Corrosion inhibiting effect of a green formulation based on seed oil for iron in acid rain solution.

This study examines the development of a new green and eco-friendly formulation derived from seed oil (labeled as FOD) and its application as a corrosion inhibitor to protect iron which is subject to corrosion phenomena that become important especially in acidic environments as acid rain. Physicochemical properties and fatty acid analysis of seed oil were performed and they demonstrated that the oil is a major source of unsaturated fatty acids, in particular linoleic acid, with a percentage of 73.388%.
