Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a device and method for simulating microbial corrosion of concrete. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete, as a low-cost engineering construction material, is widely used in various marine infrastructures. However, the high temperature and humidity of the marine environment accelerates the corrosion of concrete structures, often resulting in a shorter-than-expected service life for infrastructure in the region, significantly increasing its life-cycle cost. Researchers have found that the corrosive effect of marine synergistic acid-producing microorganisms on concrete is one of the important reasons for the reduced service life of concrete infrastructure. Furthermore, marine corrosion zones are divided into the marine atmospheric zone, the splash zone, the tidal zone, the fully submerged seawater zone, and the seabed mud zone. The different growth and metabolic rates of microorganisms in these zones lead to different corrosion rates on the concrete in their respective zones. To further investigate the corrosive effects and mechanisms of synergistic acid-producing microorganisms on concrete in different corrosion zones, it is urgent to develop corresponding simulation devices and methods for microbial corrosion of concrete in marine environments.
[0003] For example, patents such as "Experimental Device and Method for Microbial Corrosion of Concrete under Simulated Seawater Environment", "Comprehensive Simulation System for Marine Tidal Salt Fog Environment", and "Durability Experimental Device for Simulating Marine Tidal Effect in Artificial Environment" can only simulate a single corrosion zone. Both "Comprehensive Simulation System for Marine Tidal Salt Fog Environment" and "Durability Experimental Device for Simulating Marine Tidal Effect in Artificial Environment" require a control system to operate the device. Patents "Experimental Device and Method for Microbial Corrosion of Concrete under Simulated Seawater Environment" and "Experimental Device and Method for Microbial Corrosion of Concrete under Simulated Seawater Environment" only select a single acid-producing microorganism, which limits the research on corrosion mechanism.

[0062] The method for simulating microbial corrosion of concrete in a marine environment in this embodiment is carried out according to the following steps:
[0063] I. Preparation of concrete specimens
[0064] (1) Weigh the raw materials according to the designed concrete specimen mix proportion. The raw materials are coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, mineral powder, fly ash, ordinary Portland cement, water, water-reducing agent and defoamer. Add the coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, mineral powder, fly ash and ordinary Portland cement to the horizontal twin-shaft mixer in sequence for dry mixing. The time interval between adding each raw material is 60 seconds. Mix the water, water-reducing agent and defoamer and add them evenly to the mixer. Then mix for 5 minutes until the mixture is uniform and has good fluidity.
[0065] The mix proportion of the concrete specimens is as follows: by mass ratio, ordinary Portland cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate: mineral powder: fly ash: water: water-reducing agent: defoamer = 270:800:1200:90:90:89.1:1:0.1;
[0066] The ordinary Portland cement is P·O42.5 ordinary Portland cement, produced by Harbin Yatai Company;
[0067] The fine aggregate is river sand with a fineness modulus of 2.6;
[0068] Coarse aggregate is continuously graded crushed stone with a particle size of 5-10 mm;
[0069] The mineral powder is S95 mineral powder, produced by Yantai Anda Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.
[0070] The fly ash is grade II fly ash, produced by Yantai Anda Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.
[0071] The water-reducing agent is a polycarboxylate-based high-efficiency water-reducing agent manufactured by MB Solutions. It is a viscous liquid with a solid content of 50%.
[0072] The defoamer is tributyl phosphate, produced by Xilong Scientific Co., Ltd.
[0073] (2) Pour the concrete mixture obtained from mixing into a mold coated with release agent in one go, place it on a vibrating table and vibrate for 2 minutes. During the vibration process, use a trowel to tamp the mixture along the inner wall of the mold, and make the mixture higher than the upper edge of the mold. Then smooth the surface of the specimen to ensure that the specimen is dense, cover it with plastic wrap and make a mark.
[0074] (3) According to the "Standard for Test Methods of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete" (GB / T 50081-2019) and the "Standard for Quality Control of Concrete" (GB50164-2011), the specimens were cured at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours until they solidified and were demolded. The demolded specimens were immediately placed in a standard curing room for curing until 28 days of age. The temperature of the curing room was 20℃±2℃ and the relative humidity was above 95%, resulting in multiple concrete specimens.
[0075] 2. Weigh the concrete specimens using an electronic precision balance and test the dynamic elastic modulus before corrosion; the dynamic elastic modulus of the concrete specimens before corrosion is 9.67 GPa.
