Performance of pomegranate peel extract coated rebars in concrete
This paper aimed to develop an affordable, eco-friendly, and accessible natural inhibitor derived from the peel of the pomegranate fruit. An extract was prepared from the pomegranate peel and utilised as a corrosion-resistant coating known as pomegranate peel extract (PPE) applied to the steel rebar. The corrosion resistance of the PPE-coated steel was evaluated using accelerated carbonation, impressed voltage, half-cell potential, weight loss, and accelerated corrosion tests. The carbonation test revealed that the uncoated steel rebar displayed patches, indicating carbonation, whereas the PPE-coated rebar was not affected, demonstrating an uncarbonated zone. Moreover, the half-cell potential test clearly indicated that the PPE-coated steel rod exhibited a moderate risk of corrosion with a potential of -247 mV. Particularly, the weight loss of the uncoated conventional steel was 40 % greater than that experienced by the PPE-coated rod. In the accelerated corrosion test, the PPE-coated rods took longer to develop initial cracks in the concrete, with durations of 182, 206, and 230 h for samples 1, 2, and 3, respectively, which were comparatively higher than those of conventional concrete. Thus, the test results of the PPE-coated steel were compared with those of the uncoated conventional steel, and the performance of the PPE-coated rod in terms of corrosion resistance was evaluated.
