C10H18N2Na2O10 inhibition and adsorption mechanism on concrete steel-reinforcement corrosion in corrosive environments

الملخص EN

C10H18N2Na2O10 (ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid disodium salt) inhibition and adsorption mechanism on the corrosion of steel-reinforcement corrosion in concrete immersed in corrosive environments were investigated in this paper.

For this, seven different concentrations ranging from 0% to 0.667% C10H18N2Na2O10 per weight of cement were admixed in steel-reinforced concretes immersed in saline and in acidic sulphate test-media and these were monitored using electrochemical techniques.

Statistical analyses of the scatter of measured data from these, as per ASTM G16-95 R04, showed that C10H18N2Na2O10> 0% admixtures portrayed excellent efficiency at inhibiting steel-reinforcement corrosion in the saline environment.

However, attaining comparably high inhibition of steel-reinforcement corrosion in concrete immersed in the acidic sulphate environment exhibited greater dependency on high C10H18N2Na2O10 admixture concentration in the steel-reinforced concretes.

Different models of adsorption isotherms bear indications of chemical adsorption, chemisorptions, as the prevalent adsorption mechanism of C10H18N2Na2- O10 on steel-reinforcement in both of the corrosive environments.
