Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of building material admixtures, and particularly relates to an early-strength and long-lasting collapse-preserving composite functional admixture, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The cement and building materials industry is gradually transitioning towards a low-carbon industry. Among them, using low-carbon cementitious materials to replace traditional Portland cement is one of the main ways to achieve "carbon emission reduction". Supersulfated cement (SSC) is generally composed of 70-90wt% slag, 10-20wt% sulfate activator (phosphogypsum, anhydrite, etc.) and 0-5wt% alkaline activator (cement clinker, calcium hydroxide, etc.). Its hydration products are mainly ettringite (AFt) and C(A)-SH gel. Considering its extremely high utilization rate of industrial by-products, supersulfated cement is a recognized low-carbon cement, and has the advantages of low hydration heat, excellent resistance to sulfate erosion and volume stability.

[0003] However, due to the low CaO content, high SiO2 content, and high degree of polymerization in slag, depolymerization is difficult. Consequently, supersulfated cement commonly suffers from low slag hydration, poor early mechanical strength, and slow strength development. In recent years, numerous studies have demonstrated that the addition of ultrafine nanoparticles can effectively promote the pozzolanic reaction of materials such as slag, accelerating their hydration process. However, the addition of ultrafine powders inevitably affects the performance of SSC. Furthermore, as one of the main hydration products of SSC, the rapid formation of AFt in the early stages of hydration can also lead to rapid coagulation, affecting its performance and causing construction difficulties. Furthermore, commercially available nanomaterials inevitably suffer from poor dispersion stability. Therefore, developing admixtures that can address the low early strength of supersulfated cement while also improving its workability, achieving ultra-long slump retention, and exhibiting excellent dispersion stability is of great practical value. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies in the existing technology and provide a composite functional admixture for early strength and long-term collapse protection, as well as a preparation method and application thereof. When the composite functional admixture is applied to supersulfate cement, it not only has excellent early strength performance, but can also achieve water reduction and long-term collapse protection, providing effective technical support for the large-scale application of supersulfate cement.

[0005] In order to solve the technical problem raised by the present invention, the present invention provides a preparation method of a composite functional admixture with early strength and long-term collapse protection, comprising the following steps:

[0006] 1) adding tricalcium aluminate, an activator, and a grinding medium to water, adjusting the pH of the solution and then grinding, and removing the grinding medium after grinding to obtain a suspension A;

[0007] 2) adding suspension A and a water reducing agent into a reactor, and reacting under heating and pressure under inert gas protection to obtain suspension B;

[0008] 3) The suspension B is first stirred and mixed with the surfactant and limestone powder, and then ultrasonically dispersed to obtain an early strength and long-term collapse-preserving composite functional admixture.

[0009] In the above solution, the purity of the tricalcium aluminate is ≥95%, and the residue on a 75 μm sieve is ≤10%.

[0010] In the above scheme, the activator is one of sodium lactate, sodium propionate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and polyaspartic acid.

[0012] In the above scheme, in step 1), the mass ratio of tricalcium aluminate, activator and water is 1: (0.05-0.25): (5-25).

[0013] In the above scheme, in step 1), the ball-to-material ratio during grinding is (2.4-5):1.

[0014] In the above scheme, in step 1), the pH of the solution is adjusted to 10.5-13, more preferably 11.5-12.5.

[0015] In the above scheme, in step 1), the pH regulator used to adjust the pH of the solution is sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 0.2 to 10 mol / L.

[0016] In the above scheme, in step 1), the grinding rate is 200-800 rpm, and the grinding time is 0.5-6 h.

[0018]

[0019] In the formula, a:b:c:d=1:(1.5~4.5):(0.5~1.5):(1~3.5), 8≤n≤35, and n is an integer.

[0020] In the above scheme, the preparation method of the water reducer is:

[0021] a) dissolving acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, sodium sulfonate and a chain transfer agent in water to obtain liquid A;

[0022] b) Ethylene glycol monovinyl polyoxyethylene ether (EPEG) is mixed with water, and an initiator is first added under stirring, and then the reaction temperature is adjusted to obtain a water reducing agent. Liquid A is added dropwise thereto, and the reaction is continued with stirring after the addition is complete. After the reaction is completed, water is added to adjust the solid content to obtain a water reducing agent.

