Improvement corrosion properties of reinforcement concrete by corrosion inhibitors: A brief review

The penetration and diffusion of chloride ions into reinforced concrete structures is the primary cause of steel reinforcement corrosion; thus, this work focused on demonstrating and reviewing the beneficial effects of green inhibitors and organic inhibitors on chloride-induced corrosion. Another motivation for selecting and testing these types of inhibitors was to investigate their effectiveness in greater depth using a variety of various scientific methodologies and a variety of very advanced laboratory and materials testing procedures. In this method, the chosen eco-friendly inhibitor (so-called green inhibitor) might be compared with at least a less hazardous inorganic inhibitor, which is also cheap and usually effective in mitigating iron corrosion in the given environment.
