Performance of different synergistic combinations of Rhizophora mangle L leaf-extract and sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7) admixtures on the corrosion of reinforcing-steel embedment in concrete immersed in 0.5 M H2SO4 medium were investigated in this paper. Non-destructive electrochemical measurements of corrosion rate (CR) and open circuit potential (OCP) were obtained for assessing steel-reinforcement corrosion in concrete slabs that were partially immersed in the microbial/industrial simulating test-environment. Probability distribution function (pdf) analyses as prescribed by ASTM G16-95 R04 of the scatter of corrosion test-data showed that while datasets of OCP distributed like the Normal the Gumbel and Weibull pdf’s the datasets of CR were best fitted by the Weibull pdf. Results from these identified the synergistic admixture of 6 g Rhizophora mangle L leaf-extract + 2 g Na2Cr2O7 with both optimal inhibition efficiency ? = 90.12% and synergistic parameter that indicated excellent synergistic interaction of the plant extract with Na2Cr2O7 chemical. That this synergistic admixture out-performed the also effective Na2Cr2O7 admixtures in the study bear suggestions of the suitability ofRhizophora mangle L leaf-extract as eco-friendly replacement of toxic Na2Cr2O7 inhibitor in H2SO4-immersed steel-reinforced concrete. This is potent with the advantage of reducing environment effect from lower Na2Cr2O4 usage in the control of corrosion in steel-reinforced concretes for the microbial/industrial environment.
