Use of Biocides as Agents against Microorganism-Induced Corrosion Increases Ecological Safety

Use of Biocides as Agents against Microorganism-Induced Corrosion Increases Ecological Safety Five synergistic combinations of biocides have been identified, of which kathon plus copper sulfate is the most efficient against Serratia marcescens.

Abstract

Five synergistic combinations of biocides have been identified, of which kathon plus copper sulfate is the most efficient against Serratia marcescens. Depending on the ratio of the biocides, the active concentrations needed to maintain the synergistic effect can be decreased 4- to 20-fold. Combinations of biocides with salts promoting steel passivation (such as carbonates and phosphates) have been developed, which are more potent in decreasing corrosion-induced losses of mild steel than biocides and salts taken in isolation. Biocides should be introduced into systems susceptible to biocorrosion at the start of their exploitation, otherwise higher concentrations or synergistic compositions have to be used.
