Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of Dialium guineense based zinc nanoparticle material on the inhibition of microbes inducing microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in metals. Extract of leaf from the natural plant were used as precursor for zinc nanoparticle material, which was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM + EDS) instrument. Sensitivity of the developed zinc bio-nanoparticle material from this on different strains of microbes that are known to induce microbiologically influenced corrosion, in metallic materials, was then studied and compared with that obtained from a commercial antibiotic employed as control. Results showed that the biomaterial capped nanoparticle exhibited inhibited growth of the studied different MIC inducing microbes. Zones of inhibition, the sensitivity measure of the biosynthesized material against the microbial strains either surpassed or compared well with the zones of inhibition from the commercial antibiotic (control). These results engender implication on the prospects of the zinc bio-nanoparticle usages in corrosion inhibition and protection system for metals in microbial corrosion influencing environment.
