Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is a major problem in the olive oil producing countries, because of its highly polluting power. Its physico-chemical characterization showed that this effluent has an acidic character (pH = 4.9) and it is rich in organic and mineral matter (chemical and biochemical oxygen demands, polyphenols, chlorides, sulphates, nitrites, nitrates, etc.). In this work, the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel (X70) immersed in olive mill wastewater sample solution, collected from an agro-industry, was studied. The obtained results show that the rate of corrosion increases because of the attack of acids exist in the OMW (Cl-, polyphenols, Ni, Fe). For two days of immersion, the potential stretches toward more positive values due to the oxidization of carbon steel. After the extension of the immersion until 7 days, we recorded the formation of the corrosion product on the surface of the working electrode. On the other hand, the analysis of surface samples by scanning electron microscope coupled with EDX confirms the formation of a layer obtained after the corrosion process.
