Abstract: In this work, using the current densities of 1 A/m2, 2 A/m2 and 3 A/m2 to carry out electrochemical chlorine extraction (ECE) treatment for 30 days on concrete with different water-cement ratios (0.47, 0.38, 0.33), the corrosion state of steel bars, chlorine extraction efficiency and residual chloride concentration distribution were obtained to evaluate the effect of ECE treatment. Througth scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance test methods, explored the evolution rule of concrete hydration products and pore structure before and after ECE treatment. The results show that ECE treatment can prevent steel corrosion or restore passivation. The increase of the water-cement ratio and the current density would significantly increase the chlorine extraction efficiency of ECE. After ECE treatment, the content of Ca(OH)2 in concrete increased, and Ca(OH)2 crystals could fill the pores, so that the density of concrete near the anode increased and the porosity reduced, while the hydration products in concrete near the cathode were decomposed, resulting in porosity. After ECE treatment, the micropores (0.001—0.1 μm) in the concrete at the cathode evolved into mesopores (0.1—1 μm), which was unfavorable to the bond performance of steel-concrete.
