A1 - Gluth, Gregor T1 - Stahlkorrosion in alkalisch aktivierten Bindemitteln und Betonen: Anwendung elektrochemischer Methoden N2 - Alkalisch aktivierte Bindemittel (AAB) und Betone können herkömmliche Zemente beziehungsweise Betone potentiell in vielen Anwendungen ersetzen und dadurch den CO2-Fußabdruck der Bauindustrie wesentlich verkleinern. Zur Untersuchung der Stahlkorrosion in bewehrten („armierten“) Betonbauteilen werden elektrochemische Methoden wie Messungen des Freien Korrosionspotentials, des Polarisationswiderstands oder von Stromdichte-Potential-Kurven eingesetzt. Diese Methoden und die etablierten Grenzwerte zur Detektion von Korrosion sind für die Anwendung bei herkömmlichen Zementen beziehungsweise Betonen entwickelt und erprobt worden. Neue Forschungsergebnisse demonstrieren, dass Unterschiede zwischen den Porenlösungszusammensetzungen von herkömmlichen Zementen und bestimmten AAB sowie anderen schlackehaltigen Zementen erhebliche Unterschiede bei den Ergebnissen der elektrochemischen Messungen bewirken und damit zur fehlerhaften Detektion von Stahlkorrosion führen können. Ursache hierfür sind vor allem reduzierte Schwefelspezies in den Porenlösungen von AAB und anderen schlackehaltigen Zementen.

T1 - Steel corrosion in reinforced alkali‐activated materials N2 - The development of alkali‐activated materials (AAMs) as an alternative to Portland cement (PC) has seen significant progress in the past decades. However, there still remains significant uncertainty regarding their long term performance when used in steel‐reinforced structures. The durability of AAMs in such applications depends strongly on the corrosion behaviour of the embedded steel reinforcement, and the experimental data in the literature are limited and in some cases inconsistent. This letter elucidates the role of the chemistry of AAMs on the mechanisms governing passivation and chloride‐induced corrosion of the steel reinforcement, to bring a better understanding of the durability of AAM structures exposed to chloride. The corrosion of the steel reinforcement in AAMs differs significantly from observations in PC; the onset of pitting (or the chloride ‘threshold’ value) depends strongly on the alkalinity, and the redox environment, of these binders. Classifications or standards used to assess the severity of steel corrosion in PC appear not to be directly applicable to AAMs due to important differences in pore solution chemistry and phase assemblage.

T1 - Modelling chloride transport in alkali-activated slags N2 - The service-life of steel-reinforced concrete structures is primarily determined by the ability of the concrete cover to resist chloride ingress. With limited literature available on the ingress of chloride into alkali-activated slags (AAS) under service conditions, it is critical that this is described by appropriate models. This paper describes an interactive software framework to relate chloride ingress into AAS with the chemistry of the concrete cover, by considering the chloride binding capacity and porosity of the binder as a function of time, based on thermodynamic calculations of the phase assemblage as a function of slag and activator composition. This provides a major step towards developing the ability to predict the ingress of chlorides in alkali-activated concretes from a sound theoretical basis, which is essential in providing confidence in the durability of these materials in essential infrastructure applications.

A1 - Gluth, Gregor T1 - Kinetics of Sulfide Oxidation in alkaline solutions studied by X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy N2 - The oxidation of sulfur in aqueous solutions is an important process in several geochemical and industrial contexts. In concrete technology, it is particularly relevant for the protection of steel reinforcement in slag cement-based concretes, as the presence of sulfides affects the passivation of the steel and corrosion initiation in the presence of chlorides. However, the knowledge about the kinetics of sulfide oxidation in alkaline solutions, such as concrete pore solutions, is incomplete. To address this issue, we prepared solutions with 0.80 M NaOH, and nominally 10, 100 and 350 mM HS−, respectively, and followed the evolution of the sulfur species during bubbling with oxygen-containing gas (concentration 100% or 22%) using X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the sulfur K-edge. Polysulfide, thiosulfate, sulfite and sulfate were identified and quantified via linear combination fitting of the spectra, using previously measured standards. A preliminary analysis of the results shows that the initial rate constant of sulfide oxidation depends strongly on the HS− concentration, while it less strongly depending on the oxygen concentration, in line with previous results for lower pH values. Approaches to fit the data to obtain the rate constants of all relevant reactions will be discussed.
