Organic Corrosion Inhibitors: Synthesis, Characterization, Mechanism, and Applications

Provides  comprehensive coverage of organic corrosion inhibitors used in modern  industrial platforms, including current developments in the design of  promising classes of organic corrosion inhibitors

Corrosion  is the cause of significant economic and safety-related problems that  span across industries and applications, including production and  processing operations, transportation and public utilities  infrastructure, and oil and gas exploration. The use of organic  corrosion inhibitors is a simple and cost-effective method for  protecting processes, machinery, and materials while remaining  environmentally acceptable. Organic Corrosion Inhibitors: Synthesis, Characterization, Mechanism, and Applications provides up-to-date coverage of all aspects of organic corrosion  inhibitors, including their fundamental characteristics, synthesis,  characterization, inhibition mechanism, and industrial applications.

Divided  into five sections, the text first covers the basics of corrosion and  prevention, experimental and computational testing, and the differences  between organic and inorganic corrosion inhibitors. The next section  describes various heterocyclic and non-heterocyclic corrosion  inhibitors, followed by discussion of the corrosion inhibition  characteristics of carbohydrates, amino acids, and other organic green  corrosion inhibitors. The final two sections examine the corrosion  inhibition properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide, and review  the application of natural and synthetic polymers as corrosion  inhibitors. Featuring contributions by leading researchers and  scientists from academia and industry, this authoritative volume:

• Discusses  the latest developments and issues in the area of corrosion inhibition,  including manufacturing challenges and new industrial applications
• Explores the development and implementation of environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional toxic corrosion inhibitors
• Covers both established and emerging classes of corrosion inhibitors as well as future research directions
• Describes the anticorrosive mechanisms and effects of acyclic, cyclic, natural, and synthetic corrosion inhibitors

Offering an interdisciplinary approach to the subject, Organic Corrosion Inhibitors: Synthesis, Characterization, Mechanism, and Applications is essential reading for chemists, chemical engineers, researchers,  industry professionals, and advanced students working in fields such as  corrosion inhibitors, corrosion engineering, materials science, and  applied chemistry.
