Existing detection technologies are mainly aimed at unhardened concrete or raw material sea sand, but there are significant defects in the detection of chloride ions in hardened sea sand concrete: Complex occurrence state of chloride ions: part of the chloride ions in hardened concrete are chemically combined or physically adsorbed by cementitious materials, and the traditional acid dissolution method cannot completely release them; Low detection efficiency: the boiling method of Appendix B of “Technical Specification for Detection of Chloride Ion Content in Concrete” (JGJ / T322-2013) needs more than 2 hours and the dissolution rate is less than 80%; High dependence on equipment: although the chloride ion resistant concrete proposed in patent CN116768576A optimizes the material ratio, it does not provide a detection method for hardened concrete; Many error sources: patent CN202011516162A improves the detection precision of chloride ions in sea sand by heating and stirring, but does not consider the interference of cementitious materials on detection.
[0003] In addition, patent CN202110307089A uses electromigration method to accelerate the extraction of chloride ions, but needs special equipment and has poor penetration for hardened concrete; patent CN202310598551A analyzes chloride ion diffusion through fractional order model, which belongs to theoretical simulation rather than actual measurement method; the traditional silver nitrate titration method relies on manual end point judgment and is easily interfered by sulfur ions, resulting in poor repeatability.

[0022] (2) Acid leaching treatment: 5.00g of powder (accurate to 0.0001g) is mixed with 40.00mL of 8% nitric acid solution (mass concentration) and placed in a 70°C constant temperature water bath. A 40kHz ultrasonic wave (power 200W, treatment time 30 minutes) and a 400W microwave treatment (2450MHz, 8 minutes) are started simultaneously.
[0023] (3) Precipitation and titration: After filtration, 12.00mL of 0.05mol / L silver nitrate standard solution (theoretical requirement is 10mL, excess 20%) is added to the filtrate, and silver chloride precipitate is separated by centrifugation. The volume of potassium thiocyanate solution consumed V1=8.32mL is determined by back titration with 0.05mol / L potassium thiocyanate solution, with the end point determined by a potential jump (ΔE=58mV) and the solution changing from milky white to light red.
[0024] (4) Take 5.00mL of the filtrate, add 2mL of mercury thiocyanate color developing agent, and measure the absorbance A=0.358 at 460nm. According to the calibration curve equation C 游离 =0.0215A+0.0032, the free chloride ion concentration, C 游离 =0.0215×0.358+0.0032=0.0109% is calculated.
[0025] Background value deduction and total content calculation: The blank test measures the cement background chloride ion content C 本底 =0.007% The total chloride ion content is calculated according to the formula: .
[0026] Example 2 High chloride ion concentration sample Concrete chloride content 0.15%, step (2) nitric acid concentration increased to 10%, mixing ratio 1:5, microwave power 500W for 6 minutes. The rest is the same as example 1.
[0027] Calculation result: titration consumes potassium thiocyanate VI = 6.15 mL, spectrophotometrically measured free chlorine 0.132%, final content 0.143% (theoretical value 0.150%, error -0.007%).
[0028] Example 3 Low particle size grinding Step (1) ground to 0.08 mm, step (2) water bath temperature 60℃, ultrasonic time 40 minutes. The rest is the same as example 1.
[0029] Effect: dissolution rate increased to 97%, but need to control microwave power (300W) to avoid local overheating.

The rest is the same as example 1.
[0031] Result: test value 0.068% (actual content 0.085%), error due to incomplete release of chloride ions combined with mineral powder.

[0035] Defects: dissolution rate is only 65%, formula calculation value 0.038% (actual 0.054%), error up to -29.6%. Artificial end point determination Step (3) cancel potential titration, use potassium chromate indicator (Mol method) instead, determine brick red end point by naked eye.
[0036] Defect: The consumption of potassium thiocyanate V1 = 8.20 mL (8.32 mL by potentiometric method), the error is due to the end point lag, the detection value is 0.006% higher.
[0037] Comparative Example 3 Without background value deduction Cancel step (7) background deduction, directly use the formula to calculate the result.
[0038] Error: detection value 0.066% (actual 0.054%), positive deviation +22.2%.

[0061] Results are shown in Table 6.
[0062] Table 6 Interfering ion influence test results
[0063] From the data in Table 6, the following conclusions can be drawn: Interference mechanism: S²⁻ reacts with AgNO3 to form Ag2S precipitate, and SO4²⁻ competes with Ag⁺ to cause false high detection value; Dual-wavelength advantage: Example 5 reduces the combined interference error from +0.009% to +0.003% through 620nm correction, with a reduction of 66.7%.
