOH) and neutral (NaCl)
media. It is observed that leaf is the phytochemically richest part of the plant where the synthesis
AC
of phytochemicals takes place. Phenomenon of synergism has also be searched and described
particularly in the presence of halide ions (KX). A significant enhancement in the protecting
ability of the plant extracts have been observed in the presence of halide ions which facilitate the
adsorption of phytochemicals at the metal/electrolyte interfaces. Generally, leaves extract
showed better inhibition performance as compared to the extract of other extracts of the same
plants.
