Abstract
Characterization and experimental modelling were employed for investigating prospects of Phyllanthus muellerianus as eco-friendly/sustainable material for reducing concrete steel-reinforcement corrosion in industrial/microbial environment. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy/Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy of the inorganic and organic constituent of the leaf, as well as total-corrosion effects of the leaf-extract admixture in steel-reinforced concrete were requisitely analyzed and interpreted. Results showed that Phyllanthus muellerianus is constituted of non-toxic level of inorganic/heavy metals, useful phytochemical constituents and essential heteroatoms that makes it potent with excellent reduction effects on the total-corrosion model of steel-reinforcement in concrete immersed in the industrial/microbial simulating-environment studied. © 2015 The Authors.
