Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of foamed cement, and in particular to a method for preparing lightweight foamed cement by using split-type micro-equipment. Background Art
[0002] Foamed cement composite panels are lightweight, durable, thermally insulating, soundproof, waterproof, and have minimal shrinkage. This combination of excellent properties allows for flexible application in various construction applications, significantly improving energy efficiency, fire resistance, and construction speed. Portland cement is generally the preferred cement material. However, compared to ordinary Portland cement, basic magnesium sulfate cement offers advantages such as higher strength (approximately 30%-50% higher than ordinary Portland general-purpose cement), faster hardening, and lower alkalinity. Therefore, it is necessary to design a basic magnesium sulfate foamed cement material with excellent performance. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing lightweight foamed cement using a split micro-device, so as to obtain a basic magnesium sulfate foamed cement material with excellent performance.
[0004] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows: A method for preparing lightweight foamed cement using a split micro-device comprises the following steps: 500-550 g of MgSO4·7H2O was weighed and dissolved in 500-800 mL of water. The mixture was stirred in a water bath at 50-55° C. to fully dissolve the mixture. 13.2-13.5 g of citric acid was added and stirred at a speed of 300-320 r / min for 15-20 min. Then, 11-13 g of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as a foaming agent was added to obtain a magnesium sulfate solution containing a large amount of foam in a foaming machine. Then, 455-460 g of α-MgO and 48-98 g of a slow-release water reducer were slowly added. The mixture was stirred at a high speed of 1500-1800 r / min to cause a hydration and gelling reaction to occur, thereby obtaining a basic magnesium sulfate foam slurry. The foamed slurry was poured into a mold of 50 mm×50 mm×50 mm, cured at 20-25° C. and a humidity of 55-58% for 20-24 h, and then demolded to obtain basic magnesium sulfate foamed cement.
[0005] Preferably, the mass of the MgSO4·7H2O is 500 g.
[0006] Preferably, the mass of the citric acid is 13.2 g.
[0007] Preferably, the mass of the foaming agent is 11 g.
[0008] Preferably, the humidity is 55%.
[0009] Preferably, the curing time is 24 hours.
[0010] Preferably, the curing temperature is 20°C.
[0011] Preferably, the stirring speed is 320 r / min.
[0012] The present invention can significantly improve the compressive strength of the foamed cement by adding an appropriate amount of a slow-release water-reducing agent to the basic magnesium sulfate foamed cement material. Specifically, as the amount of the slow-release water-reducing agent increases, the compressive strength of the foamed cement shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. At the same time, the dry density of the foamed cement gradually increases. Since the foamed cement material pursues a lighter texture, the amount of the slow-release water-reducing agent needs to be strictly controlled during actual use. On the other hand, the present invention uses a split micro-device with a foaming machine and a stirrer separated, which can obtain a more delicate and uniform foam during the foaming process.

[0026] Comparative Example 2 500 g of MgSO4·7H2O was weighed and dissolved in 500 mL of water.

[0027] Next, we evaluated the 7d compressive strength and dry density of the samples in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.
[0028] Table 1 Test data of each sample
[0029] As shown in Table 1, adding an appropriate amount of slow-release water reducer to basic magnesium sulfate foamed cement significantly improves the compressive strength of the foamed cement. Specifically, as the amount of slow-release water reducer increases, the compressive strength of the foamed cement initially increases and then decreases. Simultaneously, the dry density of the foamed cement gradually increases. Because foamed cement materials are designed to be lightweight, the amount of slow-release water reducer must be strictly controlled in actual use.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
