Plastic Waste Recycling as Green Corrosion Inhibitors for Steel in a Variety of Corrosive Media

The purpose of this chapter is to offer a series of studies aimed at reducing environmental pollution by turning plastic waste into valuable goods, as well as to assess the inhibitory effect of plastic waste on steel alloy corrosion in various aqueous conditions. In corrosive environments such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, nitric acid, and aqueous saline, poly (ethylene terephthalate), PET plastic waste was employed as an inexpensive and safe corrosion inhibitor for steel. The current section details the results of Poly's evaluation (ethylene terephthalate), Chemical and electrochemical evaluations of PET waste and modified products as corrosion inhibitors for steel in various media. The chapter summarize all scientific efforts and highlight the new method introduced by Reda Abdel Hameed which is a novel idea involved the green recycling of plastic waste via a solvent free green method and using the modified product obtained as green corrosion inhibitors.
