Abstract

A huge amount of de-icing agent is sprayed during winter to promote traffic safety in cold regions, and the quantity of de-icing agent sprayed has increased each year. The main ingredients in commonly used de-icing agents are chlorides, such as calcium chloride($CaCl_2$) and sodium chloride(NaCl). While calcium chloride is mostly used in Korea and sodium chloride is usually used in the U.S. and Japan, all de-icing agents include chloride ions. The chlorides included in sprayed calcium chloride-based de-icing agents have severe adverse effects, including the corrosion of reinforcing steels through salt damage by infiltrating into road structures, reduced structural performance of pavement or damage to bridge structures, and surface scaling, in combination with freezing damage in winter, as well as water pollution. In addition, the deterioration of paved concrete road surface that occurs after the use of calcium chloride-based de-icing agent accelerates the development of visual problems with traffic structures. Therefore, the present study was performed to prepare an environment-friendly liquid de-icing agent through a reaction between waste organic acids and calcium-based by-products, which are industrial by-products, and to analyze the properties of the de-icing agent in order to evaluate its applicability to road facilities.

한랭지역의 동절기 교통안전을 위하여 제설제 살포가 다량으로 이루어지고 있는데, 그 살포량도 매년 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 일반적으로 사용되는 제설제는 염화칼슘($CaCl_2$), 염화나트륨(NaCl)과 같은 염화물계가 주성분으로, 국내에서는 대부분 염화칼슘을 주로 사용하고 있고, 미국이나 일본의 경우는 소금인 염화나트륨으로 모두 염소이온을 포함하고 있다. 염화칼슘 제설제가 포함하고 있는 염화물 때문에 제설제 살포시 염화물은 도로 구조물로 침투하여 염해에 의한 철근부식을 유발하여 실제 포장이나 손상된 교량 구조물 내에서의 구조적 성능저하를 야기하고, 동절기 동해와 함께 복합적으로 작용하여 표면 스케일링을 발생시키며, 특히 살포제에 의한 수질 오염과 같은 심각한 부작용을 초래하고 있다. 또한 콘크리트 도로포장 표면이 염화칼슘 제설제 사용 후 나타나는 열화현상으로 인하여 기존의 염화칼슘 제설제의 경우 시각적으로 교통 외관상 문제를 가속화시키고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 산업부산물인 폐유기산과 칼슘계부산물을 반응시켜 친환경 액상 제설제를 제조하고 그 특성을 분석하여 도로시설물에 적용가능성을 검토하였다.
