| Abstract | Corrosion of carbon steel pipelines in the oil and gas industry presents operational and environmental challenges, requiring safer alternatives to toxic corrosion inhibitors. This study evaluates Silicon-Q-22 (SQ22) as a green corrosion inhibitor using electrochemical and surface analysis techniques. SQ22 achieved 88.24 % (EIS) and 83.31 % (PDP) inhibition at 125 ppm and exhibited minimal toxicity in zebrafish embryos (LC50 = 22.36 mg/L). Below 2 mg/L (NOEC), SQ22 caused no significant toxicity but induced minor cardiac effects. With high efficacy and low environmental impact, SQ22 emerges as a promising, sustainable alternative for corrosion control in industrial applications. |
