Chloride ion is one of the most important corrosive agents in atmospheric corrosion, especially in marine environments. It has high adsorption rate and increases the conductivity of electrolytes. Since chloride ions affect the protective properties and the surface composition of the corrosion product, they increase the corrosion rate. A low level of chloride ions leads to uniform corrosion, whereas a high level of chloride ions may induce localized corrosion. However, higher solution temperatures tend to increase the corrosion rate by enhancing the migration of oxygen in the solution. This work focused on the effect of NaCl concentration and temperature on galvanic corrosion between A516Gr.55 carbon steel and AA7075T6 aluminum alloys. When AA7075T6 aluminum alloy was galvanically coupled to A516Gr.55 carbon steel, AA7075T6 was severely corroded regardless of NaCl concentration and solution temperature, unlike the corrosion properties of single specimen. The combined effect of surface treatment involving carbon steel and aluminum alloy on corrosion behavior was also discussed.

Flocculation is known one of the effective methods for harvesting microalgae. This study was aimed to optimize the flocculation condition for decreasing the amounts of flocculant and obtaining the highest yield of algal biomass. To achieve this goal, it was optimized the flocculant concentration, reaction pH and the concentration of cell density for harvest using response surface methodology (RSM). The flocculation of microalgae, Spirogyra varians, was carried out using inorganic flocculant polyaluminium chloride. By the RSM result, the optimal flocculation condition was calculated 5 ppm of polyaluminum chloride, pH 7.5 and 0.33 of optical cell density at $OD_{640}$. The obtained recovery yield of S. varians was 97.6% at the optimal condition.

One of the principal causes of the deterioation of coastal concrete structures is the corrosion of reinforcing steel induced by the attack of chloride ions. An experimental study was performed to investigate the distribution of concentration of chloride ions in a coastal concrete structure and to measure the half-cell potential of embedded steel by using the copper-copper sulfate reference electrode. Quantitative analysis showed that the concentration of chloride ion in the aqueous phase near the surface of embedded steel exceeded a threshold value for corrosion, 0.05% by weight in concrete. The absolute value of half-cell potential at some members of embedded steel was measured to be higher than 350mV, indicating that the probability of corrosion is more than 90%. The prediction on corrosion based on the experimental measurements was confirmed by the observation of corrosion on the surface of steel bars in the concrete core taken out of the concrete structure.

Interest in electric vehicle is on the rise due to global eco-friendly policies. To improve the efficiency of electric vehicles, it is essential to reduce weights of components. Since electric vehicles have various electronic equipment, the research on stray current corrosion is required. In this research, a galvanostatic corrosion experiment was performed on 6061-T6 Al alloy for electric vehicle battery housing using chloride concentration and applied current density as variables in a solution simulating an acid rain environment. As a result of the experiment, when chloride concentration and applied current density were increased, corrosion damage became larger. In particular, pitting damage was dominant at an applied current density of 0.1 mA/cm². Pitting damage over the entire surface was found at a current density of 1.0 mA/cm². In conclusion, chloride concentration had a relatively large effect on localized corrosion. The applied current density had a great effect on uniform corrosion. However, in the case of applied current density, localized corrosion was also greatly affected by interaction with chloride.

The major cause of deterioration for the bare concrete bridge decks exposed to de-icing chemicals would be chloride-induced reinforcement corrosion. Thus, in this paper, in order to predict time to corrode for concrete bridge decks on highways, the chloride concentration was measured with depth from the surface. Then, the surface chloride concentration and apparent diffusion coefficient were calculated by regression. The premature failure of bare concrete decks were mostly related with thin cover depth and poor concrete property(high permeability). The good protection of deck surface might contribute to the prolongation of the service life of bare concrete bridge decks.

The influences of various parameters such as inclusions, surface roughness, exposed areas and chloride ion concentrations on the initiation of pitting of Fe-17Cr alloy were investigated, using micro-droplet cell technique. Micro-droplet cell allows one to align the micro-electrode to the desired spot of the working electrode and measure directly local currents with the potentiodynamic polarization. Micro electrochemical tests were carried out at the inclusions after EDX analysis of inclusion. EDX analysis identified inclusions as Cr-oxides. It was found that some active inclusions among Cr-oxide inclusions acted as initiation sites for pitting corrosion. In addition, the rougher surface and the denser chloride ion concentration offered easier pit initiation sites, causing the more susceptible to pitting corrosion.

An increase of concrete construction in marine environments as well as an increasing use of marine aggregate at the mixing stage of concrete has provoked an important problem. A high concentration of chloride ion in the vicinity of steel bars in concrete is the principal cause of premature reinforcement corrosion in concrete structures. In this study, the behavior of chloride ions introduced into concrete from concrete surface by marine evironment was analysed. A mathematical model including the diffusion of chloride ion in aqueous phase of pores, the adsorption and desorption of chloride ions to and from the surface of solid phase of concrete and the chemical reactions of chloride ions with solid phase was presented. Finite element method was employed to carry out numerical analysis. The results of this study may be used to predict the onset of reinforcement corrosion and to identify the maximum limit of chloride ions contained in concrete admixtures.

본 연구는 서울시에 위치한 콘크리트 교량 바닥판의 제빙화학제로 인한 열화속도를 추정하기 위하여 제빙화학제 사용현황을 조사하고 실구조물 조사에 의한 표면 염소이온량 누적정도와 염소이온 확산계수의 확률 분포적 특성을 고려하여 국내 환경에 적합한 내구수명 예측을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 무작위성을 나타내는 표면 염소이온량과 염소이온 확산계수는 각각 규모매개변수 0.192, 29.828, 형상매개변수 7.899, 1.983을 갖는 gamma 분포가 형성되었다. 표면 염소이온량은 평균 1.5kg/㎥이며 약70%의 확률수준에서 1∼2kg/㎥까지 농축되었다. 본 연구결과를 종합하여 볼 때 콘크리트 교량 바닥판의 설계내구수명이 20년 이상이 되려면 필요한 피복두께는 최소 26mm 이상으로 시공되어야 하며 고내구성 콘크리트로 타설하여 염소이온 확산계수를 감소시키는 것이 유효할 것으로 판단된다.

Interest in polymer electrolyte fuel cell is growing to replace fossil fuels. In particular, in order to reduce the cost and volume of the fuel cell, research on a metallic bipolar plate is being actively conducted. In this research, investigated the effects of temperature and chloride concentration on the electrochemical characteristics and damage behavior of 316L stainless steel in an accelerated solution simulating the cathodic operating condition of PEMFC(Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell). As a result of the experiments, the corrosion current density, damage size, and surface roughness increased as the temperature and chloride concentration increased. In particular, the temperature had a significant effect on the stability of the oxide film of 316L stainless steel. In addition, it was described that the growth of the pit was affected by the chloride concentration rather than the temperature. As a result of calculating the corrosion tendency to compare the pitting corrosion rate and the uniform corrosion rate, the uniform corrosion tendency became larger as the temperature increased. And the effects of chloride concentration on corrosion tendency was different according to temperature.
