For critical structures and application, where a given reliability must be met, it is necessary to account for uncertainties and variability in material properties, structural parameters affecting the corrosion process, in addition to the statistical and decision uncertainties. This paper presents an approach to the fuzzy arithmetic based modeling of the chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement in concrete structures that takes into account the uncertainties in the physical models of chloride penetration into concrete and corrosion of steel reinforcement, as well as the uncertainties in the governing parameters, including concrete diffusivity, concrete cover depth, surface chloride concentration and critical chloride level for corrosion initiation. The parameters of the models are regarded as fuzzy numbers with proper membership function adapted to statistical data of the governing parameters and the fuzziness of the corrosion time is determined by the fuzzy arithmetic of interval arithmetic and extension principle

The purpose of this paper is to present failure analysis, of the heat exchanger tube in a district heating system. SS304 stainless steel is used, as material for the heat exchanger tube. The heat exchanger operates in a soft water environment containing a small amount of chloride ions, and regularly repeats operation and standstill period. This causes concentration of chloride ions on the outer surface of the tube, as well as repeat of thermal expansion, and shrinkage of the tube. As a result of microscopic examination, cracks showed transgranular as well as branched propagation, and many pits were present, at the initiation point of each crack. Energy disperstive spectroscopy analysis showed Fe and O peak, as well as Cl peak, meaning that cracks were affected by Cl ion. Failure of the tube was caused by chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking by thermal stress, high temperature, and localized enrichment of chloride ions.

Phosphate based inhibitor is playing a decisive role in inhibiting the corrosion of steel rebar in chloride condition. We have used different amount of ammonium phosphate monobasic (APMB) as corrosion inhibitor in mortar with different amount of chloride ions. The compressive strength, flexural strength, open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization resistance (PPR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy were performed to access the effect of inhibitor on corrosion resistance. As the amount of inhibitor is increased, the compressive strength increased. The electrochemical results show that as the amount of inhibitor and chloride ions are increased, the total impedance and corrosion resistance of steel rebar increased attributed to the formation of the stable oxide films onto the steel rebar surface. It is suggested that APMB can work in high concentration of chloride ions present in concrete where phosphate ion helps in formation of stable and protective phosphate based oxide film.

Chloride plating solution was fabricated by dissolving metal Ni powders in a mixed solution with HCl and de-ionized water. Effects of $Ni^{2+}$ and saccharin concentrations in the plating baths on current efficiency, residual stress, surface morphology and microstructure of Ni films were studied. In the case of $0.2M\;Ni^{2+}$ concentration, current efficiency was decreased to about 65 % with increasing saccharin concentration, but, in the case of $0.7M\;Ni^{2+}$ concentration, it was shown more than 90 % with the increase of saccharin concentration. Residual stress of Ni thin film was appeared to be about 400 MPa up to 0.0244 M saccharin concentration at the $0.2M\;Ni^{2+}$ concentration and surface morphology with severe cracks was observed in the range of 0.0487~0.0975 M saccharin concentration. Residual stress of Ni thin films was measured to be about 750 MPa without saccharin addition and 114~148 MPa at the range of 0.0097~0.0975 M saccharin concentration for the $0.7M\;Ni^{2+}$ concentration. Relatively low residual stress values (114~148 MPa) of the Ni films at the range of 0.0097~0.0975 M saccharin concentration may be resulted from codeposition of S from saccharin. Ni films at $0.7M\;Ni^{2+}$ concentration showed smooth surface morphology and were independent of saccharin concentration. Ni films at $0.7M\;Ni^{2+}$ concentration consist of FCC(111), FCC(200), FCC(220) and FCC(311) peaks and the intensities of FCC(111) and FCC(200) peaks increased with increasing saccharin concentration. Also, the average grain size decreased with increasing saccharin concentration from about 30 nm to about 15 nm.

Concrete structures in marine environment are susceptible to chloride attack, where chloride diffusion results in the corrosion of steel bar and further lead to the cracking of concrete cover. This process causes structural deterioration and affects the response of concrete structures to different forms of loading. This paper presents the use of ABAQUS Finite Element Software in simulating the processes involved in concrete's structural degradation from chloride diffusion to steel corrosion and concrete cover cracking. Fick's law was used for the chloride diffusion, while the mass loss from steel corrosion was obtained using Faraday's law. Pressure generated by steel corrosion product at the concrete-steel interface was modeled by applying uniform radial displacements, while concrete smeared cracking alongside the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) was used for concrete cover cracking simulation. Results show that, chloride concentration decreases with penetration depth, but increases with exposure time at the concrete-steel interface. Cracks initiate and propagate in the concrete cover as pressure caused by the steel corrosion product increases. Furthermore, the crack width increases with the exposure time on the surface of the concrete.

The present study investigates treatment methods for removal of arsenic from wastewater. The granular activated carbon (GAC) with the coating of iron chloride ($FeCl_3$) was used for the treatment of a low concentration of arsenic from wastewater. Batch experiments were performed to investigate the synthesis of Fe-GAC (Iron coated granular activated carbon), effects of pH, adsorption kinetics and the Langmuir model. The synthesized Fe-GAC with 0.1 M $FeCl_3$ shows best removal efficiency. Adsorption studies were carried out in the optimum pH range of 4-6 for arsenic removal. The Fe-GAC showed promising results by removing 99.4% of arsenic. In the adsorption isotherm studies, the observed data fitted well with the Langmuir models. In continuous column study showed that As(V) could be removed to below 0.25 mg/L within 1,020 pore volume. Our results suggest that the surface modified granular activated carbon treated with $FeCl_3$ for effective removal of arsenic from wastewater.

