Abstract

The effects of the symbiosis of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and total general bacteria (TGB) on the microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of carbon steel were investigated in this research. The SRB was the main corrosive bacterium, and TGB induced slightly general MIC. The symbiosis of SRB and TGB induced more severe MIC and pitting corrosion than SRB. The main corrosion products were FeS, Fe2O3, and FeOOH. The presence of TGB facilitates MIC and pitting corrosion by providing a locally anaerobic shelter for SRB. An MIC mechanism of the symbiosis of SRB and TGB was proposed.
