Corrosion and Protection

This paper provides an overview of the Migratory Corrosion Inhibitor (MCI) technology, which aims to protect steel by building a self-replenishing monomolecular layer. The overview includes a discussion of various types of MCIs, such as amino-alcohol and amine salts-based inhibitors, that have been selected to minimize the corrosion rate. The paper also describes advanced experiments that have been conducted to find effective solutions for corrosion protection. Additionally, the development of four new chemical compositions are also suggested namely MCI1- (C7H6O+ E-MEA), MCI 2- (M-MEA+ MEA), MCI 3- (C4H11NO+ E-MEA), MCI4 (DMAE+ TETA) (4). The overview of MCI technology is intended to provide researchers with a deeper understanding of the uses and improvements of MCIs. The role of inhibitors in enhancing durability in concrete, and the problems and prospects associated with their use, are also discussed. Overall, this systematic literature review is a valuable resource for researchers interested in exploring the potential of MCI technology in various fields of research and practice.
