Modelling Rhizophora Mangle L Bark-Extract Effects on Concrete Steel-Rebar in 0.5 M H2SO4: Implications on Concentration for Effective Corrosion-Inhibition
In this paper, electrochemical test-data were obtained from 0.5 M H2SO4-immersed steel-reinforced concrete admixed with different Rhizophora mangle L bark-extract concentrations and subjected to modelling analyses for studying corrosion-inhibition effectiveness. For this, macrocell current from zero-resistance ammeter and corrosion-rate from linear-polarization resistance instruments were respectively subjected to total-corrosion modelling as per ASTM G109-99a and statistical-distribution modelling as per ASTM G16-95 R04. Further analyses of these modelled test-results showed that the corrosion-rate correlated excellently (R = 95.04%, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency = 90.33%, p-value = 0.037) with function of the bark-extract concentration and the total-corrosion from the steel-reinforced concrete samples. In agreements, both experimental and correlation fitting models identified 0.167% Rhizophora mangle L bark-extract with good corrosion-inhibition efficiency, η = 73.30% (experimental) or η = 60.81% (correlation prediction). These bare implications on macrocell technique usage for complimenting identification of admixture concentration for effective corrosion-inhibition of concrete steel-rebar in the microbial/industrial simulating-environment studied
