The invention discloses an additive for inhibiting mud
powder in
machine-made sand and a preparation method of the additive, and belongs to the technical field of building materials.The additive is prepared from a mud blocking component A, a sacrifice component B and a retarding component C. The mud blocking component A plays a role in neutralizing negative charges on the surfaces of mud
powder particles and can separate water from clay, and the sacrifice component B plays a role in retarding the mud
powder particles; water adsorbed by the
layered structure of the clay is reduced, so that
free water in the
cement paste is increased, and the
water demand of the concrete and the adsorption of the clay powder to an additive are reduced. The molecular structure of the sacrifice component B has the characteristics of short
side chain, high acid-
ether ratio, high
charge density and
small molecule, and can be adsorbed and inserted in a
layered structure of mud powder more quickly than a conventional polycarboxylic
acid water reducing agent, so that the adsorption of the mud powder on the water
reducing agent is reduced. The retarding component C can form a complex with
calcium ions in a solution, so that
precipitation of
calcium hydroxide is inhibited, hydration of
cement is delayed,
plasticity retaining property of concrete is improved,
cement particle distribution can be improved, and concrete shrinkage caused by mud powder is reduced.
