海洋科普 | 海洋微生物腐蚀与生物污损最新研究进展及海洋防腐防污新途径

海洋覆盖了约70%的地球表面积，海洋运输支撑着世界贸易中90%的货物运输。因此，海洋资源和海洋产业已成为经济发展不可或缺的支柱之一。然而，海洋环境对于海洋工业中使用的金属和其他材料来说是一个极其恶劣的腐蚀环境。首先，海水本身是一种腐蚀性很强的电解质。其次，海洋环境复杂，海洋生物及其代谢产物会共同影响材料，造成腐蚀。

The ocean covers about 70% of the earth’s surface area, and marine transportation supports 90% of the goods transported in world trade. Therefore, marine resources and marine industries have become one of the indispensable pillars of economic development. However, the sea can terribly corrode metals and other materials used in the marine industry. First, seawater itself is a very corrosive electrolyte. Second, the marine environment is complex, and marine organisms and their metabolites can work together to affect materials and cause corrosion.
海洋环境中发生的腐蚀是复杂的，因为发生的腐蚀过程多种多样，其中最特殊的是海洋生物种类繁多，包括微生物、植物和动物。海洋环境中发生的材料腐蚀有很大一部分 与材料、与海洋生物之间的相互作用有关。研究人员发现微生物影响腐蚀(MIC)和海洋生物污染两种主要机理。
The corrosion that occurs in the marine environment is complex because of the variety of corrosion processes. Among them, the most special is the wide variety of marine organisms, including microorganisms, plants and animals. A large part of the material corrosion that occurs in the marine environment is related to the interaction between materials and marine organisms. Researchers have identified two main mechanisms which are microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) and marine biological contamination respectively.
概述:海洋防腐蚀防污研究方法
(1)杀菌增效剂
在控制和预防SRB和IOB引起的MIC方面，杀菌剂增效剂是应用最广泛的化学制剂之一，它可以分散或破坏生物膜，使固着菌变为浮游菌，从而使杀菌剂更容易接触并杀死这些细菌
Overview: Marine anti-corrosion and anti-fouling approaches
(1) Biocidal synergist
In the control and prevention of MIC caused by SRB and IOB, biocide synergist is one of the most widely used chemical agents, which can disperse or disrupt biofilms and change the sequestered bacteria into planktonic bacteria, thus making it easier for biocides to reach and kill these bacteria.

The most popular adhesive is self-polishing copolymer (SPC). In SPC, the silyl/copper/zinc ester side groups are hydrolyzed to generate a hydrophilic surface, which is then polished by water flow to remove the adhering biofouling while releasing the carried antifouling agent to control the microbial activity in the biofilm.

Conclusion and outlook
% I4 }4 F7 r& GMicrobial corrosion and biological contamination of materials are the two major causes of structural damage and failure of equipment used in marine environments. Therefore, strategies to prevent MIC and biofouling are focused on controlling microbial activity in biofilms, adhesion of organisms and biofilm formation. New materials or technologies are used in conjunction with traditional biocides or antifoulants through synergistic effects to reduce their dosage while achieving better biocidal effects. On this basis, four research approaches are reviewed:
(1) Development of a biocide synergist that can disperse biofilm to enhance the bactericidal effect of traditional biocides.
