After the Members of  The Discussion committee recorded their observations on the thesis, which were divided between explanation and correction and the student’s defense of his message and the end of the discussion, the committee decided to evaluate the thesis, and decided to grant the student a master’s degree with a Pass  grade.

Abstract:
This work aims to examine two types of local industrial waste (sodium silicate and styrene-butadiene) with different concentrations to be utilized as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution. The corrosion rates obtained from polarization measurements showed good inhibition efficiency, and the optimum concentration of sodium silicate at 3 ml with an inhibition efficiency of 84.5%, and for styrene-butadiene at 4 ml with an inhibition efficiency of 98.5%. The surface analysis by FTIR, FESEM, and XRD showed that these inhibitors contain many functional groups act as corrosion inhibitors, and the absorption and presence of inhibitor particles on the metal surface was also confirmed, forming a smooth protective layer that protects the metal.
