SULPHURIC ACID CORROSION OF MILD STEEL IN THE STEM EXTRACTS OF Cnidoscolus aconitifolius PLANT

Key Points

• Mild steel showed significant corrosion when exposed to sulphuric acid with plant extracts.
• The corrosion rate increased with the concentration of sulphuric acid up to certain levels.
• Analysis of the reaction involved studying the stem extracts of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius on mild steel.
• Further exploration may enable new protective strategies in industrial applications.
