Description:
This report covers mechanisms of microbial corrosion, including stainless steel; biofilms, particularly the nature of these on copper surfaces both in hospital water systems and in sea water; microbially induced corrosion of restorative dental materials; the effects of bacteria on cathodic protection; biofilm monitoring on cooling water systems and the use of organic biocides; case histories covering such diverse topics as the deterioration of archaeological stone and marble by lichens and algae, biocorrosion in drinking water, in underground sulphur mines and cooling water systems of petroleum refineries.
