Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of accelerator preparation technology, specifically relating to a powdered accelerator masterbatch prepared from aluminum ash and aluminum slag and its production process. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the resource utilization of aluminum ash to prepare concrete quick-setting admixture masterbatch has become the mainstream direction for the high-value utilization of hazardous waste. This approach can not only achieve the compliant disposal of aluminum ash, but also prepare quick-setting admixtures that are in high demand in the building materials industry, thus balancing environmental and economic benefits.
[0003] Existing processes for preparing accelerators from aluminum ash mostly only involve basic pretreatment, mixing, calcination, and grinding, and generally suffer from several technical defects: First, dust generated in various stages of production is often directly discharged or recycled in a fixed proportion, easily leading to excessive chloride ion content and large fluctuations in active components in the accelerator masterbatch, directly affecting the stability of concrete setting time and later strength; Second, high-temperature and normal-temperature dust generated in different stages are not collected and centrally managed, resulting in poor recycling matching, low resource utilization, and the continued generation of secondary solid waste; Third, traditional processes lack intelligent recycling control mechanisms based on component detection, failing to balance aluminum ash resource utilization rate and product quality stability. Therefore, developing an aluminum ash-based accelerator masterbatch preparation process with online component detection and closed-loop recycling has become an urgent direction to be addressed in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a process for preparing powdered accelerator masterbatch using aluminum ash and aluminum slag. This invention involves a closed-loop pretreatment process to separate aluminum particles from the aluminum ash and slag, followed by high-temperature calcination to prepare clinker, and then fine grinding and packaging of the clinker. This is combined with core processes such as graded collection of dust collector ash and intelligent closed-loop recycling control of the dust collector ash, forming a comprehensive collaborative production solution that achieves both hazardous component control and a stable supply of active components. This solves the technical problems in existing aluminum ash accelerator preparation processes, including the accumulation of impurities and chloride ions due to the extensive recycling of dust collector ash, large fluctuations in product performance, low resource utilization, and the difficulty in balancing hazardous waste disposal and product quality stability. The powdered accelerator masterbatch prepared using this process, when applied to cement, can effectively optimize the structure of hydration products, exhibiting excellent accelerator setting performance and mechanical strength. The product quality is uniform and stable, with no secondary pollution throughout the process, resulting in significant environmental and economic benefits.
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a production process for preparing powdered quick-setting agent masterbatch using aluminum ash and aluminum slag, specifically including the following preparation steps: S1, Hazardous waste pretreatment and aluminum particle separation and recycling: Aluminum ash slag raw materials that meet the hazardous waste transportation specifications are transported in a sealed manner to a fully enclosed, leak-proof negative pressure pretreatment workshop. The aluminum ash slag raw materials are fed into a fully enclosed noise-reducing ball mill for grinding and crushing. After grinding to a particle size ≤5mm, they are graded and screened to separate aluminum particles and secondary aluminum ash. The dust-containing gas generated by the ball mill and screening equipment is collected by a gas collection hood and sent to the first bag filter for treatment. After purification, the exhaust gas meets the emission standards, and the pretreated dust is collected and transported to the dust buffer tank for temporary storage. The metallic aluminum particles obtained by screening and separation are transported to a special aluminum particle temporary storage area for sealed storage. S2, Ingredient mixing and calcination to prepare clinker: The secondary aluminum ash obtained in step S1 is precisely mixed with gravel and sodium carbonate in a ratio of 6-7:2-2.5:1-1.5. At the same time, a composite activator is added. The mixture is fed into a mixer via a closed screw conveyor and