Abstract
A study investigated the corrosion inhibition efficacy of a composite formulation comprising zinc sulfate (ZnSO₄), calcium gluconate (CaGlu), and sodium tripolyphosphate (Na₅P₃O₁₀) on X80 steel in the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). This formulation was found to act synergistically with SRB-induced biomineralization, proposing a novel approach utilizing extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in concert with corrosion inhibitors for corrosion mitigation. The results demonstrated that zinc ions exhibited bactericidal properties, significantly reducing the microbial population in the solution. Under the influence of EPS secreted by metabolically active SRB, the inhibitor components facilitated the formation of an inorganic-organic heterogeneous composite film on the steel surface. This film exhibited excellent crack-resistant and spallation-resistant properties, demonstrating high stability. It synergistically inhibited the corrosion process of X80 steel. This work presents a new strategy for controlling microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in the oil and gas industry.
期刊介绍:
An International Journal Devoted to Electrochemical Aspects of Biology and Biological Aspects of Electrochemistry
Bioelectrochemistry is an international journal devoted to electrochemical principles in biology and biological aspects of electrochemistry. It publishes experimental and theoretical papers dealing with the electrochemical aspects of:
• Electrified interfaces (electric double layers, adsorption, electron transfer, protein electrochemistry, basic principles of biosensors, biosensor interfaces and bio-nanosensor design and construction.
• Electric and magnetic field effects (field-dependent processes, field interactions with molecules, intramolecular field effects, sensory systems for electric and magnetic fields, molecular and cellular mechanisms)
• Bioenergetics and signal transduction (energy conversion, photosynthetic and visual membranes)
• Biomembranes and model membranes (thermodynamics and mechanics, membrane transport, electroporation, fusion and insertion)
• Electrochemical applications in medicine and biotechnology (drug delivery and gene transfer to cells and tissues, iontophoresis, skin electroporation, injury and repair).
• Organization and use of arrays in-vitro and in-vivo, including as part of feedback control.
• Electrochemical interrogation of biofilms as generated by microorganisms and tissue reaction associated with medical implants.
