Title: Microbially influenced corrosion of materials
Description: Corrosion has been largely considered to be caused only abiotically, without regard of any biological influence. However, corrosion of organic materials, metals, minerals and plastics can be strongly influenced by microorganisms, enhancing the kinetics of the corrosion processes. This book presents case histories, theoretical explanations, and methods for the detection, sanitation and prevention of biologically influenced corrosion.
Subjects: Microbiologically influenced corrosion, Corrosion and anti-corrosives, Biodegradation
