Abstract : A study performed in 1990-1993 estimated a minimum of 12-13% of European
harbours affected by a particularly aggressive localized MIC phenomenon, called
Accelerated Low Water Corrosion (ALWC) occurring at or below the low water zone
of steel waterfront structures. ALWC is well recognized to affect harbours worldwide,
causing drastic reductions of the service life of steel structures due to unusual high
corrosion rates. Prevention and mitigation solutions exist, but are costly, while ALWC
prediction has so far not been possible due to the lack of understanding of abiotic
and biotic factors and of the mechanisms involved. Presence and potential
implication of sulfate-reducing and other sulfur bacteria in ALWC has been reported
in previous studies. However, the mechanisms and the characteristics of the biofilm-
deposit complex involved in ALWC remain unclear.
The objective of this study is to obtain a detailed characterization of ALWC biofilm-
deposit complexes taken from one European harbour in order to propose interaction
and corrosion mechanisms.
Several samples of corroded and non-corroded zones were recently taken from a
European harbour affected by ALWC since 20 years. These samples were studied
using different analytical methods: (1) cultivation targeting for the first time almost all
MIC associated-bacterial metabolic groups (sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB),
thiosulfate-reducing bacteria (TRB), thiosulfate-oxidizing bacteria (TOB), iron-
oxidizing bacteria (IOB), iron-reducing bacteria (IRB), manganese-reducing bacteria
(MnRB) and marine aerobic heterotrophic bacteria); (2) 16S rDNA PCR-DGGE
fingerprinting methods, (3) microscopic methods (e.g. SEM) and (4) analytical
methods to determine chemical composition (i.e. XRD, XRFS, and Raman
spectrometry).
All targeted bacterial groups could be enriched from samples originating from ALWC
and from the reference sites confirming that the presence of specific metabolic
groups is not an exclusive criterion for characterizing ALWC biofilm. However, IOB
activities appeared to be higher in ALWC than in reference samples indicating a
potential implication of this metabolic group, which was not yet considered in ALWC.
Analysis of SRB and TRB enrichments indicated specific populations associated with
ALWC.
Analysis of the different layers of biofilm-deposit complexes indicated the presence of
an oxygen gradient within the biofilm/deposit complexes. Green rust and iron sulfide
detected with SRB in the inner layers of ALWC samples indicated the occurrence of
SRB activities.
Further results and their interpretation will be discussed in the future to improve
ALWC diagnostics and prediction.
The work was carried out with a financial grant from the Research Fund for Coal and
Steel of the European Community (Project number: RFSR-CT-2008-00018).

Titre : The study of relationship between diversity of bacterial biofilms and marine corrosion of carbon steel in harbour environments
Année : 2008
Auteur(s) : Pineau S. Lefèvre Y. Dupont-Morral I. Marsset B. Scherrer P. Auzeby C. Bénaïssa B.
Abstract : Here is reported investigation aimed to elucidate relationship between accelerated marine corrosion of carbon steel and community structure of bacterial biofilms associated with corrosion products. The study was conducted in three different French coastal regions (English Channel, Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea). SEM-EDX, ICP-AES, XRD and micro-Raman spectrometry revealed stratification of corrosion products based on iron oxidation state, regardless of geographical location. Molecular biology techniques and standard cultivation methods demonstrated that bacteria in corrosion products were abundant and highly diverse. Moreover, corrosion products contained many species of diatoms and multicellular organisms. Characterisation of cultivable bacteria and culture-independent molecular fingerprinting method (CE-SSCP) revealed more than 20 bacterial ribotypes in the deposits. Molecular detection of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) was carried out using dissimilatory sulfite-reductase gene (dsrAB) and 16S rDNA probes specific for six SRB sub-groups.
The results of microbiological analysis demonstrated that the composition and diversity of bacterial populations associated with corrosion products are determined by the chemistry of different regions, i.e. steel surface, corrosion product surface and green rust / oxy-hydroxide interface, without clear stratification. Moreover, the study confirmed that, irrespective of the site investigated, bacterial species detected in corrosion products differed from the ones present in bulk water, thus emphasising the importance of biofilm sampling when investigating corrosion failures.
In view of the obtained results, the role of green rust as sulphate reservoir, the localised acidification induced by biogenically produced sulphur, the plausible role of extracellular polymeric substances in connecting bacterial cells and mineral corrosion products and the impact of multicellular organisms on the corrosion product stability are discussed.

