Green Inhibitors: Anti Corrosive Propensity of Garcinia mangostana for Aluminum 1100

Abstract:

Corrosion is one of the key concerns during construction of a chemical plant.Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), a tropical purple fruit contains as many as 40 varieties of xanthones and exhibits good amount of anti oxidant property. The objective of this paper was to study the anti-corrosive property of Mangosteen on aluminium 1100. The study was designed to screen the inhibition efficiency of Mangosteen at various concentrations at pH 1. The Mangosteen extract was obtained by Soxhlet extraction from its dry hard pericarp and analyzed by UV methods.
