Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of concrete materials technology, specifically relating to an eco-friendly high-strength concrete and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of society and the economy, the demand for various infrastructure constructions is constantly increasing worldwide, and concrete structures are one of the most widely used structural forms. At the same time, modern concrete structures are increasingly characterized by "complex structural forms and harsh service environments," thus the mechanical properties of concrete itself are showing a trend towards higher strength. Ordinary Portland cement, as one of the most widely used components in concrete, is seeing its production continuously increase, with an estimated annual demand of 3.68-4.38 Gt by 2050. However, due to its unique manufacturing process, the production of ordinary Portland cement inevitably brings many environmental problems. For example, the production of ordinary Portland cement consumes a large amount of energy and emits a large amount of carbon dioxide. Its energy consumption accounts for approximately 5% of natural resources, and its carbon dioxide emissions account for approximately 5-7% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. The large-scale emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide is one of the main causes of global climate change. Therefore, to achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, it is necessary to further enrich the raw material composition in the building materials sector.

[0003] To address the negative impacts of ordinary Portland cement on natural resources and the environment, an increasing number of researchers are dedicated to developing environmentally friendly cementitious materials to replace ordinary Portland cement-based cementitious materials, thereby preparing eco-friendly concrete. Invention patent CN110407507A discloses a method for preparing all-solid-waste dry-mixed mortar, using gypsum, slag, waste stone chips, and construction waste to replace cement, effectively utilizing solid waste. However, its optimal embodiment has a 28-day compressive strength of only 15.6 MPa. Invention patent CN116606094A discloses a method for preparing geopolymer mortar reinforcement material, using fly ash, slag powder, and other solid waste to replace cement, effectively alleviating the pressure on the building materials industry in terms of energy reduction and emission reduction. However, its optimal embodiment has a 28-day compressive strength of only 45.26 MPa. Furthermore, the high cost of the added polyvinyl alcohol fiber greatly limits its widespread application in engineering practice.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high-strength concrete material with low-carbon and environmentally friendly characteristics to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0234] Effect verification

[0235] Referring to the "Test Method for Strength of Cement Mortar" (GB / T 17671-2021), the concrete mixtures prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-13 were placed into molds, cured, demolded, and then moved to a standard curing room (temperature 20±3℃, relative humidity 95%) for curing. Mechanical properties were tested at the target ages (3 days, 7 days, and 28 days). The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0236] Table 1. Test results of mechanical properties of concrete specimens in each group.

[0237]

[0238] Comparing the performance test results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-13 in Table 1, it can be seen that the test data of Example 1 is significantly better than that of Comparative Examples 1-13. This indicates that the technical solution adopted in this invention can effectively improve the mechanical strength of solid waste-based concrete.

[0239] This invention physically activates agricultural by-products and kitchen waste by-products at a suitable temperature, which can effectively improve the composition of agricultural by-products and kitchen waste by-products, increase the content of amorphous SiO2 and CaO, and thus achieve efficient utilization.

[0240] This invention activates rice husk ash with a chitosan quaternary ammonium salt solution, which improves its surface morphology. Further soaking in sodium phosphate solution further promotes the densification of its surface morphology, thereby improving the reaction level between it and the alkaline activator, promoting the polymerization reaction of agricultural by-products in an alkaline environment, and thus improving the mechanical strength of concrete materials at the microscopic level.

[0241] Meanwhile, by activating eggshell ash with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid solution, the present invention can improve its surface morphology. Further soaking in ethanol solution can further improve its surface activity, thereby effectively improving the reaction level between it and alkaline activator, promoting the polymerization reaction of kitchen waste by-products in an alkaline environment, and thus improving the mechanical strength of concrete materials at the microscopic level.
