Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a dense solid gypsum building block produced by using high temperature gypsum and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of building materials. Background Art
[0002] Gypsum is one of the three traditional cementitious materials. Theoretically, dihydrate gypsum is calcined at 360℃~900℃ to produce type II anhydrous gypsum (CaSO4Ⅱ). Generally, high-temperature gypsum refers to high-temperature gypsum (CaSO4Ⅱ-E) produced at a calcination temperature exceeding 700℃~900℃. Natural gypsum and industrial by-product gypsum are the main raw materials for the production of high-temperature gypsum.
[0003] Types of industrial by-product gypsum include: phosphogypsum, desulfurized gypsum, titanium gypsum, fluorinated gypsum, mirabilite gypsum, citric acid gypsum, salt gypsum, boric gypsum, ceramic waste mold gypsum, waste gypsum board, tartaric acid gypsum, lactic acid gypsum and other organic acid gypsum, etc. Most of these industrial by-product gypsums can be used to produce high-temperature gypsum. The raw materials are widely available, cheap and environmentally friendly.
[0004] Dense solid gypsum blocks are widely used, especially in areas with high fire resistance requirements such as hospitals, schools, underground parking firewalls, industrial plant partitions, data centers, etc. However, there is currently no method for producing dense gypsum blocks using high temperature gypsum (CaSO4Ⅱ-E).
[0005] Patent CN1919781A discloses a gypsum block made of chemical gypsum and industrial waste and a preparation method thereof, which is a gypsum block with strong water resistance and good sound insulation made of chemical gypsum and industrial waste and a preparation method thereof. The special features of the invention are: the chemical gypsum is composed of two components, anhydrous gypsum with different hydration speeds and different crystal structures after hydration and semi-hydrated gypsum prepared by frying, the ratio of anhydrous gypsum to semi-hydrated gypsum is 2:1-3:1; the ratio of cement whose hydration process is a shrinkage process and anhydrous gypsum whose hydration process is a micro-expansion process is 1:12-1:3; the raw materials do not contain lightweight aggregates that reduce the bulk density of the product, and the raw materials are added with air entraining agents that can generate dispersed micro bubbles in the blocks. The invention makes use of a large amount of industrial waste, and the raw materials are cheap and available, which is waste-recycling, energy-saving and environmentally friendly. It overcomes the weakness of poor water resistance of traditional gypsum blocks, and has better strength, heat preservation, heat insulation and sound insulation performance.
