Abstract:

The corrosion of carbon steel by H₂S has always been one of the major challenges in oil and gas production, storage and transportation. In this study, the corrosion of Fe and Fe-Mo alloy in H₂S-containing salt water and the growth of corrosion products during continuous anodic polarization have been analyzed.

About the Lecturer:

Andreas Erbe studied chemistry at the University of Halle, Germany, and specialized in physical chemistry of interfaces. He obtained a doctoral degree in 2004 for a thesis dealing with in situ characterization of the interface between colloidal particles and surrounding liquid from the University of Potsdam, Germany, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. After two postdocs, one in bioelectrochemistry at the University of Leeds, UK and one in nanobiophysics at Academia Sinica, Taipei, Chinese Taiwan. He joined the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 2007. There, he worked as a group leader for the Interface Spectroscopy Group. At the end of 2015, he joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at NTNU, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway, as professor of corrosion and interface chemistry. His research interests centre around the elucidation of mechanistic aspects of corrosion processes and electrochemical reactions by in situ and operando spectroscopy as well as preparation of model systems to study their degradation.
