Abstract

Abstract Biofilms of Leptothrix discophora SP-6, grown on 316L stainless steel (SS), ennobled the open circuit potential to 410 mV SCE . X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) identified MnO 2 within these biofilms. Field exposed SS showed similar ennoblement after 30 days. XPS analysis of these samples revealed a mixture of different manganese minerals. Electrochemical reduction of MnO 2 was studied using electroplated SS. Plated MnO 2 was reduced amperometrically. The process was interrupted at different reduction stages. XPS analysis of remaining oxides showed that MnO 2 was reduced through MnOOH to Mn 2+ . We conclude that biomineralized MnO 2 may increase corrosion rates by serving as a cathodic reactant.
