Investigation of the leaching behavior of mortar pipe lining in drinking water

Abstract

The leaching behavior of three types of mortars was investigated using a self-design device which could simulate the field conditions of pipe lining. The results by ICP and ESEM measurement show that the developed slag cement mortar is suitable for the lining of cast iron pipe that is used for delivering drinking water.
