Abstract

Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis allow to detect the presence of green rust 2, the ferrous-ferric sulfated compound of composition, 4Fe(OH)2,2FeOOH,FeSO4,nH2O, mixed with magnetite at the surface of steel sheets corroded in a harbour area where the presence of sulfate reducing bacteria are also detected.
