Copper precipitation as consequence of steel corrosion in a flow-through experiment mimicking a geothermal production well
Abstract Decreasing production rates and massive precipitation of native copper (Cu(0)) were observed in the production well at the geothermal research facility Groß Schönebeck (Germany). The Cu precipitates filling up the well are a product of an electrochemical corrosion reaction between dissolved...
