Corrosion treatment of industrial cooling water system by using Brassica oleracca (Cabbage) act as natural corrosion inhibitor

The objective of the present work is to analysis the physico – chemical parameters and corrosion treatment of Industrial cooling water by using Brassica Oleracca (Cabbage). The Industrial cooling water is taken from dye Industry and the physico – chemical parameters like pH, alkalinity, hardness, total dissolved solids, chloride, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and Iron was done by using standard procedures. Corrosion treatment was evaluated by metal weight loss method by using extract of Brassica Oleracca (Cabbage). The results revealed that the water sample is contaminated with some ionic pollutants which are responsible for corrosion for Iron pipe lines. Based on the corrosion treatment the weight loss measurement analysis showed excellent ability of Brassica Oleracca extract. The present study concluded that the cabbage extract a natural substance that is eco – friendly, economical and effective corrosion inhibition.
