  • Patent number: 9315906
    Abstract: To provide an anode, corrosion-protecting structure of a concrete constructions using this, and a corrosion protection method capable of protecting electrical corrosion, with little generation of gas due to electrolysis of water or chlorine compounds, by decreasing as far as possible the amount of processing performed on the structural body in on-site construction work and suppressing the voltage that is conducted therethrough to a low level. [Solution] A corrosion-protecting structure (1) is constituted by attaching an anode (10) to the surface layer (3) of a corrosion-protecting body (4) through a first electrolyte layer (12) on one face of a conductive layer (11) formed as a sheet. The electrolyte is formed as a sheet. The first electrolyte layer (12) having adhesiveness is attached to the conductive layer (11) and the surface layer (3) of the corrosion-protecting body (4).

  • Publication number: 20120018312
    Abstract: A semiconductor layer (12) is caused to receive electromagnetic waves (1) to emit electrons; the emitted electrons are collected and supplied to an object to be protected against corrosion; and the electrons (3) are returned from the object to be protected against corrosion (16), to which the electrons (2) are supplied, to the semiconductor layer (12) via an electrolytic layer (14), to thereby cause an electric current to flow to the object to be protected against corrosion (16) to make a potential of the object to be protected against corrosion (16) low. In a corrosion protection structure (10), an electron supplier (13) is electrically connected to a object to be protected against corrosion (16), to thereby provide corrosion protection, the electron supplier (13) being made of a semiconductor layer (12) formed on a supporting member (11) that is capable of transmitting electromagnetic waves and has electrical conductivity.
