Popis: In order to investigate the influence of slag on the leaching behavior of cement mortar lined in ductile iron pipe in a flowing solution, two types of ductile iron pipe specimens lined with ordinary- and 40% slag- cement mortar are firstly prepared, then, an accelerated leaching experiment on the prepared specimens is carried out by using a 6 M ammonium chloride solution at a flow rate of 0.3 m/s. The parameters of linings at different leaching times, such as porosity, pore size distribution, phase composition and Calcium-Silicon (Ca/Si) ratio, were analyzed by using the saturation-drying weighing method, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy in back scattered electron mode (ESEM-BSE) measurements. Results show that, the mixture of 40% slag in cement-mortar lining can reduce its initial porosity and Calcium-Silicon ratio, and improve its pore size distribution and phase composition. In the accelerated leaching process, the porosity, phase composition and Calcium-Silicon ratio of the slag-cement-mortar lining with 40% slag have smaller change than that of the ordinary-cement-mortar lining without slag, and it indicates that the addition of slag can effectively improve the calcium leaching resistance of cement-mortar lining in ductile iron pipes in water supply engineering.
