Can dynamic bubble templating play a role in corrosion product morphology? - feb. 2012 - 6 p. ; 025004-1/025003-7

Transcripción del resumen del autor: Dynamic templating as a result of cathodic hydrogen gas production is suggested as a possible mechanism for the formation of tube-like corrosion products on an unlined cast iron pipe in a drinking water distribution system. Mounds of corrosion product, with protruding tubes and freestanding tubes, were observed within a single 30 cm section of piping. Internal morphologies for all shapes were texturally complex although mineralogically simple, composed of two iron oxide/oxyhydroxides minerals: a-FeOOH (goethite) and Fe3O4 (magnetite). Static templating by either microorganisms or minerals was rejected as a possible mechanism for tube formation in this study.
