Abstract:

The influence of increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterborne potassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurements. The EIS results showed that increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-SiO2 to the resins improved the resistance of coatings; however, higher molar ratios showed an adverse effect. Moreover, the alkali silicate binder of the sample with a SiO2/K2O molar ratio of 5 was improved by adding 5, 10, and 15 wt.% of acrylic resin and acrylic/styrene copolymer to potassium silicate resin. These formulated coatings were sprayed over carbon steel plates and the adhesion and morphology of these primers were evaluated by pull-off, cross cut, and scanning electron microscopy tests. Electrochemical measurements showed that the sample with a SiO2/K2O molar ratio of 5 had better corrosion properties than the other samples. Adhesion and SEM tests also showed that B1 and C2 with respectively 5 and 10% acrylic derivatives had less holes, cracks, and better adhesive properties.

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
