Abstract: Plant-extract inhibitors are attractive for mitigating marine and oil-and-gas corrosion while reducing toxicity and environmental persistence. Here, an aqueous Psidium guajava (guava) leaf extract was evaluated as a green inhibitor for mild steel in 5% NaCl at room temperature for 24 h, under both (i) conditions without H₂S and (ii) H₂S-souring simulated by in situ...

Abstract: Throughout recorded history, masonry has played a significant role in the construction of structures across diverse cultures and geographic regions. In the last century, concrete masonry units (CMU) have effectively replaced traditional red brick in masonry in the US with the exception of some veneer purposes. CMU structures are significantly stronger than traditional masonry and... More
