Abstract
Steel bars inside reinforced concrete easily become corroded in high chloride environments, bidirectional electromigration rehabilitation is an important method of repairing the durability of reinforced concrete, it can migrate chloride out of concrete and transfer electromigration inhibitor to the surface of the steel bar under the action of an electric field. In this paper, autonomous synthesis electromigration inhibitor was used with bidirectional electromigration rehabilitation to repair the durability of reinforced concrete. Specifically, the effect of a new imidazoline corrosion inhibitor on chloride migration, corrosion potential, and reinforcement of concrete strength was explored. The research results showed that the dechlorination effect and electrochemical dechlorination made no significant difference on the surface of the concrete, where chlorine removal efficiency was more than 70% and the location of steel efficiency of chlorine was more than 90%. The autonomous synthesis electromigration inhibitor was found to be excellent at facilitating chloride migration and ameliorating corrosion, meanwhile, it had a negligible impact on the concrete strength.
