Efficiency of Eggshell Waste as a Metal Corrosion Inhibitor SS316L Based on Green Technology in Seawater Media

Abstract Utilizing eco-friendly inhibitors offers an effective approach to combat pipe corrosion, as focus has increasingly turned towards options that are cost-effective, environmentally benign. The research investigates the application of waste from domestic chicken eggshells as a corrosion inhibitor. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, morphology, and chemical properties of 316L stainless steel when treated with these eggshell-based inhibitors. The study employed several techniques, including EPD coating, potentiodynamic polarization, SEM, and Raman spectroscopy in seawater. The findings indicated that the lowest corrosion rate was observed in specimens treated with a 14g inhibitor concentration, with an average rate of 6.24883×10 −4 mmpy with the efficiency 96.09%. Analysis SEM revealed that the sample without any inhibitors exhibited numerous small cavities on its surface. In contrast, the sample with a 14g inhibitor concentration showed a reduction in these cavities and a darker surface appearance due to the presence of a layer of adsorbed eggshell powder. Raman spectroscopy of the samples treated with 14 grams of eggshell powder, the final product of corrosion has disappeared, but there is still a α-FeOOH feature and its intensity is greatly reduced. drastic. This signifies that the use of an eggshell coating has effectively prevented corrosion.
