1. Where did you get the 12:5:3 ratio in extraction process? Any basis?

2. Explain the Standard Salinity of the seawater.

ANSWER: On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of approximately 3.5%, or 35
parts per thousand.This means that for every 1 litre (1000 mL) of seawater there are 35 grams of
salts (mostly, but not entirely, sodium chloride) dissolved in it.Although a vast majority of seawater is
found in oceans with salinity around 3.5%, seawater is not uniformly saline throughout the
world.Seawater environment with a salinity ranging from 30 to 40 ppt consisting of ocean, bay, gulf
and channels-Philippine statistic authority
3. What are the similarities of the compound alkaloids, flavonoids, etc. that are relevant to
corrosion?
ANSWER: Organic inhibitors generally have heteroatoms. O, N, and S are found to have higher
basicity and electron density and thus act as corrosion inhibitor. O, N, and S are the active centers for
the process of adsorption on the metal surface. The inhibition efficiency should follow the sequence O
< N < S < P. The use of organic compounds containing oxygen, sulphur, and especially nitrogen to
reduce corrosion attack on steel has been studied in some detail.

raw material to inhibit corrosion?

39. Can you site different factors that may affect the ability of your raw material to inhibit
corrosion?
