Iron pipe corrosion enhanced the transformation of iopamidol, a precursor of iodinated disinfection byproducts: The role of sulfate-reducing bacteria.

Long-term use of iron pipes leads to inevitable corrosion due to chemical and biological processes, with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) playing a significant role. The corrosion products generated will affect the transformation of micropollutants in pipe networks. This study investigated the effect of SRB-influenced corrosion (SIC) on the transformation of iodine-containing micropollutants, using iopamidol (IPM) as a model compound.
