Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of non-fired brick technology, and in particular to non-fired bricks prepared using polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings. Background Technology
[0002] Polyaluminum chloride slag is the filter residue produced during the production of polyaluminum chloride. The production ratio of polyaluminum chloride to polyaluminum chloride slag is 100:15. Polyaluminum chloride slag is weakly acidic and contains a certain amount of chloride salts. Although it is managed as general solid waste, its output can reach millions of tons per year. If not treated in a timely manner, it can still cause harm to the environment.
[0003] Tailings are solid mineral waste formed by the natural dewatering of tailings slurry discharged from mineral processing plants, and belong to composite silicate mineral materials. Currently, the main methods for treating tailings include backfilling of mining areas, using them as building materials, coastal land reclamation, road construction, and dam construction. Since the amount of tailings discharged can reach billions of tons annually, existing treatment methods are insufficient to handle all of them. Therefore, actively seeking new resource utilization pathways for tailings has always been a research direction for relevant scholars.
[0004] Currently, there has been some research on using polyaluminum chloride slag or tailings to make bricks.
[0005] The invention patent with application number CN202211583977.1 discloses a method for preparing lightweight, high-strength, heat-insulating foam bricks using tailings solid waste resources. It solves the problems of insufficient fixing methods during foam brick assembly, loosening between multiple foam bricks, and difficulty in installing sound insulation materials between adjacent foam bricks, resulting in inadequate sound insulation. However, this patented technology does not improve the foam brick material itself, nor does it mention the raw material ratio or preparation process. It only improves the splicing structure of the foam bricks and is insufficient to guide how tailings can be applied to brick preparation.
[0006] Chinese patent application CN201711204591.4 discloses a method for preparing non-fired bricks using polyaluminum chloride residue from a waste-based process as the main material, aiming to provide a non-fired brick with high structural strength and long service life. The non-fired brick uses polyaluminum chloride residue, lime, cement, and gypsum as raw materials, and requires steam curing during the preparation process (curing temperature 100℃, curing humidity 95%RH). The resulting non-fired brick has a compressive strength of 20 MPa. This patented technology has drawbacks: slightly higher raw material costs (requiring the addition of cement), a slightly more complex preparation process (using steam curing), and relatively lower compressive strength of the resulting non-fired brick. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a non-fired brick prepared using polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings. It uses these two solid wastes, polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings, in the preparation of non-fired bricks. Through unique raw material ratio and process design, it achieves the preparation of non-fired bricks with low raw material cost, simple preparation process and high compressive strength.
[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is: non-fired bricks prepared using polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings, wherein the raw materials used and the weight parts of each raw material are as follows: 100 parts of dry mixture and 13-17 parts of distilled water; the raw material composition and the weight parts of each raw material in the dry mixture are as follows: 40-60 parts of polyaluminum chloride slag, 30-50 parts of tailings, and 15-25 parts of quicklime.
[0009] A further technical solution of the present invention is: non-fired bricks prepared using polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings, wherein the raw materials used and the weight parts of each raw material are as follows: 100 parts of dry mixture and 15 parts of distilled water; the raw material composition and the weight parts of each raw material in the dry mixture are as follows: 50 parts of polyaluminum chloride slag, 50 parts of tailings, and 20 parts of quicklime.
[0010] A further technical solution of the present invention is: non-fired bricks prepared using polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings, wherein the raw materials used and the weight parts of each raw material are as follows: 100 parts of dry mixture and 17 parts of distilled water; the raw material composition and the weight parts of each raw material in the dry mixture are as follows: 60 parts of polyaluminum chloride slag, 40 parts of tailings, and 15 parts of quicklime.
[0011] A further technical solution of the present invention is: non-fired bricks prepared using polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings, wherein the raw materials used and the weight parts of each raw material are as follows: 100 parts of dry mixture and 13 parts of distilled water; the raw material composition and the weight parts of each raw material in the dry mixture are as follows: 70 parts of polyaluminum chloride slag, 30 parts of tailings, and 20 parts of quicklime.
[0012] A further technical solution of the present invention is: non-fired bricks prepared using polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings, wherein the raw materials used and the weight parts of each raw material are as follows: 100 parts of dry mixture and 13 parts of distilled water; the composition of the raw materials in the dry mixture and the weight parts of each raw material are as follows: 55 parts of polyaluminum chloride slag, 45 parts of tailings, and 25 parts of quicklime.
[0013] The technical solution of the present invention is: a method for preparing the above-mentioned non-fired bricks made from polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings, comprising the following steps:
[0014] S01, Raw material pretreatment: Dry the polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings separately. After both are naturally cooled, crush the polyaluminum chloride slag and pass it through a 50-80 mesh sieve. Crush the tailings and pass it through a 100 mesh sieve.
[0015] S02, Preparation of the mixture: Based on the raw material composition and weight ratio of each raw material in the dry mixture, weigh out polyaluminum chloride slag, tailings ore and quicklime (powder), and mix them thoroughly to obtain the dry mixture; then add 13%-17% of the weight of the dry mixture of distilled water, and mix thoroughly to obtain the mixture.
[0016] S03, aging: The mixture is aged at room temperature for 20-24 hours to ensure that the raw materials are fully mixed and homogenized, and to carry out ion exchange, so that the silicate minerals in the raw materials come into contact with water and hydrolyze into cementing substances, thereby improving the plasticity of the raw materials.
[0017] S04, Press molding: Using pressing equipment, the aged mixture is pressed under a pressure of 30-40MPa for 40-60s to obtain brick blanks;
[0018] S05, ambient temperature curing: Cur the brick blanks in a natural environment (at normal temperature and pressure) for 7 days, and sprinkle water on the surface of the brick blanks once every 3 days to prevent the brick blanks from cracking and to provide sufficient moisture for the hydration reaction;
[0019] S06, Drying: Dry the unfired bricks that have been cured to the target number of days in an oven at 100-105℃ for 10 hours to obtain the finished unfired bricks.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0021] It provides a non-fired brick made primarily from polyaluminum chloride slag and tailings, with quicklime and distilled water as auxiliary materials. This enables the resource utilization of these two solid wastes, and features low raw material costs (these two solid wastes account for a relatively high proportion), a simple preparation process (using ambient temperature curing treatment), and no toxic byproducts.
[0022] Through the synergistic effect (hydration reaction) between the raw material components, the non-fired bricks have excellent mechanical properties (the finished product compressive strength can reach 20-36MPa), and the relatively simple room temperature curing process can be used in its preparation.
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the figures and embodiments. Attached Figure Description
