Summary

Metal corrosion is one of the leading sources of economic and environmental issues, and it is a major concern for worldwide enterprises. The industry solves this problem in a variety of methods, including replacing metals and covering rusted metals. Metal plating is an inexpensive and cost-effective solution since there are numerous methods for creating a coating that protects the metal surface and separates it from the surrounding environmental conditions. In any case, the creation of polymers with additives for the paint industry protects the metal from corrosion, resulting in a lower corrosion rate and thereby reducing economic losses caused by corrosion. The significance of this work is in determining the efficacy of the corrosion-resistant coating made from cellulose derived from palm waste (fronds). It should be emphasized that in order to create the coating, holocellulose and then cellulose will be extracted from palm leaves using a batch reactor, and the cellulose will be blended with additives. The resulting paint layer is highly efficient, and it is anticipated that this research will result in a large reduction in corrosion rate, indicating the paint layer’s strength and resistance to acidic solutions. As a result, it has been demonstrated that biomaterials, such as palm leaves, can be utilized to create metal coatings that are effective in protecting against acid corrosion. Because cellulose is produced by a reaction, huge quantities will be produced using a complex batch reactor.