[0076] III. Microbial Corrosion Simulation of Concrete
[0077] (1) In the bacteria-containing seawater tank (1), the atmospheric zone, tidal zone and total immersion zone are divided from top to bottom according to the height;
[0078] The total immersion zone is between 0 and 50 cm in height inside the bacteria-containing seawater tank (1), the tidal zone is between 50 and 100 cm in height inside the bacteria-containing seawater tank (1), and the atmospheric zone is between 100 cm and 150 cm inside the bacteria-containing seawater tank (1). Multiple concrete specimens are placed on stainless steel sample holders at different heights in the bacteria-containing seawater tank (1).
[0079] (2) Store seawater containing acid-producing microorganisms in the bacteria-containing seawater tank (1) and adjust the water level of the corrosion reaction tank (2) to the bottom height of the tidal zone; use heater (12) to control and maintain the temperature inside the corrosion reaction tank (2) at a constant 30°C; use mixer (5) to stir the seawater containing acid-producing microorganisms, start the mixer (5) twice a day for 2 hours each time and stop for 10 hours each time; use atomizing nozzle (6) to spray the seawater containing acid-producing microorganisms in the corrosion reaction tank (2) to the atmospheric zone and the tidal zone, and maintain the humidity of the atmospheric zone and the tidal zone at 100%RH;
[0080] The method for preparing the seawater containing acid-producing microorganisms is as follows: First, prepare 160L of artificial seawater. Then, mix 1600g of Thiobacillus denitrification culture medium and 1600g of Staphylococcus aureus culture medium evenly and add them to the artificially prepared seawater. Irradiate with ultraviolet light for 12 hours, and then add 400mL of a solution with a concentration of 2.98×10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / mL of Thiobacillus denitrification bacterial solution and 400 mL of solution with a concentration of 3.06×10 8 The Staphylococcus aureus bacterial suspension at CFU / mL showed that both Thiobacillus denitrificationis and Staphylococcus aureus in the suspension had reached the logarithmic growth phase.
[0081] The artificial seawater contains the following components: chloride ions: 18000 mg / L, sodium ions: 10000 mg / L, sulfur ions: 2200 mg / L, magnesium ions: 1000 mg / L, potassium ions: 400 mg / L, calcium ions: 400 mg / L, lead: 0.04 mg / L, cadmium: 0.01 mg / L, mercury: 0.01 mg / L, arsenic: 0.01 mg / L, nitrite: 0.30 mg / L, hexavalent chromium: 0.009 mg / L, reactive phosphate: 0.09 mg / L, with the remainder being water.
[0082] The composition of the *Thiobacillus denitrification* culture medium is: 5 g / L yeast extract, 10 g / L tryptone, 10 g / L sodium chloride, 10 g / L sodium thiosulfate, and 15-20 g / L agar powder, with deionized water as the solvent; the composition of the *Staphylococcus aureus* culture medium is: 0.5 g / L ammonium chloride, 20 g / L sodium thiosulfate, 0.01 g / L ferrous sulfate, 5 g / L potassium nitrate, 0.6 g / L magnesium sulfate, 3.025 g / L disodium hydrogen phosphate, 0.05 g / L calcium chloride, 2 g / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.02 g / L manganese sulfate, 1 g / L sodium bicarbonate, and 15-20 g / L agar powder, with deionized water as the solvent;
[0083] Staphylococci reduce sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate, and elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide; Thiobacillus oxidizes various reduced sulfides, such as hydrogen sulfide or elemental sulfur, to bio-sulfuric acid under low pH conditions. This embodiment uses *Staphylococcus aureus* and *Thiobacillus denitrificans* as synergistic corrosion bacteria to simulate the microbial corrosion environment in a real marine setting. *Staphylococcus aureus* was obtained from the Marine Corrosion and Protection Open Laboratory of the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This bacterium uses thiosulfate as a sulfur source to produce cysteine, which is then further decomposed to produce hydrogen sulfide. *Thiobacillus denitrificans* was purchased from Ningbo Taisto Biotechnology Co., Ltd. This bacterium uses oxygen as an electron acceptor to hydrogenate the sulfide produced by *Staphylococcus aureus* to elemental sulfur, and then further oxidizes the sulfur to the final product, sulfuric acid.
