Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, specifically to a method for preparing an impermeable cushion layer from solidified aeolian sand. Background Technology

[0002] In desert and Gobi regions, sand particles frequently fill the air, and these flying sands, carried by strong winds, settle on farmland, ditches, and buildings. This sand not only damages the environment but also severely impacts people's lives. After settling, this sand forms aeolian sand. With the continuous expansion of engineering construction in desert areas, building materials have become increasingly scarce. Gravel, clay, and other materials need to be transported from other regions over long distances, significantly increasing the cost of engineering projects in desert areas. However, aeolian sand is a material abundant in these areas. Its fine particles, extremely low clay content, and excellent water stability make it easy to compact when saturated with water. Based on these characteristics, and through appropriate solidification and compaction methods, aeolian sand can be used as a primary building material in engineering construction.

[0003] The solidification of aeolian sand for construction has both theoretical basis and practical significance. Currently, various solidification methods based on organic-inorganic active materials such as slag, cement, water glass, lime, and polymer modifiers have been developed, and aeolian sand is widely used in engineering fields such as concrete, building mortar, and roadbed fillers. This method can rapidly and massively utilize aeolian sand, turning waste into treasure, and also reduce the extraction of natural sand, gravel, and clay resources, promoting the green and sustainable development of infrastructure construction. However, the application environment of aeolian sand in actual engineering projects is complex and variable, and its large-scale application still faces the following key technical challenges that need to be addressed:

[0004] First, most existing engineering practices and research have used aeolian sand as a road construction material. However, due to the high permeability and loose, non-cohesive characteristics of aeolian sand, there is insufficient research on its application in hydraulic structures. There is a lack of systematic research on its permeability, seepage failure modes, and seepage stability under hydraulic action, and the available results are limited.

[0005] Furthermore, the solidification technology for aeolian sand is cumbersome and complex, making it difficult to balance performance and solidification cost. Some solidifying agents pose certain hazards to the surrounding environment, requiring assurance that environmental risks are controllable during long-term use, thus making it difficult to develop an economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly solidification solution. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for preparing an impermeable cushion layer from solidified aeolian sand.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention is: a method for preparing an impermeable cushion layer from solidified aeolian sand, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. Ingredients:

[0009] Weigh out 55-65 parts of aeolian sand, 30-40 parts of construction waste, and 5-10 parts of silicate cement as raw materials, and the total amount of aeolian sand, construction waste, and silicate cement is 100 parts.

[0010] S2, Mixing:

[0011] The raw materials are added to a mortar mixer and mixed evenly. Then, thickener, expanding agent, added water, water-reducing agent, and anti-permeability agent are added in sequence, and then mixed evenly again to obtain a mixture. The amount of thickener added is 0.1~0.6% of the total mass of the raw materials; the amount of expanding agent added is 0.5~4% of the total mass of the raw materials; the amount of water-reducing agent added is 0.2~0.8% of the total mass of the raw materials; the amount of anti-permeability agent added is 2~8% of the total mass of the raw materials; the amount of added water M is calculated by the following formula:

[0012]

[0013] in, M m represents the amount of water added, m represents the total mass of raw materials, and m1 represents the mass of aeolian sand. i 1 represents the moisture content of aeolian sand, and m2 represents the mass of construction waste. i 2 represents the moisture content of construction waste;

[0014] S3, Molding:

[0015] The mixture is pressed into shape under a pressure of 1-20 MPa to obtain aeolian sand solidified material. After curing the aeolian sand solidified material under natural conditions for 26-30 days, an impermeable cushion layer is obtained.

[0016] Description: This invention combines aeolian sand and construction waste, using cement as a binder and supplemented with some additives to prepare an impermeable cushion layer. Aeolian sand itself has very low clay content and is a non-frost-susceptible soil, effectively preventing frost heave. Construction waste contains more moisture, sticky particles, and active minerals, which can promote the bonding of the components and improve the impermeability of the cushion layer. Furthermore, both aeolian sand and construction waste are readily available materials in desert areas, which can effectively reduce transportation costs compared to traditional cement-clay materials.

[0017] Furthermore, the aeolian sand composition includes SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, Fe2O3 and MgO, wherein the content of SiO2 and Al2O3 accounts for 75-80% of the total mass of the aeolian sand.

[0018] Note: The aeolian sand with the above composition has good water stability. After wet pressing, its strength increases when the component dries and loses water, and its strength decreases very little when it is saturated with water, which can effectively ensure the structural strength of the building project.

[0019] Furthermore, the particle size of the construction waste is ≤5mm.

[0020] Note: Limiting the particle size of construction waste can reduce internal defects in the seepage-proof layer and ensure its structural strength.

