Abstract
This study examines the potential use of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) residue as a replacement of cement (20%wt by cement weight) in construction materials to provide anticorrosion protection on reinforcing steel and improve the strength of cementitious materials under sulfate attack. To assess the corrosion parameters, the constructed building materials were immersed in a 5%wt sulfate salt (Na2SO4), while concrete samples incorporating 20%wt EMD were prepared and subjected to mechanical, porosity and thermal tests. Moreover, SEM images were obtained in order to examine the microstructure of concrete and the extent of damage caused by sulfate ions. The results demonstrate that the inclusion of EMD caused a notable rise in the corrosion of steel bars within cement mortars, as well as a decrease in the mechanical strength of the building materials. Overall, the experimental outcomes of the study suggest that the incorporation of high volume (20%wt) EMD residue leads to the degradation of all measured properties.
