Abstract EN
The synergistic effect of air pollution, brown clouds and greenhouse gasses is deleterious to human health and industrial products.
The use of toxic inhibitors, chemicals in water treatment plants, and anti-fouling agents in desalination plants has contributed to the greenhouse effect.
Conventional anti-corrosion techniques such as paints, coatings, inhibitor treatments, and cathodic protection paid no regard to greenhouse effect.
Work on eco-friendly anti-corrosion techniques is scanty and largely proprietary.
The use of nano-TiO2 particles introduced in alkyds and polyurethane-based coatings showed a higher corrosion resistance compared to conventional TiO2 coatings with significant photocatalytic activity to kill bacteria.
The use of UV radiations for photo-inhibition of stainless steel in chloride solution can replace toxic inhibitors.
Corrosion inhibition has also been achieved by using natural materials such as polymers instead of toxic chemical inhibitors, without adverse environmental impact.
TiO2 films exposed to UV radiation have shown the capability to protect the steel without sacrificing the film.
Self-healing materials with encapsulated nanoparticles in paints and coatings have shown to heal the defects caused by corrosion.
These innovative techniques provide a direction to the corrosion scientists, engineers, and environmentalists who are concerned about the increasing contamination of the planet and maintaining a green environment.
