Abstract: Corrosion is a pervasive challenge across various industries, leading to material degradation, structural failures, and increased maintenance costs. Traditional corrosion inhibitors, although effective, often contain toxic substances such as chromates, posing environmental and health risks. This has spurred the development of eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors that offer effective protection while being sustainable and non-toxic. These compounds form a protective layer on metal surfaces, inhibiting the electrochemical reactions that cause corrosion. This project investigated the potential of orange peels as an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor in industrial settings. Weight loss measurements were employed to evaluate the effectiveness of orange peel extract in inhibiting corrosion on metal surfaces. The experiment utilized three environments: a blank solution, a brine solution, and an acidic solution. The results (to be included) will provide insights into the viability of orange peels as a sustainable alternative to traditional corrosion inhibitors. Further research could focus on characterizing the active components in the extract, elucidating the inhibition mechanism, optimizing extract concentration, and conducting long-term studies under real-world industrial conditions.
