Influence of Water with Oxygen and Ozone Micro-Nano Bubbles on Concrete Physical Properties

Abstract

In this study, the possibility of using mixing water containing O2 and O3 micro-nano bubbles (M-NBs) in concrete technology was investigated. In particular, the effect of micro-nano bubbles on the durability and frost resistance of concrete was analyzed. Concretes with two types of micro-nano bubbles were studied. The physical properties of both the modified concretes and the reference concrete were determined, i.e., specific and apparent density, porosity, weight absorption and coefficient of water absorption. Mechanical parameters based on compressive and flexural strength were tested after 14 and 28 days of curing. Concrete durability was determined on the basis of frost resistance and resistance to salt crystallization. The pore distribution in the cement matrix was determined based on porosimetry studies. The use of water with micro-nano bubbles of O2 and O3, among others, contributed to a reduction in the water absorption coefficient from 42.7% to 52.3%, in comparison to the reference concrete. The strength characterizing the concrete with O3 increased by 61% after 28 days, and the frost resistance after 150 F-T cycles increased by 2.4 times. Resistance to salt crystallization improved by 11% when water with O3 was used.

The Possibility of Using Sewage Sludge Pellets as Thermal Insulation

“…Its advantage is that it does not require only quantitative type data. In the past, the method has been used in work on contaminants in the water environment [35,36], the effect of water on the physical properties of concrete [37], but also haptic analysis of physical measurements of roughness and compressibility of materials [38].…”

Influence of Ultrahigh Dilution Treatment of the Charge on the Growth and Spectroscopic Properties of Nd:MgMoO4 Potential Laser Crystal

“…They can have a number of profound effects when the precise and exact properties of systems are of the utmost importance. For example, it is known that nanobubbles affect cement hardening [20,21] and petroleum properties [22][23][24].…”
