Improving the understanding of concrete sewer corrosion through investigations of the gaseous hydrogen sulfide uptake and transformation processes in the corrosion layer

Abstract: Sulfide-induced corrosion of sewer infrastructure costs multi-billion dollars globally. Sewer maintenance and management largely depends on the estimation of the sewer corrosion rate, which currently can be very rough due to poor understanding of details of the process. Hence improved understanding of the corrosion processes has a major beneficial impact globally through increased service life and reduced repair/replacement costs. The overall aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of sewer corrosio… Show more

“…However, the relationship between H 2 S concentration and the MIC rate remains unclear [19,20]. A wide range of H 2 S concentration-from 2 ppm to several hundred ppm-can trigger severe acid corrosion [21]. For example, severe corrosion was also reported in a low concentration environment (e.g., 4 ppm) [13].…”

“…First, moisture in the tunnel atmosphere condenses on the concrete wall, forming a moisture film. Then, due to carbonation, the surface pH of the concrete drops to around~9, and the SOB starts to colonize on the crown of the tunnel [21]. The H 2 S dissolved in the moisture film during the sulfide buildup is then oxidized by the SOB, which forms sulfuric acid.…”

“…Many types of microorganisms can trigger MIC, including bacteria, fungi, archaea and diatoms (Little & Lee, 2007;Sun, 2015;Usher et al, 2014). Among them, bacteria have been the subject of the majority of MIC research.…”
