Abstract: People realized that microbes can cause serious microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) attack on metals since a century ago. In the past 20 years, the research relevant to MIC became more and more important due to severe damages and huge economic losses caused by microorganisms. Due to a lack of understanding, MIC has even been considered to be a“myth”in the field of corrosion, therefore, a theory which can cogently explain MIC phenomena is needed. The latest research result indicated that MIC is a bioelectrochemical process in essence. When the organic carbon is not available or fully consumed, metal such as iron would replace organic carbons as an electron donor for microorganisms, resulting in the occurrence of MIC. In addition, another theory related with the mechanism of MIC is that microbes could secrete corrosive metabolites such as organic acids. It is well known that corrosion is an exergonic process, and the microorganisms would utilize the energy released by the corrosion of metal to obtain their maintenance energy. Currently, electrochemical methods are widely used in MIC research, and the classical cathodic depolarization theory (CDT) was proposed based on electrochemistry. However, if only from the perspective of the electrochemistry, many phenomena of MIC can not be cogently explained. Researchers realized that the knowledge of bioenergetics and bioelectrochemistry may be the key to better understand the interactions between microorganisms and metals and then the process of MIC. This review is to summarize the recent works, and introduce the latest theories concerning the mechanism of MIC emphatically, such as biocatalytic cathodic sulfate reduction (BCSR) and electrical microbial influenced corrosion (EMIC). The introduction of the novel perspective to study MIC from bioenergetics and bioelectrochemistry is also provided in this review. Based on bioenergetics and bioelectrochemistry, the BCSR theory can cogently explain how and why MIC happens, which has been a longterm unsolved research problem.

Abstract:采用电化学方法、腐蚀失重法及表面分析手段研究了X80钢在含有铁细菌(IOB)的油田产出水中的腐蚀行为研究。结果表明,IOB明显的促进了X80钢的均匀腐蚀及局部腐蚀。在空白的油田产出水中,X80钢腐蚀速率随时间延长先减小后增大。含有菌的油田产出水介质中,X80碳钢腐蚀速率先快速减小后又快速增大。含有铁细菌(IOB)的体系形成的生物膜较为疏松,同时可以看到大量的腐蚀产物及IOB细胞。而且通过3D三维立体显微镜可以看出含有IOB体系表面腐蚀较为严重且具有点蚀坑产生。极化曲线分析和失重分析都表明IOB的存在促进了X80碳钢的腐蚀。铁氧化菌可以加速X80管线碳钢的腐蚀。
