It first presents results about the influence of the penetrating shape’s geometry on the influence on the cement paste specimen. Then, results are shown for the load-deflection curves depending upon time and agitation before testing. Based on the observation of the force required to penetrate the sample, conclusions on the structural build-up can be made. The observations were made over the course of time with samples that were left at rest and partly agitated before testing at different time steps. The setup allows to identify the contribution of the chemical reaction to the structural build-up process. The presence of superplasticizer obviously reduces the load that cement paste can withstand, while the loss of thixotropy is found notably lower than that of neat cement pates T2 - 13th International Conference on Superplasticizers and Other Chemical Admixtures in Concrete CY - Milan, Italy DA - 10.07.2022 KW - Thixotropy KW - Superplasticizer KW - Structural build-up KW - Texture analyzer KW - Penetration test PY - 2022 DO - https://doi.org/10.14359/51736058 VL - 354 SP - 13 EP - 24 PB - ACI Special Publications AN - OPUS4-58324 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Zhang, K. A1 - Schmidt, Wolfram A1 - Mezhov, Alexander T1 - Influence of the hydroxypropylation of starch on its performance as viscosity modifying agent N2 - Synopsis: Starch is a commonly used viscosity modifying agent (VMA). The performance of starch as VMA depends on its origin (e.g. potato, corn, cassava, etc.) and corresponding molecular properties, such as molecular weight, ratio between amylose and amylopectin etc. Depending upon the application, the efficiency of starch can be enhanced by hydroxypropylation. The maximum degree of substitution (DoS) cannot be greater than 3.0, which is the number of hydroxy groups per glucose monomer in the polymer. In the current research three potato starches exhibiting the DoS of 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 were utilised. The influence of the modified starch on the rheological properties and hydration of cement paste, as well as the viscosity of the pore solution were investigated. Our findings show that the starch with the highest DoS increases the dynamic yield stress the most, while the plastic viscosity is less dependent on the DoS. Additionally, starch with the highest DoS retards hydration to lower degree than other starches.

T1 - The effect of the charge density of a comb polyphosphate superplasticizer on the structural build-up of cement paste N2 - Synopsis: Lately, there has been rising attention to superplasticizers (SP) based on polyphosphate esters. However, the influence of the molecular structure of the polyphosphate polymers on time-dependent properties such as structural build-up has not been examined yet intensively. To investigate this effect, three comb polyphosphate superplasticizers with different charge densities were synthesised by free radical polymerisation. Our findings indicate that SP with the lowest and medium charge densities extend the induction period more strongly than the SP with the highest charge density. The reduction of the structural build-up rate is linearly dependent on the dosage and concentration of the functional group of polyphosphate SP in the cementitious system. This study proposes a mathematical equation expressing the relationship between the structural build-up rate during the induction period and the molecular structure of the polyphosphate SP.

A1 - Schmidt, Wolfram T1 - Interactions of Biobased Rheology Modifying Agents with Superplasticizer in Cement Paste N2 - Organic admixtures are an indispensable component of modern concrete. Thus, their purposeful application is not only technically and economically viable but in addition an inevitable tool to make concrete more environmentally friendly. In this context, the use of polysaccharides has increasingly gained interest in the built environment as sustainable resource for performance enhancement. However, due to its origin, biopolymers possess a vast variety of molecular structures which can result in incompatibilities with other polymers present in concrete, such as superplasticizers. The present study highlights effects of the joint application of different types of starches and polycarboxylates with respect to their influence on cement hydration and structural build-up of cement pastes.

Electrochemical tests indicated that the coating cathodically protects carbon steel or slows down the corrosion reaction. A long-term exposure test confirmed that the PANI/SiO2 modified coating successfully protects the carbon steel in the Sibayak artificial geothermal water at 150 °C for 6 months.

One need to be aware that corrosion is not a material's but a system property, determined by medium, material and construction aspects. Various corrosion types have to be evaluated. Conditions in laboratory shall reflect on-site reality. Depending on brine composition and temperature suitability of metallic materials can be ranked. Most important outcome of the research is that highly saline geothermal brines require high alloyed materials, for safe long-term operation.

(water 50 to 100 ppmv, SO2 and NO2 ca. 100 ppmv) Corrosion rates increase with increasing water content. (0.2 – 20 mm/a) Condensation of acids and therefore droplet formation is always possible, even at low water contents. A low SO2 content within the CO2-stream might be more important than a low water content. Cr13-steels showed a general susceptibility to shallow pitting and pitting. So, they seem to be not suitable for CCUS applications. Low alloyed steels showed better corrosion behavior (predictable uniform corrosion). For direct contact with saline aquifer fluids only high alloyed steels shall be used.

For cost reasons, plant designers prefer to use carbon and low alloyed steels, which are susceptible to uniform and localized corrosion when exposed to geothermal brines having acidic and saline properties. To solve such problem, coatings or inhibitors would be a protective solution as an alternative to the use of high alloyed materials. This study investigated a coating system consisting of polyaniline/silicon dioxide based on resources locally available in Indonesia. Protection against corrosion of carbon steel was shown by long-term (28 day) exposure and electrochemical tests of coated carbon steels, performed in an artificial acidic and saline geothermal brine, comparable to the conditions encountered at a site in Indonesia. Therefore, an integrated coating system is proposed for corrosion protection, combining the electrochemical functionality of polyaniline and the physical advantages of silica.

Cross section analysis revealed the crevice corrosion as main mechanism instead of pitting corrosion despite very high concentration of Cl in NGB. EDS element line scan analysis of the 20-week-exposed metal/mortar coupon showed Chloride distribution, which still not reached the metal/mortar interface, explaining no pitting was observed. It was confirmed that FeCO3 cannot protect the steel surface in CO2 saturated NGB. To verify the protective possibility of passivation happened on casing steel/mortar interface, simulated pore solution was synthesized and used to passivate the steel for 42 days. OCP and EIS confirmed the formation of passive layer. The 42 day passivated layer was broken during the first minute of exposure in CO2 saturated NGB. However, due to high concentration of Ca2+, a new carbonate CaCO3 dense layer was formed, increased the corrosion resistance of steel surface.
