Abstract

The significance of ion activity in transport through a porous concrete material sample with steel rebar in its center and bathing solution is presented. For the first time, different conventions and models of ion activity are compared in their significance and influence on the ion fluxes. The study closes an interpretational gap between ion activity in a stand-alone (stagnant) electrolyte solution and ion transport (dynamic) through concrete pores. Ionic activity models developed in stationary systems, namely, the Debye–Hückel (DH), extended DH, Davies, Truesdell–Jones, and Pitzer models, were used for modeling the transport of ions driven through the activity gradient. The activities of ions are incorporated into a frame of the Nernst–Planck–Poisson (NPP) equations. Calculations were done with COMSOL software for a real concrete microstructure determined by X-ray computed tomography. The concentration profiles of four ions (Na+, Cl−, K+, OH−), the ionic strength, and the electric potential in mortar (with pores) and concrete samples (with aggregates and pores) are presented and compared. The Pitzer equation gave the most reliable results for all systems studied. The difference between the concentration profiles calculated with this equation and with the assumption of the ideality of the solution is negligible while the potential profiles are clearly distinguishable.
