A Mini Review on Unassailable Inhibiting Roles of Some Compounds in Neutral Media

Abstract

This chapter deals with the use of some reported corrosion inhibitors in neutral media with a focus on a few prevailing metals (iron, aluminum, and copper) and highlights the evolving corrosion science needs for the advancements. As evidenced, our knowledge on inhibition mechanisms by such compounds in saline environments is still far from complete,and our ability to predict the future state of novel inhibitors is hindered due to several emerging global environmental issues. Nevertheless, electrochemical studies as well as some computational approaches provide rich opportunities to expand our understanding of the possible postulants of future corrosion inhibitors for neutral solutions.
