Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building engineering materials, and particularly relates to a low-carbon plant-growing concrete cementitious material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of cities, the application of concrete is increasingly wide. As the most widely used artificial building material in the world, concrete not only needs to have good building practical performance, but also needs to consider its environmental impact.

[0003] The traditional Portland cement concrete consumes a large amount of natural resources and significantly destroys the ecology. Cement production is a major industry of CO2 emission. According to the statistics, the carbon emission of producing one ton of Portland cement clinker is about one ton. At the same time, the pore solution pH value of ordinary Portland cement concrete is as high as 12-13. The excessively high pH value causes the soil of plant-growing concrete to contain a large amount of exchangeable sodium ions and hydroxide ions, resulting in soil particle dispersion and hardening after drying, which affects the growth and development of plants. Therefore, exploring low-carbon and low-alkali cementitious materials plays a significant role in the development of plant-growing concrete.

[0004] Foreign research and practice results show that the main method for reducing the pH value of plant-growing concrete cementitious material is to add active materials to consume calcium hydroxide produced in the cement hydration process or to change the cement clinker so that no or little calcium hydroxide is produced in the cement hydration process. So far, there are many patent documents about low-pH-value concrete or cementitious materials and their preparation methods. For example, Chinese patent CN107548949A discloses a low-alkalinity cementitious material for plant-growing concrete and a preparation method thereof. The material uses 20%-30% Portland cement as an auxiliary cementitious material, and the pH value of the soaking liquid after solidification is 9.0-9.5, which can provide growth conditions for plants. Chinese patent CN112876183B provides a plant-growing lightweight porous concrete and a preparation method thereof. The cementitious material is composed of slag Portland cement, water, river sand, sludge ceramic, fly ash, silica fume, acrylic emulsion and polycarboxylic acid water reducer. The pH value of the material is less than 11, and the mechanical performance required by plant-growing concrete can be met. However, an alkali reduction soaking treatment step is still needed after molding, and the low-pH-value cementitious material mainly uses geopolymer-based cement or a large amount of Portland cement as the base material. However, using these raw materials still needs a large amount of energy consumption, and the cost is high. The proportion of Portland cement is about 20-30%, which does not meet the green and environmental protection concept. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a low-carbon plant-growing concrete binder and a preparation method thereof. The plant-growing concrete binder has good adhesion, early strength and fast hardening characteristics, can be formed at room temperature without curing, has a low pH value to meet the normal growth of plants, has a low raw material cost, a simple preparation process, and meets the requirements of green environmental protection.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0008] Mineral powder 45%-65%;

[0009] Fly ash 15%-25%;

[0010] Silica fume 0.5%-6%;

[0011] High-strength sulphoaluminate cement clinker 4%-10%;

[0012] Gypsum 5%-30%.

[0013] Preferably, the specific surface area of the high-strength sulphoaluminate cement clinker is 460 m 2 kg -1 , and the 7d compressive strength can reach 28.5MPa.

[0014] Preferably, the plant-growing concrete binder further comprises ≤3% of an additive in mass percentage.

[0015] Preferably, the additive comprises a water-reducing agent and / or a retarder.

[0016] Preferably, the water-reducing agent is a polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent, and the retarder is sodium borate.

[0017] Preferably, the mineral powder is a mineral powder with an alkaline coefficient M0 less than 1, and the 28d activity index of the mineral powder is 103%.

[0018] Preferably, the gypsum is anhydrous gypsum, and the main mineral is calcium sulfate.

[0019] Preferably, the fly ash is a first-grade fly ash produced by a power plant.

[0020] Preferably, the silica fume has an average particle size of 0.12µm and a loss on ignition of 3.72%-4%.

[0021] Another purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of the low-carbon vegetated concrete cementitious material, comprising the following steps: uniformly mixing 45%-65% of mineral powder, 15%-25% of fly ash, 5%-30% of gypsum, 4%-10% of high-strength sulphoaluminate cement clinker and 0.5%-6% of silica fume, uniformly mixing the mixture by adding water solution or additive agent according to a water-binder ratio of 0.3-0.5, and obtaining the low-carbon vegetated concrete cementitious material.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
