Abstract
The study explores a different strategy to develop SiO2 composite through the processing of fine-recycled concrete aggregate (f-RCA derived SiO2 composite) to utilise as an effective additive in hot-dip zinc and zinc-phosphate coatings. The integration of f-RCA derived SiO2 composite into the Zn and Zn-phosphate coatings results in their structural and morphological reformation, and leads to the formation of coatings with topographical features favorable to offer resistance against corrosion and wear/friction. The overall comparison of protective characteristics of the coatings confirm ‘Zn-phosphate/f-RCA derived SiO2 composite coating’ as the best with superior corrosion resistance (CR = 0.94 ± 0.02 × 10−2 mmpy), wear resistance (low specific wear rate of: 3.55 × 10−5 mm3/Nm), and friction resistance (low coefficient of friction of: 0.39). The attractive characteristics of composite coating confirm the use of f-RCA derived SiO2 composite as the best choice of additive in hot-dip Zn and Zn-phosphate coatings to realize effective structural/morphological reformation favorable to achieve better protection against corrosion and wear, in comparison with the use of pure SiO2 as additive. Therefore, the approach of developing SiO2 composite explores in this study may pave new path for the effective utilisation of f-RCA and widen the scope for concrete waste recycling.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry is published monthly in English by the Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. JIEC brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal and is to disseminate information on all aspects of research and development in industrial and engineering chemistry. Contributions in the form of research articles, short communications, notes and reviews are considered for publication. The editors welcome original contributions that have not been and are not to be published elsewhere. Instruction to authors and a manuscript submissions form are printed at the end of each issue. Bulk reprints of individual articles can be ordered. This publication is partially supported by Korea Research Foundation and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.
