Electrokinetic nanoparticle treatment for corrosion remediation on simulated reinforced bridge deck
Source abstract
Abstract
ASTM G109 specimens were used in this work as these simulate the configuration of the bridge deck and subjected to elevated chloride levels. Nanoparticles which were 24 nm in size were driven directly through the concrete matrix and to the reinforcement using an electric field. The intent was to use the nanoparticles as pore blocking agents that could prevent chlorides from re-entering and accessing the rebar. Electrochemical, microstructure, and pore structure characterization was conducted on the electrokinetic nanoparticle (EN) treated and control specimens. At the end of post saltwater exposure period EN-treated specimens exhibited lower corrosion current densities, chloride contents below the threshold limit for new construction and 22 % reduction in porosity as compared to the controls. EN treatment was successful in mitigating reinforcement corrosion in concrete.
