Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete durability performance testing and evaluation technology; specifically, it relates to an accelerated corrosion test system and test method for cement-based materials. Background Technology
[0002] Calcium dissolution refers to the process by which calcium in cement-based materials is continuously dissolved due to the concentration difference between the surface and the groundwater, resulting in changes in the microstructure of the cement-based materials and a decrease in their mechanical properties and bonding ability.
[0003] Research on calcium dissolution in concrete started relatively late, but has developed rapidly. Because the calcium dissolution process in ambient water is slow, it is not conducive to the study of long-term specimen performance. Currently, researchers mostly use deionized water immersion, chemical solution immersion, and electro-acceleration to speed up dissolution, but many problems remain. For example, deionized water immersion is slow, takes a long time, and has poor accelerated dissolution effect; chemical solution immersion causes significant pollution, is costly, and poses safety risks when storing reagents (ammonium nitrate).
[0004] Electrically accelerated dissolution can effectively avoid the above two situations. However, traditional electrical acceleration uses sheet-like specimens to dissolve in a single direction, resulting in uneven dissolution progress in different directions. This makes it impossible to accurately assess the mechanical and other macroscopic properties of the specimen after dissolution, severely limiting the widespread application of electrical accelerated dissolution. On the other hand, when specimens are placed statically in water using traditional electrical acceleration methods, the dissolved calcium ions cannot be carried away in time. This is inconsistent with the actual engineering environment and can lead to the accumulation of Ca(OH)2 or CaCO3 (derived from the carbonization of Ca(OH)2) on the cathode specimen surface, causing blockage and inaccurate results over long periods. In addition, the actual service conditions of concrete are often accompanied by water flow erosion at different velocities, which exacerbates calcium dissolution and has not been considered in traditional dissolution detection. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems of the prior art, this invention provides an accelerated dissolution test system and method for cement-based materials, aiming to solve the problems of uneven dissolution in all directions of electrically accelerated dissolution specimens, inaccurate long-term results, and inconsistency with actual water flow scouring environments. This enables rapid, real-time, and comprehensive testing of the dissolution performance of concrete under different environments.

[0015] The data acquisition module is connected to the speed detection device, temperature detection device, pressure sensor, calcium ion sensor, and pH detection device via cables to collect experimental data and interact with the control terminal with a display screen via a communication module.
[0016] The experimental method of the present invention based on the aforementioned accelerated dissolution experimental system for cement-based materials is characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0017] Step 1) Set the specimen into a hollow ring shape and place an anode metal rod in the middle. Place the specimen in the slot of the corrosion test chamber and connect the top of the specimen to the flow guide shroud.
[0018] Step 2) Turn on the constant temperature system to keep the temperature of the etching solution or deionized water constant, and fill the cathode constant temperature water supply tank and anode constant temperature water supply tank with deionized water.

Detailed Implementation
[0033] To address the problems mentioned in the background section regarding electrically accelerated dissolution, such as uneven dissolution in different directions of traditional specimens, accumulation and precipitation of dissolved calcium ions at the cathode, and insufficient research on the impact of water flow erosion on dissolution, this invention proposes an experimental system for accelerating calcium dissolution in cement-based materials.

[0041] As a preferred option, a variable speed pump is selected to simulate the scouring effect of different flow velocities;
[0042] As a preferred option, a non-metallic, non-conductive guide shroud is selected and connected to the top of the specimen by screws to reduce the impact of water flow on the top of the specimen, guide the direction of water flow and ensure stable flow velocity. The top of the guide shroud has an opening to connect the anode circulating water pipe and the anode metal rod, and the opening is sealed with epoxy resin.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, to ensure a constant water flow velocity at the bottom of the specimen, four outlets are arranged along different directions of the circular dissolution test chamber, and connected to the cathode circulating water pipe via a four-way pipe, such as... Figure 2 As shown, ①, ②, ③, and ④ are the four water outlets arranged at the bottom of the corrosion test chamber.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the real-time corrosion detection module is used for real-time detection of pH, dissolved calcium ion content, specimen mass loss and refresh of the corrosion solution during the corrosion process, and includes: a pressure sensor 13 placed at the bottom of the specimen, a calcium ion sensor 14 placed in the cathode constant temperature water supply tank 1, and a pH value detection device 15 placed in the cathode constant temperature water supply tank 1 and the anode constant temperature water supply tank 4 respectively.
[0045] Preferably, the pressure sensor is arranged at the bottom of the specimen and in the slot at the bottom of the corrosion test chamber to detect changes in the specimen's mass during the corrosion process.

An anode metal rod is arranged in the middle of the specimen, and a cathode stainless steel ring is arranged around the specimen, so that the specimen is radially etched under the action of an electric field, and the ring specimen is etched uniformly in all directions.
[0051] Step 2: Turn on the constant temperature system to keep the temperature of the etching solution or deionized water constant, and fill the cathode constant temperature water supply tank 1 and the anode constant temperature water supply tank 4 with deionized water. If the etching solution is a mixture of mud and sand, treat the mud and sand in advance and place it in the cathode water supply tank 1 and turn on the stirrer.

