An overview on emerging green organic corrosion inhibitors: sustainable solution for oil and gas industrial applications

Corrosion remains a significant challenge across various industrial sectors, resulting in substantial economic losses, environmental hazards, and safety risks. Traditional corrosion inhibitors, though effective, often pose toxicity and environmental concerns, prompting the need for sustainable alternatives. The demand for eco-friendly and sustainable chemical species is increasing as industries seek to replace conventional toxic substances. This review emphasizes organic inhibitors derived from natural sources, such as amino acids, biopolymers, plant extracts, and environmentally benign synthetic compounds. Additionally, compounds synthesized through ultrasound and microwave irradiation, polyethylene glycols,…
