Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, and in particular to a modified rubber particle based on microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition, its preparation method, and a rubber cement-based material. Background Technology

[0002] Processing waste tires into rubber granules and incorporating them into cement-based materials can effectively improve the toughness, impact resistance, and durability of the materials, giving rubber-cement-based materials good application potential in road engineering and construction. However, the surface of rubber granules is hydrophobic, resulting in poor adhesion between the granules and the cement matrix and a weak interfacial transition zone. This leads to a significant decrease in the mechanical properties of rubber-cement-based materials, limiting their engineering application. Therefore, numerous studies have focused on improving the interfacial adhesion between rubber granules and cement-based materials to enhance mechanical properties. The main approaches include surface modification of rubber granules and the incorporation of functional admixtures. However, existing methods still have significant limitations: physical pretreatment is difficult to change the hydrophobic nature of rubber, resulting in limited modification effects; chemical pretreatment often involves harmful reagents, posing environmental risks, and the treated surface-active substances may age and degrade over time, leading to deterioration of interfacial properties; directly adding admixtures can easily reduce the fluidity of the mixture, introduce internal defects, and fail to fundamentally solve the problem of the weak rubber-cement interfacial transition zone.

[0003] Microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition technology utilizes the metabolism of specific mineralizing microorganisms to induce the formation of calcium carbonate crystals in the presence of suitable substrates. These calcium carbonate crystals exhibit good compatibility with cement-based materials, and previous studies have attempted to use them for the modification of rubber granules to improve the strength of rubber-cement composites. However, due to the strong hydrophobicity of rubber granule surfaces, traditional soaking methods struggle to effectively adsorb microorganisms onto the surface, resulting in limited calcium carbonate formation and unsatisfactory modification effects.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a green, efficient method for preparing modified rubber particles that can comprehensively improve the surface properties of rubber and significantly enhance the mechanical properties of rubber cementitious materials.

[0015] The present invention also provides modified rubber particles based on microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition prepared by the above preparation method.

[0017] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The method for preparing modified rubber particles based on microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition described in this invention can significantly increase the adsorption capacity of bacteria on the surface of rubber particles, thereby increasing the amount of calcium carbonate crystals generated on the surface of the rubber particles. This successfully yields modified rubber particles with a surface covered by a layer of calcium carbonate crystals, exhibiting high surface roughness, a small water contact angle (60~90°), good hydrophilicity, and strong mechanical bonding with the cement matrix. Furthermore, the modified rubber particles prepared using this method can increase the 28-day compressive strength of rubber cement-based materials by 20~40%. In other words, the preparation method described in this invention not only comprehensively improves the surface properties of rubber particles but also significantly enhances the mechanical properties of rubber cement-based materials, demonstrating a very broad application prospect.

[0044] Comparative Example 1

[0045] The only difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that the modified rubber particles based on microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition are replaced with unmodified rubber particles, while other conditions remain unchanged, resulting in a rubber cement-based material (denoted as unmodified rubber cement mortar).

[0046] Comparative Example 2

[0047] The only difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that the modified rubber particles were prepared by the traditional soaking method. The specific preparation method of the modified rubber particles by the traditional soaking method is as follows: the rubber particles are directly placed in the bacterial solution (same as in Example 1) for soaking treatment, without cultivation and immobilization under suitable environmental conditions, to obtain rubber particles adsorbed with mineralized microorganisms.

Figure 2 This is a SEM image of the modified rubber particles based on microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition prepared in Example 1 at a magnification of 500. Figures 1-2 As can be seen, after microbial mineralization modification of rubber particles, a dense calcium carbonate layer is generated on the surface of the rubber particles. The calcium carbonate crystal coating significantly increases the surface roughness of the rubber particles and enhances the mechanical interlocking force with the cement matrix. That is, compared with the unmodified rubber particles, the performance of the modified rubber particles is significantly improved.

Figure 4 This is a SEM image of the rubber particles adsorbed with mineralizing microorganisms prepared in Example 1 at a magnification of 2000. Figures 3-4 As can be seen, compared with the traditional soaking method, the rubber particles modified by the preparation method described in this invention have more mineralized bacteria adsorbed on their surface.

[0050] The water contact angles of the modified rubber particles based on microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition prepared in Example 1 (denoted as modified) and the unmodified rubber particles in Comparative Example 1 (denoted as unmodified) were measured, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, from Figure 5As can be seen, the water contact angle of the unmodified rubber particles is 128°, while after microbial mineralization modification, the water contact angle of the rubber particles is reduced to 81°, indicating that the hydrophilicity of the modified rubber particles prepared by the preparation method described in this invention is significantly enhanced.

[0051] The compressive strength of the rubber cementitious materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was tested according to the "Test Procedure for Hydraulic Concrete" (DL / T 5150-2017). The test results are as follows. Figure 6 As shown, from Figure 6 As can be seen from the data, compared with Comparative Example 1, the 28-day compressive strength of the rubber cement-based material prepared using modified rubber particles based on microbial-induced calcium carbonate deposition increased by 32%, which shows that the method described in this invention can effectively improve the mechanical properties of rubber cement-based materials.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
