Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of geopolymer composite materials, in particular to a foamed EGC material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the proportion of building energy consumption in the total social energy consumption has increased year by year. With the increasing requirements for green environmental protection and building energy conservation, the demand for inorganic building insulation materials will increase significantly. Foamed geopolymer is a new type of inorganic insulation material containing a large number of closed pores, which can be used in the field of building insulation.
[0003] Geopolymer materials have advantages such as high compressive strength and low cost, but as a brittle material, they have low flexural and tensile strength and are prone to cracking, which often leads to reduced structural bearing capacity and durability. Ultra-high ductility geopolymer-based composite materials (Engineered Geopolymer Composite, referred to as EGC) are geopolymers with an appropriate amount of fiber added to them, which significantly changes their brittle characteristics, giving them superior tensile properties and super toughness, overcoming many defects caused by brittle failure of materials, and having good crack control capabilities, which is also very beneficial to the requirements of some special structures for crack width control. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is a foamed EGC material to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] Preferably, the slag is blast furnace S105 slag.
[0007] Preferably, the fly ash is Class F fly ash.
[0008] Preferably, the No. 9 sand has a particle size of about 76um-150um and a density of 2.65g / cm 3 of quartz sand.
[0009] Preferably, the PE fiber is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber with a single fiber length of 12 mm and a diameter of 24 μm.
[0010] A method for preparing a lightweight foamed fiber geopolymer-based composite material comprises the following steps:
[0011] Step 1: first dissolve the sodium hydroxide solid and mix it with the sodium silicate solution to form an alkaline excitation solution;
[0012] Step 2: First, put slag, fly ash, silica fume and No. 9 sand into a mortar planetary mixer and stir at low speed for 3 minutes;
[0013] Step 3: Slowly pour the alkali-activated solution and styrene-acrylic emulsion into the mixture, stir at low speed for 2 minutes, then at high speed for 1 minute.
[0014] Step 4: Sprinkle the fibers evenly within 2 minutes, and then stir at high speed for 1 minute to obtain the foamed EGC material.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The present invention uses a large amount of solid waste slag and fly ash as gel material, which reduces the use of ordinary Portland cement, reduces production energy consumption and environmental pollution, and is green and environmentally friendly.
[0017] 2. The composite material prepared by the present invention has the advantages of low density, tight microstructure bridging and high ductility.
