Abstract
The influence of nitrite concentration on the corrosion of steel immersed in three simulated pH environments that really exist on the surface of steel in concrete has been investigated by comparing and analyzing the change of threshold level of Cl- and NO2-/Cl- mole ratio. The results indicate that with the presence of nitrite, the corrosion of steel can be inhibited effectively. Chloride threshold level increases with the increasing of nitrite concentration and highly alkaline environment plays an important role in assisting nitrite to inhibit corrosion. The use of NO2-/Cl- mole ratio as the parameter to guarantee the inhibition efficiency is suitable in highly alkaline environment, but not appropriate in weakly alkaline and neutral environments.
