The aim of this research is to study the anticorrosive behavior of a coating consisting of modified montmorillonite nanoclay as an inorganic green inhibitor. The anticorrosion protection for mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution is studied via weight loss, electrochemical methods, SEM, and XRD.

In this research, some physical properties such as the density, specific heat capacity, and micro-hardness of galena ore lumps purchased from the public market were determined. The microscopic study, using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), confirmed that the as-received galena ore was mostly lead sulfide (PbS). The XRD pattern of the galena powder also elucidated that all the peaks were assigned to PbS.
