Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of metal surface anti-corrosion treatment, and in particular to a low-cost metal composite oxide anti-corrosion additive, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Marine engineering equipment faces severe corrosion challenges in high-salinity, high-humidity, and multi-phase coupled corrosion environments. The continuous release of broad-spectrum biocides in traditional anti-corrosion coatings not only easily leads to microbial resistance but also poses potential health, safety, and ecological challenges. Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable "green biofilm inhibitors" has become a key research direction in the field of microbial corrosion prevention technology.

[0003] Quorum sensing is a key mechanism by which bacteria regulate biofilm development through signaling molecules. Quenching signaling molecules effectively inhibits biofilm formation. Lactonases with the ability to quench signaling molecules are expensive and unstable, especially in marine environments, where high salt levels can inhibit their activity. Therefore, a biomimetic lactonase active center domain could help stabilize the quenching of signaling molecules, improving the reliability and service life of metal materials in marine environments.

[0004] High salt levels in marine environments accelerate electrochemical corrosion by destroying metal oxide films, while corrosive microorganisms such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) secrete acidic metabolites, causing a sudden drop in local pH. Therefore, the coexistence of high salt levels and microorganisms further exacerbates the corrosion process. Therefore, developing dual-functional composite materials that are both resistant to high salt levels and biofilm formation has important application value. Summary of the Invention
