Investigating The Effect Of Bentonite Clay Compaction Density On The Corrosion Of Copper Materials, Claire Samantha Tully
Investigating The Effect Of Bentonite Clay Compaction Density On The Corrosion Of Copper Materials, Claire Samantha Tully
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
As per international consensus on the best practice for managing used nuclear fuel (UNF), the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) plan to isolate and contain UNF within a multiple-barrier system, underground in a deep geological repository (DGR). In the proposed design, used fuel bundles will be sealed in copper-coated carbon steel used fuel containers (UFCs), encased in blocks of highly compacted bentonite clay, and emplaced ~500-800 m (depending on host rock geology) below ground. Any gaps between the rock walls and the compacted bentonite blocks will be filled with a bentonite gap fill material (GFM).
The compacted bentonite material serves …

In the industrial world, to extend the service life of materials, protection methods are carried out to slow down the material's corrosion rate. The protection method that is often used is the coating method. The coating method is a protection method by coating the substrate material using a coating material to prevent contact between the substrate material and the environment. In this research, the substrate material used is ASTM A36 steel and the coating material used is Surface Tolerant Epoxy paint. The independent variable used in this study lies in the surface preparation method which consists of: solvent cleaning, hand …

Corrosion Inhibitors: Mitigating The Degradation Of Rebar, Jake R. Hughes
Corrosion Inhibitors: Mitigating The Degradation Of Rebar, Jake R. Hughes
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Our conjecture was twofold: first, that two compounds historically used as food preservatives could act as environmentally friendly inhibitors against rebar corrosion, and second, that molecular properties have a quantifiable influence on inhibition efficiency (%IE). To evaluate the two compounds, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization was used to determine corrosion current density (icorr) and %IE. The “green” inhibitor candidates included sodium metabisulfite and ascorbic acid, which yielded maximum %IE values of -123900% and 91%, respectively. Results indicated that sodium metabisulfite is not a suitable inhibitor, while ascorbic acid showed potential to extend reinforced concrete’s design life without posing health or …