stirred evenly to obtain a mixed raw material. The mixed raw material is continuously fed into a rotary kiln for high-temperature calcination. The calcination temperature is controlled at 1100-1300℃ and the calcination time is 60-90 minutes. The secondary aluminum ash is rendered harmless through high-temperature calcination, and accelerator masterbatch clinker is generated. The high-temperature exhaust gas generated in the rotary kiln calcination section is sequentially purified through an SNCR denitrification system, a gravity dust collector, a cyclone dust collector, and a second bag filter to remove nitrogen oxides and dust from the exhaust gas. The purified exhaust gas meets emission standards. At the same time, the dust collected in the high-temperature section is transported to a dust ash buffer tank for temporary storage via a sealed pipeline. S3, Clinker Grinding and Finished Product Packaging: The quick-setting agent masterbatch clinker obtained in step S2 is ground by a ball mill and stored in a finished product storage tank for packaging and sale. The dust-laden gas generated in the grinding and packaging sections is collected by a gas collection hood and sent to the third bag filter for treatment. After purification, the exhaust gas is discharged. At the same time, the collected ambient temperature section dust is transported through a sealed pipeline to the dust buffer tank and mixed with the high temperature section dust and pre-treated dust to obtain mixed dust. S4, Intelligent Closed-Loop Recycling Control of Dust Collector Ash: An online component detection device is installed in the dust collector ash buffer tank to continuously detect the mixed dust collector ash in the tank in real time. Based on the detection results, the system automatically adjusts the process of recycling the mixed dust collector ash into the preparation of mixed raw materials in S2.
[0006] Furthermore, the composite activator comprises raw materials in the following mass ratio: metakaolin: dilute hydrochloric acid solution: gypsum dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O) = 3:9-15:1; The preparation method of the composite activator includes the following steps: (1) Pulverize the metakaolin and pass it through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain metakaolin powder. Take a dilute hydrochloric acid solution with a concentration of 1.0-1.5 mol / L, mix the metakaolin with the dilute hydrochloric acid solution, stir and activate it in a water bath at 60-80℃ for 90-120 min, filter it, wash it with deionized water until the pH of the filtrate is neutral, dry it at 105℃ to constant weight, and then calcine it at 400-500℃ for 60-90 min to obtain modified metakaolin. (2) The modified metakaolin is dried at a low temperature of 200-300℃ for 60-90 minutes. The dried modified metakaolin and gypsum dihydrate are then put into a high-speed mixer and dry-mixed for 10-15 minutes to obtain a uniform mixed powder. (3) Slowly spray 8-12% of the total mass of the mixed powder into the mixed powder, while stirring and wetting, so that the powder forms a uniform paste precursor. Dry the paste precursor at low temperature and then grind it into ultrafine powder with a particle size ≤45μm to obtain the composite activator.
[0007] Furthermore, the online component monitoring indicators include aluminum oxide (Al2O3) content, sodium oxide (Na2O) content, and chloride ion (Cl) content. - )content; The system control method for online component monitoring is as follows: When Cl is detected in the mixed dust... - When the content is <1.5wt% and the Al2O3 content meets the standard, the mixed dust is returned to step S2 through a sealed pipe at a first reuse ratio of 5-10%, and then mixed with secondary aluminum ash, gravel, and sodium carbonate before entering the rotary kiln for calcination. When Cl is detected in the mixed dust... - When the content is ≥1.5wt%, the recycling ratio is automatically reduced to the second recycling ratio of 1-5% and returned to step S2, or recycling is suspended and the dust is temporarily stored in a buffer tank. After being diluted with low-chlorine secondary aluminum ash until the chloride ion content meets the standard, it can be recycled. When the Al2O3 content in the mixed dust is detected to be lower than the preset threshold, the recycling ratio of the dust is automatically increased to replenish the effective aluminum content in the batching system and ensure the stable activity of the accelerator masterbatch.
[0008] The present invention also provides a powdered quick-setting agent masterbatch prepared from aluminum ash and aluminum slag, wherein the powdered quick-setting agent masterbatch prepared from aluminum ash and aluminum slag is prepared by any of the production processes described herein.
