Effect of ethanolamine as a steel corrosion inhibitor in realkalization of carbonated concrete
This paper assessed the electromigration behavior of ethanolamine and its efficiency as a corrosion inhibitor of rebar during the realkalization. Cylindrical concrete specimen (diameter 45 mm, height 20 mm) with steel rebar (6 mm in diameter, 35 mm in length) were artificially carbonated and corroded in an accelerated manner with impressed anodic current. The specimens were realkalized in the electrolyte solution containing ethanolamine, while the steel rebars were connected to the cathodic current (200 mA·h, 1 A/m2). After 25 days of monitoring the repair process, experimental data revealed notable changes in electrochemical parameters. The corrosion potential increased from −627 mV to −236 mV, signifying a reduction in corrosion activity. The cathodic exchange current density decreased from 4.9 μA/cm2 to 2.3 μA/cm2, showing a decrease in the corrosion rate. Also, the pH value of the solution dropped to a comparatively lower level, the ethanolamine and potassium ion concentrations decreased from 22 to 30.54 g/L to 3.22 and 10.23 g/L, respectively. Moreover, nitrogen detection on the steel surface and varied levels of ethanolamine concentration at different depths in the concrete were also measured, both indicating a clear migration of inhibitor to the steel surface to form a passive film.
