Abstract
The inhibtive action of natural honey on the corrosion of C-steel, which used in manufacturer of petroleum pipelines, in high saline water was evaluated. The inhibition eciency was calculated using weight loss measurements and potentiostatic polarization
technique. It was found that, natural honey exhibited a very good performance as inhibitor
for steel corrosion in high saline water. The inhibition eciency increases with an increase in natural honey concentration. After some time, the inhibition eciency decreased due to the growth of fungi in the medium. The adsorption of natural honey on the C-steel was found to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