[0021] Furthermore, the thickener comprises, by mass percentage: 10-20% starch ether and 80-90% cellulose ether.

[0022] Note: The thickeners in the above-mentioned components have good lubricity and rapid thickening ability, which can increase the viscosity of the mixture and improve its water retention.

[0023] Furthermore, the expanding agent is any one or more of magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, and anhydrous gypsum in any proportion.

[0024] Note: The expansion agent in the above-mentioned components can expand on its own or react with other components in the mixture to expand, which can compensate for the shrinkage of the impermeable layer and prevent it from cracking.

[0025] Furthermore, the water-reducing agent is any one or a mixture of polycarboxylate water-reducing agents, lignin sulfonate water-reducing agents, and melamine resin water-reducing agents in any proportion.

[0026] Note: The water-reducing agent with the above components can be directionally adsorbed onto the surface of cement particles, reducing the surface tension of water and the interfacial tension between water and cement particles, so that the cement particles can be better wetted.

[0027] Furthermore, the components of the antipermeability agent, by mass percentage, include: 85-90% water glass and 10-15% phosphate.

[0028] Note: The above-mentioned anti-seepage agent can react with the metal cations in the mixture to generate expansive crystals, which can block the capillary channels inside the anti-seepage layer, increasing its density and anti-seepage properties.

[0029] Further, in step S1, after weighing the aeolian sand, the aeolian sand is sieved to obtain coarse sand with a particle size > 0.15 mm and fine sand with a particle size ≤ 0.15 mm. The fine sand is then modified and mixed with the coarse sand.

[0030] The method for modifying the fine sand is as follows:

[0031] S1-1. Add phenolic resin to anhydrous ethanol and heat to 40-50℃ while stirring to obtain the first mixture; add fine sand to the modifier and ultrasonically disperse for 10-15 minutes to obtain the second mixture; the mass ratio of fine sand, phenolic resin, modifier and anhydrous ethanol is 12:3:32:10.

[0032] S1-2. Add a surfactant to the second mixture once, then heat the second mixture while continuously adding the first mixture during heating. Add the surfactant to the second mixture every 5-10°C increase in temperature until all of the first mixture has been added. Stop heating and stir for 15-30 minutes to obtain the third mixture. The initial amount of surfactant added is 3-5% of the mass of the fine sand. Subsequent additions of surfactant are 10-15% less than the previous addition. The heating rate of the second mixture is 2-4°C / min, and the amount of the first mixture added per minute is 4-6% of the total weight of the second mixture.

[0033] S1-3. After filtering the third mixture, a solid is obtained. The solid is then dried and dispersed by vibration to obtain modified fine sand.

[0034] Explanation: The above method screens aeolian sand and modifies only the fine sand, reducing production costs. At the same time, the surface of the fine sand is coated with a resin layer after modification, which improves the bonding between the fine sand and cement, reduces the porosity inside the seepage barrier, and improves the seepage resistance of the seepage barrier.

[0035] Furthermore, the modifier comprises, by mass percentage: 10-20% polyacrylic acid emulsion, 15-30% polyacrylamide, 6-10% sodium borohydride, and the remainder being deionized water.

[0036] Note: The modifiers in the above-mentioned components can improve the wettability of aeolian sand particles and enhance the bonding between aeolian sand particles during mixing, so that the coarse and fine sand in the seepage prevention layer can be better bonded together, thereby improving the strength of the seepage prevention layer.

[0037] Furthermore, the surfactant is any one or a mixture of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and potassium dodecyl sulfate in any proportion.

[0038] Note: The above-mentioned surfactant can improve the surface activity of aeolian sand particles, making the aeolian sand particles easier to wet, and enabling the components in the modifier to be evenly dispersed in the third mixture.

[0039] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0040] (1) This invention uses aeolian sand and construction waste in combination, with cement as the binding material and some additives to prepare an impermeable cushion layer. Aeolian sand itself has very little clay content and is a non-frost-susceptible soil, which can effectively prevent frost heave. Construction waste contains more water, sticky particles and active minerals, which can promote the bonding of the components and improve the impermeability of the impermeable cushion layer. Moreover, aeolian sand and construction waste are both existing materials in desert areas, which can effectively reduce transportation costs compared with traditional cement clay materials.

[0041] (2) The present invention reduces production costs by screening the aeolian sand and modifying only the fine sand. At the same time, the surface of the fine sand is coated with a resin layer after modification, which improves the bonding between the fine sand and cement, reduces the porosity inside the anti-seepage layer, and improves the anti-seepage performance of the anti-seepage layer. Detailed Implementation

[0042] To further illustrate the methods and effects of this invention, the technical solution of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with experiments.