Abstract : A une époque où la tendance serait à la stérilisation généralisée, les biofilms sont souvent une source de problèmes sanitaires et industriels, liés à des effets toxiques mais également à des impacts sur les infrastructures (modification des propriétés de surface ou corrosion par exemple). Ces communautés biologiques, de l’échelle micrométrique à centimétrique selon la thématique (biofilms bactériens ou évolution en macro-biofilms pluricellulaires), présentent une affinité toute particulière pour la plupart des matériaux, métalliques ou non. Il s’agit donc d’un processus normal, naturel et généralement bénéfique d’un point de vue écologique. Néanmoins, bien que les matériaux soient conçus pour résister à un environnement donné, les micro-organismes viennent fréquemment perturber le sommeil des gestionnaires de ces structures. Difficiles à modéliser, à prédire et à maîtriser, que ce soit pour l’expérimentation scientifique ou pour le suivi industriel, ces interactions entre biofilms et matériaux concernent tous les domaines de compétences mais principalement la science des matériaux, la microbiologie et l’électrochimie. Cette communication pluridisciplinaire, parfois laborieuse, offre de nombreuses perspectives de recherche. Une partie de cette problématique est illustrée par des exemples issus de cas industriels, particulièrement en eau de mer, où la distinction des frontières minéral/organique et bénéfique/préjudiciable est discutée.

Abstract : Investigations into chemistry and microbiology of deposits formed during marine corrosion processes on surfaces of carbon steel are scarce. During the last decade a small number of in situ studies, mainly related to accelerate corrosion reported in harbour environments, has been carried out in Europe, Australia and Asia. Specific corrosion products, such as iron-sulphides in black liquid localized in the internal layer (steel side) or magnetite and iron oxy-hydroxides in external layer (seawater side), were found across the thickness of the deposit. However, the formation and the type of minerals, e.g. iron sulphide species and green rusts were not clearly identified. In this study, the structural organization and the composition of corrosion deposits formed on steel piling structures in three French ports in the English Channel, Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea have been determined. Spatial distribution of corrosion products did not differ between the three sites and it was strongly correlated with steel corrosion behaviour in saline electrolyte. The weight of the inorganic (mineral) fraction in corrosion products was frequently less than 50% (w/v) of the total weight; the other fraction being composed of water, organic compounds and micro-organisms. Bacterial diversity in the deposit was investigated using cultivable and molecular fingerprinting methods. High abundance and diversity was found in the three sites, with slight differences between surface and interface layers. The results indicate that corrosion deposits can be regarded as habitats with constant mineral fraction and stratification dependent on and following iron oxidation state. The composition and diversity of bacterial populations associated with corrosion products are determined by the chemistry of different regions, i.e. steel surface, deposit surface and green rust / oxy-hydroxide interface without clear stratification. The study confirmed that bacterial species detected in corrosion products differed from the ones present in bulk water, thus emphasising the importance of biofilm sampling when investigating corrosion failures.

