CORROSION INHIBITION EFFECT OF LEAVES OF MOMORDICADIOICA FOR COPPER (CU) IN HNO3

This research work is performed to find out the effects of aerial part that is leaves of Momordicadioica as corrosion inhibitor on copper (Cu) in nitric acid medium. This plant is angiosperm of the family of Cucurbitaceae and this is well-known in India and other peripheral regions of South Asia. The plants are believed as rich in phytochemicals that have much good potential. Through this research it is obtained that leaves extract of this spiny gourd is very useful to hinder the corrosion effect on copper in nitric acid contamination. Hence, a cheap and eco-friendly inhibitor of corrosion is found for copper coating through this study. Therefore, the materials and methods are presented in this research paper to demonstrate the process of experiment, and final observation indicates the efficacy of the leaf extract of Momordicadioica as the corrosion inhibitor green product.
