Accelerated microbial corrosion of 316 L SS in extreme acidic environment by a typical bioleaching strain Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
Source abstract
Abstract
Severe corrosion of 316 L SS was caused by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in an extremely acidic bioleaching condition. The corrosion current density ( i corr) increased from 118 ± 10 nA cm −2 in sterile M882 medium to 575 ± 63 nA cm −2 in A. ferrooxidans broth. Leaching of pyrite further accelerated the corrosion of A. ferrooxidans and the i corr reached 2.55 ± 0.21 μA cm −2. In-depth investigation indicated Fe 3+ played a significant role for corrosion in extremely acidic conditions. A non-contact corrosion mechanism caused by A. ferrooxidans was proposed. This work can provide perspective on the corrosion protection of metals in bioleaching and biomining.
