Abstract
The eastern section of China's West-east gas transmission project is laid in acidic red soil. NRB are widespread in soils and play an important role in metal corrosion. In this article, the corrosion failure behavior and mechanism of X80 pipeline steel under the action of NRB in simulated acidic soil were studied. It was found that the biofilm of B. subtilis had significant inhibitory on the overall corrosion of X80 steel. Electrochemical results prove that the corrosion rate of the sterile group after 14 days of immersion was about 4.5 times that of the bacterial group. However, the biofilm promotes the formation of local corrosion pits. Confocal laser scanning microscopy images indicate that that the corrosion pit depth of the bacterial group (46.1 μm) was three times that of the bacterial-free group (15.7 μm) after 14 days. The pH of the acidic environment was slightly improved by B. subtilis. XPS results proved that B. subtilis complicates the corrosion products of X80 steel through its nitrate reduction ability and metabolism.
