Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water reducing agents, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a polycarboxylic acid-based high-efficiency water reducing agent. Background Art

[0002] For modern concrete, water reducers play a very important role in improving the working performance of concrete. As one of the important admixtures of modern concrete, polycarboxylic acid water reducers have the advantages of low dosage, high water reduction rate, and green environmental protection. However, with the continuous reduction of high-quality sand and gravel resources, the increase in mud content in inferior sand and gravel and machine-made sand will greatly affect the performance of polycarboxylic acid water reducers, resulting in poor fluidity of concrete, low strength and other temperatures. Therefore, the development of polycarboxylic acid water reducers with anti-mud ability has become a hot topic in the industry.

[0003] Organosilane contains both organic active functional groups and inorganic single molecular structure, and is a low molecular polymer with a special structure, which can be used as a coupling agent for inorganic and organic materials. For example, the main chain of the invention is composed of organosilane structural units and polyether units, and the prepared polycarboxylate water reducer has good dispersibility and cement adaptability, but does not improve the anti-mud performance of the polycarboxylate water reducer.

After the reaction is completed, adding 30% sodium hydroxide thereto to adjust the pH to 6-7, thereby obtaining a polycarboxylic acid-based high-efficiency water reducer.

[0012] Preferably, in step (1), the molar ratio of 1,6-hexanediamine to γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane is 1:2-2.5.

[0017] Preferably, the polycarboxylic acid-based high-efficiency water reducing agent prepared by the preparation method is used in cement.

[0018] 3. Beneficial technical effects

[0019] The present invention uses 1,6-hexanediamine and γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane as raw materials, obtains intermediate 1 through a ring-opening reaction, uses intermediate 1 and 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone to undergo a ring-opening alkylation to obtain intermediate 2, and then reacts the intermediate with allyl chloride to obtain intermediate 3 through a quaternization reaction.

[0020] The present invention grafts silane groups, sulfonate structures and quaternary ammonium salt structures into the molecular structure of polycarboxylate water-reducing agent, wherein the alkoxy groups in the silane groups generate silanol groups by hydrolysis, and form Si-O-Si chemical bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the cement-based surface, and connect the water-reducing agent to the cement-based surface in the form of chemical bonds, thereby improving the adsorption capacity of the water-reducing agent on the cement surface, improving fluidity, and extending the cement hydration time. The sulfonate structure is a structure with a strong polarity, which can reduce the charge density of the water-reducing agent, improve the adsorption capacity of the water-reducing agent, and the sulfonate structure also has a strong adsorption capacity for clays such as bentonite, thereby improving the anti-mud performance of the polycarboxylate water-reducing agent. In addition, the quaternary ammonium salt structure contained therein carries a positive charge, and can produce adsorption with clays such as bentonite with a negative charge, further improving the anti-mud performance of the polycarboxylate water-reducing agent, and improving the fluidity of the polycarboxylate water-reducing agent. The polycarboxylate water-reducing agent prepared by the present invention has good anti-mud performance and fluidity. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
