The paper presents the experimental study exploring the corrosion of carbon steel St3 samples in the presence of a microbiological community sampled at the Yeniseiskiy site and the microbiota of bentonite clays. Depending on the conditions, an average 3—30-fold increase in the corrosion rate of steel was observed due to the biogenic and biogenic-mediated processes. The maximum steel degradation effect was observed at a temperature of 50°C in the presence of sulfate ions under conditions being considered optimal for sulfate-reducing bacteria. The developed steel corrosion model was used to determine the activation energy of the aerobic and anaerobic corrosion process.

Reinforced concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials for marine structures. Due to the abundance of the aggressive ions such as chloride ions and sulfate ions in the seawater, the reinforcement exposed to the marine and costal environment are exposed to a high corrosion risk. Localized corrosion will occur once the passive film on the rebar is damaged. In this work, the corrosion behavior of the steel in the simulated pore solution containing with both sulfate ions and chloride ions are studied by using cyclic potentialdynamic polarization methods and the corrosion morphologies observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The test results show that the initial rebar corrosion is caused by the absorption of the chloride ions in the passive film. The sulfate ions nearly had no effect on the corrosion of the rebar in pore solution and it can further mitigate the pitting corrosion in chloride containing pore solution.