[0053] As a preferred option, when using a mixture of mud and sand as the solvent, the mud and sand content and fineness can be set according to the actual conditions of the water area. Pre-treatment of the mud and sand aims to reduce harmful ions in the mud and sand and their impact on pH value. The mud and sand need to be rinsed multiple times with deionized water until the rinsing solution is neutral.
[0054] Step 3: Turn on the cathode water pump 3a and the anode water pump 3b and adjust them to the predetermined flow rate. Monitor the corrosion environment of the specimen 10 through the flow rate detection device 11 and the temperature detection device 12.
[0055] As a preferred option, the flow velocity can be determined based on the water environment of the project.
[0056] Step 4: Set the etching voltage and etching time, start the electro-accelerated etching module, and select electro-acceleration, water flow scouring or a combination of both according to the testing requirements to etch the specimen;
[0057] As a preferred option, the voltage is selected based on the dissolution mode. If the flowing water environment is not considered, the voltage is selected as 30-60V. If the current scouring and electro-acceleration coupling effects are considered, the voltage is selected as 10-30V.
[0058] Step 5: Use pressure sensor 13 to detect the weight loss of specimen 10 in real time during the etching process, calcium ion sensor 14 to detect the dissolved calcium ions in real time, and pH detection device 15 to monitor the pH value of the etching solution in cathode constant temperature water supply tank 1 and anode constant temperature water supply tank 4.
[0059] Preferably, the cathode circulating water should be replaced when the pH of the cathode circulating water is greater than 12.5.
[0060] Step 6: The data acquisition module collects data from each sensor in real time to guide environmental monitoring and calculation of dissolution kinetics at different ages;
[0061] Step 7: After the dissolution is completed, take out specimen 10 and test its mechanical properties, dissolution depth, surface morphology, chemical composition and microstructure, so as to obtain the relationship between dissolution kinetics and the macroscopic and microscopic properties of cement-based materials, and use it as the basis for the dissolution resistance of cement-based materials.
[0062] As a preferred method, the mechanical properties were tested in accordance with GB / T50081-2019 "Standard for Test Methods of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete". The erosion depth was detected by phenolphthalein titration. The appearance morphology was determined by observation and binocular microscopy. The chemical composition was detected by thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis in the eroded and non-eroded areas respectively. The microstructure was detected by scanning electron microscopy and mercury porosimetry.
[0063] As a preferred approach, by combining the changes in macroscopic and microscopic properties of the specimen before and after dissolution, and the changes in pH values of the anode and cathode, the amount of calcium ion dissolution, and the amount of specimen mass loss detected in real time during the dissolution process, the dissolution kinetic data of the specimen can be calculated, and the relationship between dissolution behavior and concrete performance can be established.
[0064] Example:
[0065] Taking laboratory-made concrete as an example, its mix proportions are shown in Table 1:

[0068] Concrete specimens (φ100mm×200mm) with an internal central hole were molded. Before the dissolution process began, the axial compressive strength, oven-dry weight, chemical composition of the slurry, and microstructure of the specimens were measured.
[0069] The specimen is placed in the bottom slot of the corrosion test chamber and fixed. All components are connected and adjusted to ensure that each component can work normally and be effectively controlled.
[0070] Based on the actual service environment of the project in the Yangtze River basin, the experimental constant temperature environment was determined to be 20℃, the water flow velocity to be 1.5m / s, and the sediment content to be 40mg / L. An accelerating voltage of 30V was determined to ensure the ion transport rate.
[0071] Start the constant temperature system and inject constant temperature deionized water into the water supply tank after the temperature is constant. If the influence of silt is considered, add silt into the cathode constant temperature water supply tank and start the agitator at the same time to stir the etch solution in advance and test the silt content and uniformity at the outlet.
[0072] The water pump is adjusted according to the set water flow rate to start accelerating the dissolution of the specimen. During the dissolution process, the calcium ion content, pH value, specimen mass loss, water flow rate and temperature in the dissolution solution are detected and collected in real time through the real-time dissolution detection module and the real-time environmental control module.
[0073] The etching time was set to 28 days according to the test requirements. After etching, the surface morphology changes of the specimen were recorded. The cylindrical specimen was cut along its cross-section, and the etching depth was determined using the phenolphthalein method. The compressive strength of the etched specimen was determined according to GB / T50081-2019 "Standard for Test Methods of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete". The mineral composition and microstructure of the specimen were tested using XRD, TG, SEM and other methods. All of the above are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0074] Based on the calcium ion content, pH value, and dissolution depth data detected during the dissolution process, dissolution kinetics calculations were performed. Combined with the differences in macroscopic properties and microstructure of the specimens before and after dissolution, the dissolution resistance of cement-based materials was assessed, and the impact on the service life of the project was predicted.
[0075] This invention discloses an accelerated dissolution experimental system and method for cement-based materials. It not only allows for the determination of the dissolution amount of cement-based materials under specific environmental conditions (flow rate, temperature, sediment, and electric field), but also overcomes the inaccuracies in macroscopic performance studies and long-term monitoring results caused by calcium ion enrichment in traditional electro-accelerated dissolution methods. Compared with existing technologies, this invention represents a significant technological advancement, possessing prominent substantive features and remarkable progress.
[0076] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All modifications made based on the design principles of the present invention, and modifications made without creative effort, should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
