Abstract

Corrosion including biocorrosion is an important, but poorly supported topic in water systems for which there is a definite need for advancements, and microelectrode techniques can offer the potential for advancing the field because they enable focus at the interfaces where reactions are occurring. Further development of this area of research has great merit for sustainable water infrastructure management. The use of microelectrodes has been improved our understanding of disinfectant biofilm penetration and associated biofilm viability and in situ reactivity at metallic pipes, leading to better biofilm control strategy and corrosion control practice for clean and safe drinking water.
