Corrosion of copper in anaerobic groundwater in the presence of SRB
Abstract
Copper is used in various applications that are incontact with natural environment. These environmentalconditions favor and enable formation of biofilms bynaturally occurring microbes. Copper has also been thecorrosion barrier of choice for the nuclear waste storagecanisters in the Finnish nuclear waste disposal program.The copper canisters should have lifetimes exceeding 100000 years to prevent the release of radioactive nuclidesto the environment. Copper is commonly considered to beimmune to corrosion in oxygen-free water. This is animportant argument for using copper as a corrosionprotection in the planned canisters for encapsulation ofspent nuclear fuel in Sweden and Finland. However,microbial biofilm formation on metal surfaces can enhancecorrosion in various conditions and provide conditionswhere corrosion would not otherwise occur. Microbes cangenerate conditions that enhance corrosion e.g. throughthe alteration of pH and redox potential, excretion ofcorrosion inducing metabolites, direct or indirectenzymatic reduction or oxidation of corrosion productsand formation of biofilms that create corrosivemicroenvironments. Corrosion may reduce lifetime ofequipment and structures. Microbial metabolites are knownto initiate, facilitate, or accelerate general corrosionor localized corrosion, galvanic corrosion, intergranularcorrosion and also enable stress corrosion cracking.Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) that produce sulfide arepresent in the repository environment. Sulfide is knownto be a corrosive agent for copper.Here we show results from corrosion of copper inanaerobic simulated ground water in the presence of SRBenriched from the disposal site. Electrochemicalmeasurements were proven to be useful in monitoring theinitiation and progression of general and localizedcorrosion of copper.
