BIOCHEMICAL CORROSION INHIBITION PROCESSES IN DIFFERENT WAYS

Abstract

Biochemical and microbiologically influenced corrosion inhibition (MICI) uses biological agents, microbial metabolism, or green organic compounds to protect metal surfaces from degradation. Key Biochemical Inhibition Processes • Consumption of Corrosive Agents • Beneficial microorganisms (such as oxygen-reducing or nitrate-reducing bacteria) consume dissolved oxygen or corrosive ions in the environment before they reach the metal. • Nitrate-reducing bacteria (NRB) outcompete and suppress harmful sulfatereducing bacteria (SRB), which normally produce corrosive hydrogen sulfide.

Keywords: biochemical, corrosion, inhibition, metal, bacteria