[0009] All dust from each work section is recycled in a closed loop with no external discharge. Small amounts of hazardous waste, such as waste packaging bags and waste engine oil, generated during the production process are collected and temporarily stored in a dedicated hazardous waste storage room. These wastes are then regularly handed over to a qualified hazardous waste disposal unit for unified treatment. The project generates no production wastewater. Initial rainwater is treated in a sedimentation tank, and domestic sewage is treated in an oil separator and septic tank before being discharged into the park's sewage network, achieving full-process environmental compliance.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: This invention employs a fully enclosed negative pressure operation and comprehensive dust control throughout the entire process, eliminating the risks of fugitive dust emissions, hazardous waste leakage, and secondary pollution at the source, achieving a balance between environmental benefits and production efficiency. The composite activator added to this invention is coupled with the intelligent closed-loop recycling control step for dust collector ash, resulting in enhanced efficiency. The modified metakaolin in the composite activator possesses abundant pore structure and ion exchange properties, efficiently adsorbing and fixing chloride ions that easily accumulate in the recycled dust collector ash, significantly reducing the harmful effects of chloride ions on concrete durability. This allows the system to safely increase the recycling ratio of dust collector ash while ensuring product performance. Simultaneously, the modified metakaolin can supplement the batching system with stable active aluminosilicate components, effectively smoothing fluctuations in Al2O3 content in the mixed dust collector ash and ensuring the stability of the accelerator masterbatch's activity. Furthermore, the composite activator can induce the rapid early formation of needle-like ettringite crystals in the cement paste, significantly shortening the initial and final setting times, improving early strength, and effectively preventing later strength reduction. This results in an accelerator masterbatch with both excellent accelering properties and long-term mechanical stability. The intelligent closed-loop recycling control steps for dust collector ash of this invention involve online synchronous detection of Cl in the mixed dust collector ash. - The process involves intelligently adjusting the reuse ratio based on Al2O3 content fluctuations, combined with the stabilizing effect of the composite activator, to achieve precise control of the ingredient system composition, resulting in uniform and stable quality of the accelerator masterbatch. The composite activator forms a low-temperature eutectic system with secondary aluminum ash and sodium carbonate, appropriately reducing the calcination activation energy and ensuring a more complete calcination reaction. Simultaneously, dust from different stages is collected and uniformly controlled for reuse, achieving closed-loop digestion of solid waste and significantly improving the overall utilization rate of aluminum ash resources, transforming the waste loss from traditional processes into resource recycling and efficiency enhancement. The accelerator masterbatch prepared by this process, through calcination for harmless treatment and intelligent reuse control, thoroughly decomposes harmful impurities in aluminum ash, ensuring environmental safety and no hidden dangers in the product. It also stably guarantees the balance of active components in the masterbatch, resulting in uniform and controllable product quality. It can be directly packaged and sold externally without the need for complex on-site secondary mixing, adapting to various construction scenarios and balancing environmental, resource, and economic benefits.

[0031] 2. Compressive Strength: Pour the required water (450g minus the water in the accelerator) and 900g cement into the mixing bowl in sequence. First, adjust the mixer to low speed and mix the cement and water in the bowl at low speed for 30 seconds. Then, evenly add 1350g of standard sand during the second 30-second period. Then, adjust to high speed and mix for 30 seconds, followed by a pause. The pause time is 90 seconds. During the pause, scrape any insufficiently mixed mortar adhering to the inner wall, bottom, and mixing blades of the mixing bowl back into the bowl. Then, continue mixing at high speed for 30 seconds, and then add the weighed liquid accelerator. The manual adjustment procedure is to first mix at low speed for 5 seconds, then at high speed for 15 seconds, and then stop. Then, quickly transfer the mortar to the mortar mold, and then vibrate it on a vibrating table for 30 seconds. Smooth the surface, mark it, and place it in a standard curing chamber with the mold on. After 24 hours, demold and determine the compressive strength at the specified age. Test the 1-day compressive strength and 28-day compressive strength, and record the results in Table 1.
