Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of geopolymer setting time detection device, and particularly relates to an ultrasonic wave detection geopolymer setting time device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Geopolymer refers to a kind of inorganic high polymer three-dimensional network structure cementitious material with Si-O-Al-O- as basic structural unit, which is generated by mineral polycondensation under the action of alkali activator, and is mostly solid waste, such as fly ash, slag, kaolin, coal gangue and the like. The reaction is carried out at room temperature, and high temperature calcination is not needed, so the production process has small carbon footprint. In recent years, due to the advantages of rich raw materials, excellent mechanical properties, strong durability, strong heavy metal ion sealing capacity and the like, geopolymer gradually replaces traditional Portland cement, and is widely used in fields of building construction, aviation, mine grouting, radiation sealing and the like as a kind of green cementitious material.
[0003] The formation process of early microstructure is crucial to geopolymer, because it directly determines the mechanical properties and durability of the material. According to the provisions of GB / T 1346-2011, the setting time of geopolymer is tested by using a Vicat apparatus, that is, the time required for the mixture to gradually harden from the plastic state to the non-plastic state after starting mixing, to characterize whether the geopolymer meets the construction requirements. The method is time-consuming and laborious, has high data discreteness, and has large human error. Each test causes damage to the geopolymer from the outside to the inside. In the forming process, affected by the component of raw material, the type and amount of activator, the nature of additive and the like, the setting time of geopolymer has a wide span, from 8 minutes to 48 hours. In order to obtain the information of early alkali-activated polycondensation process of geopolymer and realize continuous nondestructive monitoring, it is necessary to design a new device for detecting the setting time of geopolymer.