Titre : Electrochemical study of indoor atmospheric corrosion layers formed on ancient iron artefacts
Année : 2006
Auteur(s) : Pineau S. Lefèvre Y. Dupont-Morral I. Marsset B. Scherrer P. Auzeby C. Bénaïssa B.
Abstract : The degradation of iron-based materials by atmospheric corrosion is a well-know
problem that may have incidence, especially for the storage of radioactive nuclear wastes. It is
of importance to evaluate the damages due to this kind of corrosion within long time-periods.
Atmospheric corrosion is thought to be a cycling process for which some parts of the
corrosion layer may play a key role of electron acceptor during the wet periods. Studying
atmospheric corrosion layers formed on ancient iron coupons provides helpful information on
this phenomenon.
Several indoor atmospheric corrosion layers (0-800 years old), were selected from
different localizations in France. Each sample was scrapped from its iron substrate. The
resulting powder was mixed with graphite in appropriate proportions and the mixture was
pressed onto a stainless steel grid to constitute a composite electrode. The electrochemical
responses of the different samples were recorded under galvanostatic regulation, in a nearneutral
pH-buffered NaCl solution at 25°C. The E-t reduction curves allowed the
determination of two characteristic parameters, Et / 2 , the potential value obtained at half the
transition time, and Qt , the coulombic charge obtained at the end of the reduction. The
diminution of Et / 2 and Qt with the age of the corrosion layer showed that the “reduction
reactivity” decreases with time, suggesting a progressive stabilisation of the corrosion layer.
In a second part of the work, we synthesised several common ferric or ferrous/ferric
products (goethite, lepidocrocite, magnetite, maghemite, ferrihydrite) and compared their
reduction responses (product alone or mixture of 2 or 3 products) to those of corrosion
samples.

Abstract : Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) of carbon steel construction is widely observed in port environment in tidal and immersion zone. In the case of low water zone of microorganisms in the Accelerated Low Water Corrosion (ALWC) phenomena the influence has been identified. Most French laboratories, industrials and ports cooperate in research programs to study the bacterial consortia of marine biofilm on carbon steel surface. This study is conducted in laboratory for the fundamental approaches, but the applied approach is conducted through in situ tests in port environment in Atlantic Ocean, English Channel and Mediterranean Sea. This experimental system is developed for investigations in tidal and low water zone, with and without cathodic protection (permanent, after pre-colonization, with failure simulation). The research objectives are: to develop analytic methods, to estimate the most dangerous biofilm consortia, to estimate some risk factors for corrosive metabolism, and to estimate a prevention plan for port authorities.

Année : 2003

Abstract : Cathodic protection is widely used to prevent corrosion of steel constructions exposed to seawater. This protection causes a calcareous deposit as well as a biofilm formation. The Sulphate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB) and Thiosulphate-Reducing Bacteria (TRB) are involved in the steel biodegradation phenomena in marine environment. The surface colonization by these species under cathodic protection are described particularly for the TRB and with immersion periods of over 30 days. After a brief-review, preliminary studies explain the first results of our investigation in natural seawater and carbon steel during 4 to 8 weeks experiment. We have made experiments with natural strains of SRB/TRB, with monoculture of Desulfovibrio halophilus (SRB) and Dethiosulfovibrio peptidovorans (TRB), with potential a Cathodic Protection (CP) of –900 mV/SCE and –1000 mV/SCE and without CP. These results seem indicate that the effects of CP on the sulphide-producing bacteria metabolism is the reduction of their corrosive activity.

Abstract : La protection cathodique (PC) de l’acier au carbone en milieu marin est connue pour son effet inhibiteur vis-à-vis de la colonisation des genres bactériens aérobies [1]. En revanche, il a été démontré qu’un potentiel compris entre -900 mV/ECS et -1000 mV/ECS (généralement appliqué en zones portuaires françaises) est sans effet limitant vis-à-vis de la colonisation de la flore anaérobie de type sulfurogène telles que les Bactéries Sulfato-Réductrices (BSR) et Thiosulfato-Réductrices (BTR) [2][3][4][5]. Lors d’essais en laboratoire, il a été démontré que la rupture du système de PC accélère les phénomènes de biodétérioration, alors que ceux-ci semblent inhibés en temps normal [3][6]. Par conséquent, la PC modifierait le métabolisme bactérien et/ou l’action du produit du métabolisme bactérien. Plusieurs hypothèses sont émises, notamment le rôle de l’hydrogénase et l’inhibition de l’action des sulfures.
