Mitigation of eco-unfriendly and costly microbial induced corrosion using novel synthesized Schiff base cationic surfactants

摘要

BACKGROUND Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are considered to be the major cause of microbial-induced corrosion. It contributes to many environmental and other costly industrial problems in the petroleum industry. Thus there is always a great need for producing new efficient biocides and biocorrosion inhibitors.
