Cathodic and anodic behavior of steel in water with saprophytic anaerobic bacterial flora
Saprophytic bacteria in the bacterial communities of overgrowths cause biocorrosion in hydroelectric power plants. In order to study bacteria in overgrowths in the Zaporozhskii reservoir at a depth of 2 m the authors fixed specimens - plate of steel St3 - for 30 days. The potentiodynamic (5 mV/sec) curves of cathodic and anodic polarization of steel St3 in sterile water and also in medium with Bacillus putrificus on the 34th and 57th days of the experiment are shown. The anodic curve of steel after 57 days in the medium with the bacteria containing 30 mg/liter of hydrogen sulfide, has a section with fall of process rate at potentials from -0.35 to -0.20 V; on the curves recorded after 12 and 34 days there are no such sections.