[0032] 3. Chloride ion content: The determination method is the potentiometric titration method specified in GB / T 8077-2012 "Test Method for Homogeneity of Concrete Admixtures". Weigh 5g of sample and place it in a 250mL beaker. Add 100mL of water and 4mL of nitric acid, and heat to a gentle boil to completely dissolve the sample. After cooling, transfer to a 250mL volumetric flask, dilute with water to the mark, shake well, and filter dry. Accurately transfer 50.00mL of the above filtrate to a 250mL beaker, add 50mL of water, and perform potentiometric titration with a standardized silver nitrate standard solution (0.05mol / L) under magnetic stirring, using a silver electrode as the indicator electrode and a saturated calomel electrode as the reference electrode. Record the volume of silver nitrate standard solution consumed at the titration endpoint. Perform a blank test simultaneously.
[0033] Chloride ion content is calculated using the following formula: Among them, w C1V1 represents the mass fraction of chloride ions; C represents the concentration of silver nitrate standard solution (mol / L); V1 represents the volume of silver nitrate standard solution consumed in titrating the sample (mL); V0 represents the volume of silver nitrate standard solution consumed in titrating the blank (mL); and m represents the sample mass (g). The arithmetic mean of two parallel determinations is taken as the result, and the absolute difference between the two determinations should not exceed 0.05%. The test results are recorded in Table 1.
[0034] Table 1: Cement performance test table for powdered quick-setting agent masterbatch prepared by the present invention using aluminum ash and aluminum slag
[0035] As shown in Table 1, the accelerator masterbatches prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention have shorter initial and final setting times, excellent 1-day and 28-day compressive strengths, and low chloride ion content, resulting in the best overall performance. In Comparative Example 1, the elimination of the intelligent closed-loop recycling control step led to the accumulation of impurities and chloride ions in the system, resulting in a significantly prolonged setting time and a marked decrease in compressive strength. In Comparative Example 2, the omission of the composite activator caused a significant enrichment of chloride ions, resulting in poor performance. Comparative Example 3 only detected chloride ions without synergistic regulation of alumina content; although the chloride ion control effect was close to that of the examples, the effective aluminum component could not be accurately replenished, causing the early and later strengths to be significantly lower than those of this invention.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 (a) is a SEM image of blank cement after 1 h of hydration. Figure 2 (b) is a SEM image of cement paste containing the powdered quick-setting agent masterbatch prepared by aluminum ash and aluminum slag in Example 2 of the present invention after 1 h of hydration. As can be seen from the figure, in the blank cement paste, only some whiskers of hydration products are deposited on the surface of the cement paste. However, in the cement paste containing the powdered quick-setting agent masterbatch prepared by Example 2 of the present invention, needle-shaped ettringite can be clearly seen to be generated. This indicates that the incorporation of the powdered quick-setting agent masterbatch prepared by aluminum ash and aluminum slag in the present invention accelerates the hydration of C3A, promotes the generation of ettringite crystals, and thus shortens the setting time.
[0037] In summary, this invention organically combines closed pretreatment of aluminum ash slag, graded batching and calcination, fine grinding of finished product, and intelligent closed-loop recycling of dust collector ash to form a synergistic and efficient production process for powdered accelerator masterbatch. This not only achieves the harmless disposal and high-value utilization of hazardous waste but also avoids the accumulation of impurities and environmental pollution at the source. The composite activator added in this invention is coupled and enhanced with the intelligent closed-loop recycling control step of dust collector ash, enabling the system to safely increase the recycling ratio of dust collector ash while ensuring product performance. The accelerator masterbatch produced by this invention has excellent setting performance, mechanical strength, and product stability, effectively ensuring the complete development of cement hydration products and forming a dense and uniform hardened structure. Through the design of the intelligent closed-loop recycling control step of dust collector ash, this invention simultaneously achieves precise control of chloride ions and a stable supply of active aluminum components, possessing good prospects for industrial application and economic and environmental value.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
