Removal of chlorides from concrete.

摘要

Chlorides are removed from reinforced concrete by applying a voltage between the reinforcement and an electrolyte applied to the concrete surface. The novelty is that an adherent coating of electrolytic material is used and an electrode is brought into contact with the coating. The electrolyte is a conductive paint, gel or retarded gunite. It is applied to a thickness of 1-25 mm, esp. 10-20 mm. The electrode element is a net, esp. of graphite, which may be attached to the concrete before the electrolyte is applied.
