Abstract

This paper studies effect of different combinations of NaNO2(sodium nitrite) and C6H15NO3(triethanolamine (TEA)), as synergistic admixtures in concrete immersed in NaCl and in H2SO4test environments, on the corrosion of the concrete reinforcing steel (rebar). Although statistically analysed electrochemical test results confirmed NaNO2effectiveness, synergistic combinations of 4 g NaNO2+ 4 g C6H15NO3in NaCl medium and of 2 g NaNO2+ 6 g C6H15NO3in H2SO4medium were also highly effective at inhibiting rebar corrosion. Synergistic parameter analyses showed that the effective synergistic admixtures that inhibited concrete steel-rebar corrosion in their respective medium were the NaNO2and C6H15NO3combinations that exhibited synergistic interactions of cooperative adsorption on steel-rebar. These support the suitability of requisite concentration of triethanolamine as additive admixture with sodium nitrite for steel-rebar corrosion mitigation, which is potent with reduced environmental effects, in concrete immersed in NaCl and in H2SO4corrosive media.
