Microbially Induced Corrosion and its Mitigation

Focusing on Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC), this book explores its unique electrochemical processes influenced by microbes, which can significantly damage metallic structures in various industries. Highlighting the staggering economic impact of MIC, estimated at $138 billion annually, it delves into affected sectors such as power production and marine environments. The latter chapters emphasize the need for better understanding of prevention and control methods, discussing promising mechanisms and green technologies aimed at mitigating MIC effectively.