구조물의 열화부위를 제거하고 단면수복재로 되메우는 단면수복공법의 합리적인 시공을 위해서는 외부로부터 침투되는 염화물이온에 대한 단면수복재 및 이를 시공한 철근콘크리트구조물의 염화물이온 침투예측의 선행이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 단면수복재 시공이후의 구조물의 염해상태를 예측하고, 염화물이온의 침투 및 그에 의한 철근부식을 예측하기위해 단면수복재를 시공한 콘크리트의 염화물이온 확산계수를 정확히 파악하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 실제 염화물이온 급속침투실험(Rapid Chloride Permeability Test)를 통한 단면수복재의 염화물이온 확산계수를 실험적으로 산정하고 단면수복재의 두께가 염화물이온 확산에 미치는 영향 또한 수치적으로 규명하였다. 실험에서 도출된 콘크리트 및 단면수복재의 염화물이온 확산계수를 일본토목학회에서 제시한 식 및 유한요소해석(Finite Element Method)를 이용하여 단면수복재로 보수시공한 구조물의 위치별 염화물이온농도를 산출하였다.

최근 영종도신공항, 서해대교, 원자력발전소 등 열악한 환경에 노출되는 구조물들의 건설이 증가되면서 구조물의 내구성 확보에 관한 관심이 커지고 있는 실정이다. 특히 철근부식과 관련하여 콘크리트 구조물의 성능저하에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 염해에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 그 동안 주로 염소이온 단일열화에 대한 연구는 많았으나 염소이온과 황산염 등이 복합으로 작용하는 경우 등 복합열화에 대한 연구는 찾아보기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 단일염소이온 만이 아니라 염소이온과 황산염 이온이 복합된 환경하에서 콘크리트 구조물의 성능저하 현상을 규명하고 이들의 상호영향을 연구하는데 목적을 두고 두 가지 경우에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 단일 염소이온이 존재하는 경우보다 황산염 이온이 동시에 작용하는 경우 염소이온 침투량이 증가하였으며, 모든 조건에서 표면염소이온의 농도는 시간에 따라 증가하고 반면에 확산계수는 시간에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 플라이애시를 사용한 경우 모든 배합과 노출환경에서 확산계수가 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 실험결과에 따라 표면염소이온의 농도와 확산계수의 시간의존성을 예측하는 식을 제시하였으며, 이들의 영향을 고려한 염소이온 침투 예측식을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 해수 등과 같이 염소이온 및 황산염 이온이 복합 작용하는 경우 장기적인 염소이온 침투량을 예측하는 데 참고자료가 될 것으로 사료되며, 정확한 예측을 위해서는 이를 통한 진전된 복합환경하의 연구가 필요하다.

The corrosion resistance of epoxy-coated carbon steel was evaluated. The carbon steel surface was subjected to different treatment methods such as steel grit blasting and power tool treatment as well as contamination of water soluble salt. To study the effect of the surface treatments and contamination, the topology of the treated surface was observed by confocal microscopy and a pull-off adhesion test was conducted. The corrosion resistance of the epoxy-coated carbon steel was further examined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) combined with immersion test of 3.5 wt% of NaCl solution. Consequently, the surface contamination by sodium chloride with $16mg/m^2$, $48mg/m^2$ and $96mg/m^2$ didn't affect the adhesion strength for current epoxy coated carbon steel and blister and rust were not observed on the surface of epoxy coating contaminated by various concentration of sodium chloride after 20 weeks of immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl aqueous solutions. In addition, the results of EIS test showed that the epoxy-coated carbon steel treated with steel grit blasting and power tool showed similar corrosion protection performance and surface cleanness such as Sa 3 and Sa 2.5 didn't affect the corrosion protectiveness of epoxy coated carbon steel.

Background: Disinfection is essential to provide drinking water from a water source. The disinfection process mainly consists of the use of chlorine and ozone, but when chlorine is used as a disinfectant, the problem of disinfection by-products arises. In order to resolve the issue of disinfection by-products, electro-chlorination technology that produces chlorine-based disinfectants from salt water through electrochemical principles should be applied. Objectives: This study surveys the possibility of optimally producing active chlorine from synthetic NaCl solutions using an electro-chlorination system through RSM. Methods: Response surface methodology (RSM) has been used for modeling and optimizing a variety of water and wastewater treatment processes. This study surveys the possibility of optimally producing active chlorine from synthetic saline solutions using electrolysis through RSM. Various operating parameters, such as distance of electrodes, sodium chloride concentration, electrical potential, and electrolysis time were evaluated. Results: Various operating parameters, such as distance of electrodes, sodium chloride concentration, electrical potential, and electrolysis time were evaluated. A central composite design (CCD) was applied to determine the optimal experimental factors for chlorine production. Conclusions: The concentration of the synthetic NaCl solution and the distance between electrodes had the greatest influence on the generation of hypochlorite disinfectant. The closer the distance between the electrodes and the higher the concentration of the synthetic NaCl solution, the more hypochlorous acid disinfectant was produced.
