The Effect of Spill Contaminants on Marine Biofilms and Microbially-Induced Corrosion of Carbon Steel
… on the seafloor. Oil potentially accelerates corrosion of metal through a biologically-mediated process called microbially-induced corrosion (MIC). Introduction of spill contaminants may accelerate MIC on shipwreck hulls, which may place the integrity of historic shipwrecks at risk. The …

Performance of geopolymer concrete subjected to mineral acid corrosion and related to microbially-induced corrosion (MIC) of concrete in sewers
… show that high resistance under the static acid corrosion exposure condition cannot be extended to mean high resistance under the erosion-corrosion exposure condition for some concrete mixes. In this study, the static HCl test and the dynamic HCl test were used to measure the resistance of …

Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen Sulfide Emission Factors Applicable to Wastewater Wet Wells
… to odor nuisance, irritation, toxicity, and microbially induced corrosion. The extent of these problems depends on the emission rates of gases in the sewer atmosphere. To limit these kinds of problems an estimate of the gases emitted from the sewer network is to be known. In consideration to …

Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Microbial Induced Corrosion of Glasses
Microbially-induced corrosion (MIC) is an emerging topic that has huge environmental impacts, such as long-term evaluation of microbial interactions with radioactive waste glass, environmental cleanup and disposal of radioactive material, and weathering effects of microbes. Improved understanding …

Investigation of biofilms in copper tube corrosion and the survival of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> on alternative plumbing materials
An unusual form of copper tube corrosion, occurring in two hospitals, was investigated during two site surveys and due to the presence of characteristic perforations became known as pepper-pot pitting corrosion. The corrosion was found to occur predominantly in soft water areas but mainly in hot …
