Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete processing, and in particular relates to a production process and application of concrete. Background Art

[0002] As an important protective material, concrete has been widely used in construction, road, and bridge engineering due to its abundant raw materials, low cost, excellent durability, and good mechanical properties. However, the mechanical and durability properties of concrete have long been a topic of considerable interest to researchers. The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals initiative has boosted the use of recycled concrete. Recycled concrete generally offers two major advantages: First, it increases the utilization rate of construction waste, promotes waste reuse, significantly reduces the mining of natural aggregate, and reduces the environmental pollution and damage caused by construction waste. Second, the relatively low production cost of recycled concrete facilitates cost reduction and efficiency gains for concrete manufacturers. However, research by numerous researchers both domestically and internationally has shown that the apparent density and bulk density of recycled coarse aggregate are lower than those of natural aggregate. This is because, compared to natural coarse aggregate, recycled coarse aggregate is often coated or partially coated with hardened cement mortar. Cement mortar has high porosity and low density, resulting in lower apparent and bulk densities of recycled coarse aggregate than those of natural aggregate. Compared to natural aggregate, recycled aggregate has a higher water absorption rate, a higher crushing value, and a large amount of surface mortar residue, which to some extent affects the performance of recycled concrete. Furthermore, the multi-interface structure, high porosity, and high water absorption of recycled concrete reduce its mechanical properties and durability, severely restricting its application in new structures.

[0003] Currently, a series of experimental studies have been conducted on the mechanical properties of recycled concrete. For example, a related technical report analyzed the influence of the interface transition zone morphology on the mechanical properties of recycled concrete and found that when the recycled aggregate replacement rate was 100%, the cubic compressive strength was about 30% lower than that of natural aggregate concrete, and the splitting tensile strength was about 25% to 35% lower.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the mechanical properties and durability of recycled concrete has become a hot topic and focus of research on recycled concrete today. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The following is a summary of the subject matter described in detail herein. This summary is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0006] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a concrete production process and application. This production process can significantly improve the overall performance of concrete and is simple in process.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A first aspect of the present invention provides a concrete production process comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1. Mixing rice straw fibers with a deep eutectic solvent and subjecting the mixture to ultrasonic treatment to obtain pretreated rice straw fibers, and then soaking the pretreated rice straw fibers in a dopamine hydrochloride solution to obtain modified rice straw fibers;

[0010] S2, dry-mixing the coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, Portland cement, the modified rice straw fiber, and an admixture to obtain a dry mix;

[0011] S3, adding polyurethane emulsion, water reducing agent and micro-nano bubble water to the dry mix, stirring, and obtaining;

[0012] The raw materials for preparing the concrete include the following components in parts by mass:

[0013] 1000-1600 parts of coarse aggregate, 400-1000 parts of fine aggregate, 400-600 parts of Portland cement, 20-50 parts of modified rice straw fiber, 20-80 parts of admixture, 100-400 parts of polyurethane emulsion, and 1-5 parts of water reducer.

[0014] First of all, plant fibers are not suitable for being directly added to cement-based materials. This is because the lignin present in the plant fibers will precipitate and hydrolyze in aqueous or alkaline solutions, and the hydrolyzate will hinder cement hydration, and the compatibility of untreated plant fibers with cement-based materials is poor. The present invention uses a low-melting-point solvent treatment to help reduce the lignin in the fiber, while retaining the cellulose component and fiber structure in the biomass, maintaining its excellent tensile and compressive properties. The fiber is further treated with dopamine, and the fiber surface is coated with a dopamine layer, which plays a role in protecting the fiber and increasing its compatibility with the matrix. The modified rice straw fiber has good dispersibility and compatibility in dry mixes. Polyurethane emulsion can fill the microcracks in the structure, and may also form a network structure together with the modified rice straw fiber, which is conducive to enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete.

