Electrochemistry Characteristic Of Carbon Steel Under Biofilm And Sulfide Film, Ze-Hua Dong, Xing-Peng Guo, Jia-Shen Zheng, Li-Ming Xu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Wire Beam Electrode (WBE) made of Q235 carbon steel was applied to study the heterogeneous corrosion beneath biofilm formed by Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) in culture and sulfide film in solution with 1% NaCl and 300 mg/L S 2- . The potential,galvanic density mapping,as well as polarization curve and Electrochemical Impedance Spectrum (EIS) were measured to predict the localized corrosion under biofilm and sulfide film.As a result,the mapping showed the potential fluctuation on the WBE surface decreased over time due to the conductivity of the biofilm and sulfide film.Therefore,the potential mapping could not be a criterion of localized corrosion under …
