TÓM TẮT
Calcium leaching might be a significant degradation process in concrete and reinforced structures with an anticipated long-term service life such as nuclear waste disposal systems or large hydro structures (dams, bridges, water tanks). The leaching process is extremely slow under environmental conditions, which fosters the use of accelerated experimental approaches such as leaching in an ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) solution. In this paper, we develop a one-dimensional diffusion-based transport model with the purpose to predict the changes in microstructure and transport properties of saturated cement pastes in contact with a NH4NO3 solution. The model helps to better understand the transient state of leaching which is difficult to observe by experimental work. The main new elements in this model are change in model configuration with extended solution domains; ability to predict the spatial profiles of diffusivity and permeability; including the effect on solubility of the spatial-temporal evolution of nitrate concentration; and including the effect of limestone addition to the cement paste of leaching kinetics. This model is based on macroscopic mass balances for Ca in aqueous and solid phases which are linked together by applying a variable solid-liquid Ca equilibrium curve. Besides the prediction of the leached depth, porosity increase, portlandite and C-S-H contents, and the amount of leached Ca, the model also enables to estimate the variation of permeability and diffusivity over the domain at different immersion periods in NH4NO3 solution. The model is verified by accelerated leaching experiments in 6 mol/l NH4NO3 solution on CEM I cement pastes with/without limestone fillers. Verification with experimental results shows a good agreement.
ABSTRACT
Calcium leaching might be a significant degradation process in concrete and reinforced structures with an anticipated long-term service life such as nuclear waste disposal systems or large hydro structures (dams, bridges, water tanks). The leaching process is extremely slow under environmental conditions, which fosters the use of accelerated experimental approaches such as leaching in an ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) solution. In this paper, we develop a one-dimensional diffusion-based transport model with the purpose to predict the changes in microstructure and transport properties of saturated cement pastes in contact with a NH4NO3 solution. The model helps to better understand the transient state of leaching which is difficult to observe by experimental work. The main new elements in this model are change in model configuration with extended solution domains; ability to predict the spatial profiles of diffusivity and permeability; including the effect on solubility of the spatial-temporal evolution of nitrate concentration; and including the effect of limestone addition to the cement paste of leaching kinetics. This model is based on macroscopic mass balances for Ca in aqueous and solid phases which are linked together by applying a variable solid-liquid Ca equilibrium curve. Besides the prediction of the leached depth, porosity increase, portlandite and C-S-H contents, and the amount of leached Ca, the model also enables to estimate the variation of permeability and diffusivity over the domain at different immersion periods in NH4NO3 solution. The model is verified by accelerated leaching experiments in 6 mol/l NH4NO3 solution on CEM I cement pastes with/without limestone fillers.
