Electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) is an effective method to remove chloride ions in reinforced concrete. In addition, cracks in concrete have selfhealing properties. The self-healing properties of concrete may affect the ECE process. Based on moving mesh technology, this paper simulates the ion migration process of ECE in crack-self-healing concrete. According to the simulation results, the distribution of ions in the reinforced concrete and the electric potential change law inside the concrete are analyzed during the ECE process. The effects of cracks or no cracks in the anode area of ECE, selfhealing or no self-healing, and different self-healing rates on the efficiency of ECE were discussed. This research will have a positive impact on ECE's research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
