Corrosion of copper pipes may release high amounts of copper into the water, exceeding
the maximum concentration of copper for drinking water standards. Typically, the events with …

Drinking water quality should remain constant from the drinking water treatment plant to the
consumer's tap. However, water quality characteristics might be affected by interactions with …

We report the use of a single layer of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (SL-hBN) as
the thinnest insulating barrier to microbial corrosion induced by the sulfate-reducing bacteria …

Background Despite being necessary, copper is a toxic heavy metal that, at high
concentrations, harms the life system. The parameters that affect the bioreduction and …

Regardless of the long record of research works based on microbiologically influenced
corrosion (MIC), its principle and mechanism, which lead to accelerated corrosion, is yet to …

This work analyzes the premature corrosion failure of a welded AISI 304 stainless steel (SS)
pipe network in well water (WW) for 6 months. Laboratory tests were performed to analyze …

Copper corrosion by the action of aerobic A. sulfureus in neutral medium was investigated.
The bacteria form biofilm and colonize on the copper metal surface resulting in corrosion …

The inner walls of the drinking water distribution system (DWDS) are expected to be clean to
ensure a safe quality of drinking water. Complex physical, chemical, and biological …

The role of biosurfactants producing hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria (HDB) on
biodegradation and bio-corrosion was evaluated. Biodegradation efficiency (BE) of …

The nuclear waste disposal concept in Finland and Sweden is based on a multi-barrier
system, where the solid spent fuel is placed in a cast iron container that is further enclosed in …