[0015] Secondly, coarse aggregate typically accounts for a large proportion of concrete and is much larger than fine aggregate. Therefore, the addition of fine aggregate to fill the concrete helps enhance the mechanical strength of the concrete. The admixture fills the pores on the surface of the modified fiber, thereby reducing the fiber porosity and improving the overall performance of the concrete.

[0016] Micro-nano bubble water can promote cement hydration and the production of hydration products, improve the mechanical properties and durability of concrete, and reduce mortar shrinkage. The reason is that it has fewer water molecule clusters than ordinary water and is easier to disperse in cementitious materials. While promoting cement hydration, it increases the density of the slurry, thereby improving the strength of the specimen. In addition, the independent, closed micro-nano bubbles remaining in the concrete can block the capillary penetration path, which manifests itself as improved durability on a macro scale.

[0017] Finally, the present invention prepares concrete by a dry method, and the obtained concrete has better comprehensive properties, which is related to the fact that the dry method of preparing concrete promotes the dispersion of fibers.

[0133] As can be seen from the above table, the concrete prepared by the method of the present invention has excellent mechanical properties, high compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength, low water absorption and limited shrinkage. In addition, the use of construction waste as recycled aggregate for concrete expands the scope of reuse of construction waste, realizes the resource utilization of construction waste, and has economic, social and environmental benefits.

[0134] Comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 shows that dry-process concrete produces better overall performance, which is related to the dispersion of the modified fibers within the concrete. This may be due to the fact that, when dry-process concrete is prepared, cement particles can propel the agglomerated modified fibers apart, thereby promoting their dispersion. However, when wet-process concrete is prepared, cement particles and water easily form a viscous cement slurry. This viscous cement slurry adheres to the surface of the modified fibers, promoting their aggregation and hindering their effective dispersion.

[0135] A comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 shows that the lack of dopamine modification leads to a decrease in the overall performance of the concrete. This may be due to the following reasons: firstly, dopamine coating the fiber surface further enhances the dispersion of the modified fiber, and the protective effect of the dopamine layer also helps the modified fiber maintain high mechanical properties in various environments; secondly, the hydrogen bonding interactions between the hydroxyl and amino groups of the dopamine molecules and the modified fiber help improve the surface activity of the modified fiber and its adhesion to the substrate.

[0136] A comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 shows that the lack of prior treatment of rice straw fiber with a low-melting-point solvent results in a decrease in the overall performance of the concrete. This may be due to the fact that low-melting-point solvents can damage plant fiber cell walls, and lignin is more susceptible to hydrolysis in solution than cellulose, causing fiber degradation. Treatment with a low-melting-point solvent effectively reduces lignin while preserving the properties of cellulose.

[0137] Furthermore, whether or not the low-melting-point solvent is used, as well as the type of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors in the low-melting-point solvent, have a certain impact on the length of the final treated fiber. Because the modified fiber acts as a bridge internally, when cracks appear in the concrete due to external forces, the fiber bridges the concrete pores, bonding the two ends of the matrix and improving the concrete's flexural strength. Therefore, when the fiber length is short, the bridging effect is not significant; while when the fiber length is long, the fibers agglomerate within the concrete, reducing the concrete's flexural strength.

[0138] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that the addition of polyurethane emulsion can improve the comprehensive performance of concrete. The reason may be that the polyurethane emulsion can fill the microcracks generated during the crushing process of waste concrete, which helps to increase the crack resistance of concrete; in addition, the polyurethane emulsion can also reduce the water absorption of concrete materials.

[0139] A comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 5 shows that when the modified fiber content is too high, the greater the amount distributed per unit volume of concrete, the more severe the agglomeration. This causes the modified fiber to occupy a larger space within the concrete, affecting the bonding of aggregates and reducing the concrete's compressive strength. Furthermore, the agglomeration of the modified fiber can lead to cracking in the concrete.

[0140] From the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that micro-nano bubble water can improve the compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete to a certain extent. This may be due to the increase in crystallization nuclei and hydration products, the denser internal structure of the concrete, and thus the improved mechanical properties of the concrete.

Various modifications can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by a person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.
