Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of concrete technology, specifically relating to an inorganic anti-carbonation coating, its preparation method and application, and an inorganic anti-carbonation coating layer. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete durability is a crucial property, referring to its ability to resist damage in various service environments. Insufficient durability leads to concrete deterioration, significantly shortening its service life, while maintenance and repair result in substantial economic losses. To improve concrete durability and extend its lifespan, numerous studies have been conducted. Current technologies utilize coatings to treat the concrete surface, forming a protective barrier to prevent damage from corrosive ions. Organic coatings, such as polyurethane, epoxy resin, and acrylic resin, are widely used. These protect concrete from erosion by shielding it from corrosive agents and reducing water and gas penetration. However, these organic polymer coatings exhibit poor durability under ultraviolet radiation.
[0003] Inorganic coatings can solve the problem of poor durability. In the existing technology, geopolymers prepared from 90% metakaolin (MK) and 10% granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) are usually used as raw materials for inorganic coatings. They have good durability, but geopolymers have high shrinkage and will cause cracking during use, resulting in poor adhesion. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inorganic anti-carbonation coating, its preparation method and application, and an inorganic anti-carbonation coating. The inorganic anti-carbonation coating provided by this invention has excellent adhesion to concrete.
[0005] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the following technical solutions are provided:
[0006] An inorganic anti-carbonization coating comprises, by weight, the following raw materials: 80-120 parts steel slag, 0-4 parts silicon carbide, 2-6 parts water-reducing agent, and 30-50 parts water.
[0007] Preferably, the steel slag comprises: 30-40% CaO, 20-30% SiO2, 10-20% Al2O3, 10-20% Fe2O3, 5-10% MgO, 1-3% MnO, 0.1-0.5% Na2O, and 1-3% SO3; the particle size of the steel slag is 5-20 μm.
[0008] Preferably, the silicon carbide has a particle size of 0.5 to 1 μm.
[0009] Preferably, the water-reducing agent is a polycarboxylate superplasticizer; the water reduction rate of the water-reducing agent is 40-50%.
[0010] This invention also provides a method for preparing the inorganic anti-carbonization coating described in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps:
[0011] The raw materials for preparing the inorganic anti-carbonation coating are mixed to obtain the inorganic anti-carbonation coating.
[0012] Preferably, the mixing method is stirring; the stirring rate is 60-100 rpm, and the time is 3-5 min.
[0013] The present invention also provides the application of the inorganic anti-carbonation coating described in the above technical solution or the inorganic anti-carbonation coating prepared by the preparation method described in the above technical solution in the protection of concrete surfaces.
[0014] The present invention also provides an inorganic anti-carbonation coating, which is prepared by applying an inorganic anti-carbonation coating to the surface of a concrete substrate and then carbonizing it; the inorganic anti-carbonation coating is the inorganic anti-carbonation coating described in the above technical solution or the inorganic anti-carbonation coating prepared by the preparation method described in the above technical solution.
[0015] Preferably, the carbonization temperature is 10–25°C, the time is 1–2 days, the pressure is 0.1–0.2 bar, the relative humidity is 90–100%, and the CO2 concentration is 10–20%.
[0016] Preferably, the thickness of the inorganic carbonized coating is 0.5 to 1 mm.
[0017] This invention provides an inorganic anti-carbonation coating, comprising the following raw materials by weight: 80-120 parts steel slag, 0-4 parts silicon carbide, 2-6 parts water-reducing agent, and 30-50 parts water. In this invention, steel slag exhibits high carbonation reactivity, and its carbonation products are calcium carbonate crystals and highly polymerized SiO2 gel. The CO2 diffusion rate is rapid at the beginning of the carbonation reaction, generating a large amount of calcium carbonate on the surface of the steel slag particles. After carbonation, the SiO2 gel encapsulates the unreacted calcium silicate in the steel slag, while the calcium carbonate crystals fill the pores between the steel slag particles, forming a dense structure. When the inorganic anti-carbonation coating is applied to the surface of a concrete substrate, it exhibits excellent adhesion to the substrate and prevents carbonation of the concrete substrate. Furthermore, steel slag is a byproduct of the steelmaking process; as an inorganic anti-carbonation coating, it can consume a large amount of steel slag, which is beneficial to environmental protection. Additionally, steel slag can absorb CO2 from the air, achieving a "carbon reduction" effect. Furthermore, in this invention, silicon carbide is used as a binder, which increases the bonding strength between the inorganic anti-carbonation coating and concrete. Attached Figure Description
