Abstract
It is well know that formation of a passive oxide film on aluminum can enhance its corrosion resistance. However, microbiologically species are able to damage this film. Microbial adhesion is widely accepted as important stage prior to the induction or initiation of biocorrosion. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Cladosprioum sp. have been commonly associated with the microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of aluminum and its alloys. In this study, the effect of an organic dye (Quinizarin), on the resistance of aluminum plates to MIC has been investigated by some corrosion monitoring methods such as FFT impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and SEM (scanning electron microscopy). In this work, the surface of aluminum plates were changed after exposing them (five types: only polished, anodized, anodized and colored, anodized and colored and sealed) to Pseudomonas aeuroginosa in ASW (artificial sea water) as a microbial culture. The results showed that, the mentioned color caused a decrease in the growth of bacteria, because the color acts a protected layer on the surface of aluminum. This characteristic can reduce intensity of biocorrosion on aluminum plates, so the anodized and colored and sealed plates have the most resistance to MIC, and it can be shown and proven by these techniques which are mentioned above.
