Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of concrete admixture preparation, specifically a phosphonate water-reducing agent that is well adapted to cement, has low sulfate sensitivity, and good dispersibility and slump retention. Background Technology

[0002] Water-reducing agents are a class of polymer dispersants used in cementitious materials. Under the same solid content conditions, they can reduce the yield stress of the paste; or under the same yield stress conditions, they can increase the solid content of the paste. During concrete construction, the use of water-reducing agents can significantly improve its workability and mechanical properties. In the development history of water-reducing agents over the past few decades, it has gone through three stages: ordinary water-reducing agents, high-efficiency water-reducing agents, and high-performance water-reducing agents. Polycarboxylate superplasticizers, as the latest generation of water-reducing agents, are comb-shaped molecules with a carboxyl group containing negatively charged groups as the main chain and polyether as the long side chain. The long side chain polyether structure of polycarboxylate superplasticizers can provide effective steric hindrance, preventing the agglomeration of cement particles, thereby greatly improving the dispersion performance of the water-reducing agent. Due to its unique molecular structure (comb structure) and excellent application performance, it has received high attention from researchers at home and abroad, triggering a research boom in recent years. However, the compatibility between polycarboxylate superplasticizers and concrete raw materials has always been an important reason restricting the widespread use of polycarboxylate superplasticizers.

[0003] To address the compatibility issues of polycarboxylate superplasticizers with different types of cement and aggregates, engineers and researchers have conducted modification studies at the molecular structure level of superplasticizers based on research theories.

[0004] Patent CN201110310287.4 discloses a method for preparing a highly adaptable polycarboxylate superplasticizer. The method involves preparing a polycarboxylate superplasticizer via free radical copolymerization using a self-made macromonomer, butanol atactic polyether methacrylate, itaconic acid, sodium methacrylate sulfonate, and ethyl acrylate, initiated by ammonium persulfate. The innovation of this method lies in the preparation of an allyl ester macromonomer through esterification of methacrylic acid and butanol atactic polyether, followed by copolymerization with itaconic acid and ethyl acrylate to produce a polycarboxylate superplasticizer with strong adaptability to cement and silt-containing aggregates. Its advantages include: good adaptability to cement and silt-containing aggregates, low dosage, high water reduction rate, initial flowability of cement paste exceeding 290 mm (W / C = 0.29), good slump retention in concrete, readily available raw materials, a reasonable preparation process, no pollution during preparation, excellent product performance, and suitability for industrial production.

[0005] Patent CN201810245389.4 discloses a highly adaptable solid polycarboxylate superplasticizer and its bulk polymerization preparation method. This superplasticizer improves its adaptability by introducing phosphonic acid monomers. The solid polycarboxylate superplasticizer is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100-150 parts of allyl polyethylene glycol (APEG) monomer with a degree of polymerization of 33; 21.6-32.3 parts of either acrylic acid or methacrylic acid; 16.5-29.6 parts of either maleic anhydride or diallyl maleate; 2.5-6.6 parts of either styrene or sodium styrene sulfonate; 7.5-9.6 parts of unsaturated phosphonate monomers; and an initiator, which accounts for 1%-3% of the total mass of all monomers. The unsaturated phosphonate monomers are 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate phosphate or diethyl vinylphosphonate; the initiator is azobisisobutyronitrile, etc. This invention also provides a bulk polymerization preparation method for the solid polycarboxylate superplasticizer. The water-reducing agent of the present invention not only achieves high-performance water-reducing effect, but also has wide applicability. At the same time, the preparation process of the water-reducing agent is simple and environmentally friendly.

[0006] Patent CN201410366496.4 discloses a method for preparing a slow-release, highly adaptable polyester polycarboxylate superplasticizer. This method utilizes the principles of polymer structure design to synthesize a slow-release, non-ionic, mud-resistant polyester polycarboxylate superplasticizer product. This invention also discloses the slow-release, highly adaptable polyester polycarboxylate superplasticizer prepared by the method and its application in concrete. Compared with existing technologies, the polyester polycarboxylate superplasticizer of this invention has the following advantages: (1) The product's molecular structure contains ester and amide groups that are unstable in a strongly alkaline cement environment; (2) The amine cations generated by the hydrolysis of the amide groups have a sealing effect on negatively charged soil, achieving a mud-resistant effect; (3) It has a thickening effect on cement paste and delays the hydration of cement particles; (4) This product has a high water reduction rate, good slump retention over time, and high tolerance to soil; (5) This product has good adaptability to fly ash, mineral powder, stone powder, and clay.

[0022] The preparation method of the phosphonate water-reducing agent of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0023] (1) Polymerization of styrene with unsaturated polyether monomer: Add unsaturated polyether monomer to a dry flask, heat until the polyether melts and start stirring, add initiator, then add a mixture of styrene and chain transfer agent dropwise, control the dropwise addition time, continue the reaction for a period of time after dropwise addition, and obtain the polymer product;

[0026] (4) Preparation of phosphonate water-reducing agent: Water, phosphorous acid, formaldehyde and catalyst II are added to the amination product in step (3), and the reaction is carried out at a certain temperature for a period of time. Water and sodium hydroxide are added to neutralize to pH=3-7 to obtain the phosphonate water-reducing agent with the desired structure.

[0114] Application Examples

[0115] Application Example 1

[0116] Cement compatibility tests were conducted on the water-reducing agents in each embodiment and comparative example. Neat paste experiments were performed using Helin, Onoda, Benchmark, Zhongshan, and Conch Cement, respectively, to test their initial fluidity and loss over time.

[0117] Table 1 Evaluation Table of Cement Paste Flowability

[0118]

[0119]

[0120] As shown in Table 1, the phosphonate water-reducing agent prepared in this invention exhibits excellent dispersibility, high initial fluidity, good adaptability to cement, and good slump retention at a dosage of 0.10%, with minimal fluidity loss after 1 hour. Comparative Example S12 shows unstable fluidity performance in different cements, poor adaptability to cements, poor dispersibility in Onoda cement and Conch cement, and relatively poor fluidity loss over time. Evaluation of the paste performance of different cements shows that the synthesized phosphonate water-reducing agent has stronger adaptability to different cements.

[0121] Application Example 2

[0122] Sulfate resistance tests were conducted on the phosphonate water-reducing agent samples in each embodiment and comparative example. Neat mortar tests were performed using standard cement and standard sand. The sulfate resistance was investigated by adding different amounts of potassium sulfate. The water-reducing agent dosage was 0.1%. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0123] Table 2 Evaluation of Sulfate Resistance of Water-Reducing Agents

[0124]

[0125]

[0126] As shown in Table 2, all synthesized samples S1 and S4 exhibited better fluidity and fluidity retention over time than the control sample S12 in cement paste and mortar experiments with different amounts of potassium sulfate. This indicates that the synthesized phosphonate superplasticizer is not sensitive to sulfate dosage and has better sulfate resistance. This is because the phosphonate superplasticizer uses phosphonic acid groups as adsorption groups, which have stronger electronegativity and complexing ability for calcium ions compared to carboxylic acid groups. Therefore, it has stronger adsorption performance than polycarboxylic acid superplasticizers. When the sulfate content is too high, it is less affected by competitive adsorption by sulfate, thus exhibiting better sulfate resistance and stronger adaptability to cement.
