Green rust compounds (GR), i.e., Fe(II-III) layered double hydroxides, are important transient resulting from the corrosion of steel in seawater. The sulfated variety, GR(SO42?), was reported as one main components product layer, while chloride GR(Cl?), more rarely observed. carbonate GR(CO32?), is favored by an increase pH and forms preferentially cathodic areas metal surface. Since Mg(II) abu...
