Abstract

The development of environmentally acceptable benign techniques using purely natural methods is a cost-effective procedure with long-term benefits in all areas. With this consideration, myco synthesized silver nano particles (AgNPs) were studied and it acted as an impending corrosion inhibitor in the environment. Initially, AgNPs were evaluated by physical and surface characterizations and this evidence demonstrated that RYREʼs water-soluble molecules played an essential role in the synthesis of AgNPs in nano spherical size. The myco synthesized of AgNPs has showed an antibacterial activity against corrosive bacteria in cooling water system (CWS). Hence, the AgNPs were used in biocorrosion studies as an anticorrosive agent along with AgNO3 and RYRE was also checked. For this experiment, the copper (Cu) metal (CW024) which is commonly used was selected, the result of corrosion rate was decreased, and inhibition efficiency (82%) was higher in the presence of AgNPs in system IV. Even though, AgNO3 and RYRE had contributed significant inhibition efficiency on Cu at 47% and 61%, respectively. According to XRD, the reaction of AgNPs on Cu metal resulted in the formation of a protective coating of Fe2O3 against corrosion. EIS data also indicated that it could reduce the corrosion on the Cu metal surface. All of these findings point out the possibility that the myco-synthesized AgNPs were an effective copper metal corrosion inhibitor. As a result, we encourage the development of myco-synthesized AgNPs, which could be useful in the industrial settings.
