Abstract: Corrosion inhibition plays a pivotal role in safeguarding metal structures and equipment in diverse industrial sectors. This review paper examines the latest developments in corrosion inhibitors, focusing on organic, inorganic, and mixed-type compounds. The review synthesizes a vast body of literature, highlighting key findings from experimental studies evaluating the effectiveness of organic, inorganic, and mixed-type corrosion inhibitors. It explores the synthesis methods, characterization techniques, and corrosion inhibition mechanisms associated with these inhibitors, providing critical insights into their structural and chemical properties. Moreover, the paper delves into theoretical studies, such as computational modeling and simulations, which have advanced our understanding of inhibitor behavior at the molecular level. A significant portion of the review is dedicated to exploring the application of corrosion inhibitors in acidic environments, where metal corrosion poses a severe threat. The analysis includes a detailed examination of the inhibitors’ performance under various acidic conditions, elucidating their potential in real-world industrial applications. The review also discusses the challenges and future prospects in the field of corrosion inhibition, outlining potential avenues for further research and development.
Keywords: Acidic environments; Corrosion inhibitors; Inorganic inhibitors; Mixed-type inhibitors; Organic inhibitors
