Exploring the Experimental and Theoretical Studies and Inhibition Mechanism of Passiflora Incarnata Extract as a Novel Green Inhibitor for API 5CT N80 in an Aggressive Environment.

Corrosion is a crucial problem worldwide that heavily affects natural and industrial environments and can cause machinery breakdown and deterioration of construction assemblies, thus threatening the lives of humans and accelerating the consumption of natural metal reservoirs. In this study, we deployed passiflora incarnata extract (PIE) as an eco-friendly green inhibitor to prevent API 5CT N80 (CS-N80) corrosion in 1 M HCl. The chromatograms of the gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy analysis of PIE have identified 25 compounds.
