The Dean of the College of Education for Pure Sciences publishes a scientific article on the effectiveness of the inhibition of Luxol Fast Blue dye on the corrosion of carbon steel

scientific article

Mrs. Dean of the College of Education for Pure Sciences, Prof.Dr. Hamida Idan Salman, obtained the acceptance to publish a scientific article tagged with the title (Inhibiting Effectiveness of Luxol Fast Blue on the Corrosion of Carbon Steel) by the Scientific Articles Committee at the Presidency of Karbala University after fulfilling all publication conditions. The Dean of the College stated that corrosion is defined as the damage (partial or total) that occurs to the metal or alloy in terms of appearance or performance due to the interaction that occurs between the metal or alloy with the surrounding environment, whether gaseous or liquid, or it is damage or loss of physical and chemical properties For metals or equipment as a result of the external environment containing factors or elements such as oxygen, moisture, pollutants, and others, as it causes these metals and equipment to damage or negatively change known as the phenomenon of corrosion. Corrosion is one of the problems that metals and equipment are exposed to, and many petroleum installations such as petroleum lines suffer from it. And gas, tanks, and distillation towers, as happens in many other important sectors such as the sectors of industry, maritime transport, equipment and military installations. Corrosion causes severe damage to the facilities, which results in huge costs represented in production losses and consequently lack of efficiency in addition to the application of resistance methods corrosion. The Dean also referred to corrosion inhibitors, which are a substance or mixture of chemicals that, when present in the environment in low concentrations, prevent or reduce metal corrosion without leading to a significant interaction with the components of the environment. Corrosion inhibitors can be in the form of solid, liquid, gaseous materials (vapor phase) and can be used in solid media such as concrete, paints (organic coatings), liquid media (water, organic solvents, aqueous solutions) and gaseous (air or water vapor) . Organic compounds are widely used to prevent or reduce metal corrosion, as these materials act on anodic sites or cathodic sites or both, as in anodic and cathodic inhibitors.
