Effect of Urea on Microbiologically Induced Corrosion of Carbon Steel in Soil

Abstract: The effect of urea on microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) of carbon steel in soil was investigated using weight-loss measurement, electrochemical polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Urea tends to accelerate corrosion of carbon steel in inoculated soils and inhibit corrosion in sterile soils. In inoculated soils, FeS2 was detected in corrosion products because of the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). The EIS results showed that the process was controlled by concentra… Show more

“…All OCPs distribute in a narrow range from −0.75 to −0.70 V vs. SCE. The specimens in the SRB-inoculated soil solution display a relatively negative OCP under the same level stresses, which was a common phenomenon for carbon steel in near-neutral pH soil environments [32]. According to the mechano-chemical theory by Gutman [33,34], the electrode potential of metals is affected by applied stress, and a tensile stress (Δ P > 0) would decrease the electrode potential and enhance the corrosion tendency of metals.…”