[0084] (3) The tidal process is simulated by draining water through the first peristaltic pump (10) and supplying water through the second peristaltic pump (20). The tidal process includes the following cycle: the seawater level drops from the top of the tidal zone to the bottom of the tidal zone (11h55min), the seawater level is at the bottom of the tidal zone (5min), the seawater level rises from the bottom of the tidal zone to the top of the tidal zone (11h55min), and the seawater level is at the top of the tidal zone (5min). During this period, 50% of the seawater containing acid-producing microorganisms is replaced every 15 days. At the same time, air is drawn from the atmosphere and sent into the corrosion reaction chamber (2) through the first vacuum pump (24), and hydrogen sulfide gas is extracted through the second vacuum pump (16) to ensure that the oxygen concentration in the chamber is maintained at 18-20.5% of the O2 volume concentration. The hydrogen sulfide gas is adsorbed and removed in the waste gas treatment chamber (3).
[0085] 4. After 150 days, the concrete specimens simulated in step 3 (atmospheric zone, tidal zone, and full immersion zone) were removed, and the biofilm on the surface of the concrete specimens was separated. Biofilm thickness test and staining test of live and dead bacteria on the biofilm surface were performed. The thickness of the biofilm on the specimen surface in the tidal zone and full immersion zone is shown in Table 5. As can be seen from Table 5, microorganisms grow and attach to the surface of the specimens and form a biofilm. Figure 5 This is a diagram showing the distribution of live and dead bacteria staining in the biofilm of the specimen in the tidal zone after 150 days of corrosion. Figure 6 The image shows the distribution of live and dead bacteria in the biofilm of the specimen after 150 days of corrosion in the fully immersed zone. The staining test of live and dead bacteria on the biofilm surface shows that a large number of live microorganisms are attached to the surface of the specimen, which is consistent with the actual marine environment, indicating that the equipment simulation effect is good.
[0086] 5. After cleaning the biofilm off the surface of the concrete specimens, place them indoors to dry, then weigh them and perform tests on the dynamic elastic modulus, flexural strength, compressive strength, XRD, and porosity after corrosion.
[0087] In Example 1, concrete specimens were placed in the atmospheric zone, tidal zone, and fully immersed zone of a corrosion chamber for 150 days for corrosion, and then their flexural strength, compressive strength, dynamic elastic modulus, porosity, and XRD were tested. A control group was also set up. The control group was different from Example 1 in that it contained seawater without acid-producing microorganisms in the bacterial seawater chamber (3). The results are shown in Tables 1-3. The porosity parameters of the specimens in the fully immersed zone before and after 150 days of microbial corrosion are shown in Table 4. The corrosion effects in the fully immersed zone and the tidal zone were the most obvious. The maximum loss rate of flexural strength of the concrete in the fully immersed zone after 150 days of corrosion reached 20.8%, because the microbial activity and concentration were higher in the fully immersed zone, resulting in stronger corrosion. The maximum loss rate of dynamic elastic modulus of the concrete in the tidal zone after 150 days of corrosion reached 61.4%, because the physical-chemical multi-scale damage caused by alternating wet and dry conditions caused the greatest damage to the internal structure of the concrete matrix. The total pore volume, porosity, most probable pore diameter, and volumes of harmful and frequently harmful pores in the concrete specimens generally showed a gradual increasing trend over time. This is related to the decomposition of internal hydration products caused by biological sulfuric acid corrosion, and the internal stress induced by the expansion of excessive gypsum and ettringite. The above data are largely close to the actual marine environment, further demonstrating that this invention has a good simulation effect on the atmospheric zone, tidal zone, and fully submerged zone of the marine environment in situ.
[0088] Figure 3 The XRD pattern of the fully immersed specimen before microbial corrosion is shown. Figure 4 The XRD pattern of the fully immersed specimen after 150 days of microbial corrosion is shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the main components of microbially corroded concrete include dicalcium silicate (C2S), ettringite, Ca(OH)2, and CaCO3. As corrosion progresses, the acid produced by microorganisms erodes the concrete, causing instability of internal hydration products. The content of C2S gradually decreases, while the content of ettringite and CaCO3 gradually increases to 13.5% and 11%, respectively. This, in turn, leads to specimen expansion, induces internal stress, and causes microcrack propagation, providing a channel for microbial invasion. As the acid-producing corrosion by microorganisms continues to penetrate deeper, the strength of the specimen gradually decreases. This phenomenon is consistent with the actual marine environment.
