A correlation between Malva sylvestris extracts molecules and their corrosion inhibition capabilities

Аннотация

Experimental and quantum chemical investigations have been coupled in order to determine anticorrosion potential of Malva sylvestris extract molecules. The plant extract is a mixture of chemicals of which only four are abundant. Two groups of molecules are evidenced using quantum chemical parameters. The electrochemical investigation has classified the plant extract as a mixed- type inhibitor. The %EI has been only 54.5% due to antagonistic effects of the extract molecules.

Keywords: corrosion, green inhibitor, Malva sylvestris.
