Abstract Metal corrosion is a destructive process that must be managed carefully to prevent unintentional material losses. Most organic and inorganic compounds reported as inhibitors are highly toxic, causing severe environmental pollution. Recently, expired drugs have been tried green for many metals. The effectiveness of was investigated by techniques such weight loss, linear polarization, potentiodynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. surface morphology specimen metals tested before after the addition drug using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force X-ray diffraction, etc., confirm inhibition behavior drugs. Additional parameters quantum chemical calculations molecular dynamics study were computed, outcomes agreed with experimental results. These investigations demonstrated opened up possibilities managing disposal present paper gives an overview usage efficient control carbon steel mild steel. comparison performances different mechanism discussed. existing challenges faced in highlighted.

Discovering new classes of organic corrosion inhibitors, such as expired drugs, can provide cheaper, low-toxic, and highly efficient alternatives to the toxic counterparts that serve an recycling or disposal strategy. Antihypertensive drugs constitute one cheapest globally, have been reported effective inhibitors for a variety metallic materials in various environments. The inhibition mechanism these generally, involves adsorption on surfaces formation protective film retards attack substrates by corrosive entities media. drug molecular structure usually contains π-bonds, phenyl rings, polar functional groups (such –NH2, –OH, –CN, −Cl) which influence electron density within inhibitor framework also facilitate metal surface. Generally, most antihypertensive act mixed-type obey Langmuir isotherm revealing physisorption mechanisms except telmisartan, losartan potassium, atenolol when used nitric acid. efficiency is generally above 90% with spironolactone having highest 98.1% at 30 °C.
