The corrosion mechanism of carbon steel under deposit in the presence of sulfate reducing bacterium (SRB) was studied using surface analysis, weight loss and electrochemical measurements. Results showed that both the general corrosion and localized corrosion were considerably promoted by SRB under deposit. The corrosion rate of steel in the presence of SRB was approximately 6 times of that for the control according to the weight loss measurements. The maximum corrosion pit depth in the presence of SRB was approximately 7.7 times of that of the control. Both the anodic and cathodic reactions were significantly accelerated by SRB. A galvanic effect in the presence of SRB due to the heterogeneous biofilm led to serious localized corrosion.
采用表面分析、失重和电化学测量等方法,研究了碳钢在硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)存在下沉积物中的腐蚀机理。结果表明,SRB在沉积物下显著促进了全面腐蚀和局部腐蚀。根据失重测量结果,在SRB存在下钢的腐蚀速率约为对照样的6倍。在SRB存在下的最大腐蚀坑深度约为对照样的7.7倍。SRB显著加速了阳极和阴极反应。SRB存在下由于生物膜不均匀导致的电偶效应引发了严重的局部腐蚀。
