Rust dissolution and removal by iron-reducing bacteria: A potential rehabilitation of rusted equipment
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Iron reducing bacteria (IRB), to be used in rust dissolution and removal, have been isolated and enriched from different environmental sources. Comparative measurements revealed that a soil isolate (Geobacter sulfurreducens sp.) had the highest reductive activity equivalent to Shewanella oneidensis (strain CIP 106686, pure culture). Both reductive microorganisms can use Fe3+ ions as electron acceptors from soluble as well as from crystalline sources. In nutrient medium containing soluble Fe3+, the highest reductive activity obtained for G. sulfurreducens sp. and S. oneidensis was 93 and 97% respectively. Successful removal of rust from carbon steel coupons has been achieved with both experimental bacteria.
