The application of electrochemical chloride extraction to reinforced concrete – A review

In a context of ageing reinforced concrete structures, electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) is an interesting treatment for structures damaged by chloride-induced corrosion. This paper summarises the state art presenting concept ECE, assessing available measurement techniques and discussing influencing factors. The determination ECE efficacy requires consideration different results, particularly those pertaining to extraction, corrosion mitigation evolution pH. literature review also highlights potential side effects risks structure. Further work needed ascertain long-term performance ECE.