[0023] Furthermore, the molar ratio of acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, sodium sulfonate, and ethylene glycol monovinyl polyoxyethylene ether is 2:(2-6):(1-2):(3-9).

[0024] Furthermore, the molecular weight of the ethylene glycol monovinyl polyoxyethylene ether is 500 to 3000.

[0025] Furthermore, the chain transfer agent is one of isopropyl alcohol, sodium methacrylate sulfonate, thioglycolic acid, and mercaptopropionic acid.

[0026] Furthermore, the mass of the chain transfer agent is 0.2 to 1.2% of the mass of ethylene glycol monovinyl polyoxyethylene ether.

[0027] Furthermore, the initiator is a redox initiator.

[0028] Furthermore, the mass of the initiator is 0.5 to 1% of the mass of ethylene glycol monovinyl polyoxyethylene ether.

[0029] Furthermore, in step b), the stirring rate is 150-500 rpm, the reaction temperature is 20-45° C., the dropwise addition of solution A is completed over 0.5-1.5 h, and the stirring reaction is continued for 2-8 h after the dropwise addition is completed.

[0030] Furthermore, the amount of water in step a) is only required to uniformly dissolve acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, sodium sulfonate and chain transfer agent. The mass ratio of ethylene glycol monovinyl polyoxyethylene ether to water in step b) is (1-4):1. After the reaction is completed, water is added to adjust the solid content of the water reducer to 35-43%.

[0041] In the above solution, the water reduction rate of the composite functional admixture is 25-36%, and no obvious sedimentation will occur within 30 days of storage.

[0042] The present invention also provides an application of an early strength and long-term collapse-preserving composite functional admixture in supersulfate cement. The application method is: after uniformly mixing the powder of the supersulfate cement, the composite functional admixture is mixed with mixing water and then added thereto and mixed uniformly.

[0043] In the above solution, the dosage of the composite admixture is 2-4% of the mass of the supersulfate cement.

[0044] The technical concept of the present invention is as follows:

[0045] The original intention of the present invention is to hydrate tricalcium aluminate in an alkaline polycarboxylate water-reducing agent solution to generate calcium-aluminum double hydroxide intercalated with the polycarboxylate water-reducing agent. On the one hand, the admixture is nanosized to improve the early strength performance, and on the other hand, the release of polycarboxylate water-reducing agent molecules is regulated to improve the working performance. However, most commercially available polycarboxylate water-reducing agents have a large molecular weight and a long side chain structure, resulting in a low intercalation loading rate, making it difficult to achieve the desired effect. To this end, the present invention first uses a negatively charged small molecule salt such as sodium lactate to react with OH - The ion exchange between the two expands the OH-AFm generated by the hydration of tricalcium aluminate, increasing its interlayer spacing and facilitating the entry of subsequent water reducers. Secondly, the structure of the water reducer is redesigned, and the functional groups of the polycarboxylate water reducer are replaced by sulfonate and maleic anhydride to synthesize MAHPC; among them, the sulfonate increases the overall charge of the polycarboxylate water reducer, improving the interaction between the water reducer and OH -The ion exchange capacity of the maleic anhydride group is high; due to its slow hydrolysis rate, it has a sustained release effect, achieving ultra-long collapse retention; MAHPC will undergo another ion exchange with low-electronegative small-molecule salts, with MAHPC entering the interlayers and small-molecule salts such as sodium lactate entering the solution. Furthermore, high temperature and high pressure are used to increase the ion exchange rate, significantly enhancing the probability of MAHPC entering the interlayers, resulting in a high-loading nano-MAHPC-AFm. Combined with the subsequent addition of surfactants and ultrafine limestone powder, this nano-MAHPC-AFm material can achieve no significant sedimentation within 30 days, giving the admixture excellent dispersion stability.

[0046] The working principle of the admixture of the present invention when applied to supersulfated cement is:

[0047] When the admixture is added to the supersulfated cement, the MAHPC molecules between the MAHPC-AFm layers exchange ions with the sulfate in the system, releasing MAHPC molecules; the calcium-aluminum main layer reacts with sulfate and water molecules to form AFt. The released MAHPC molecules adjust the working properties of the slurry and achieve water reduction in the initial mixing process. The presence of maleic anhydride groups makes COO - It has a slow release effect, thereby achieving ultra-long slump retention in the later stages. The generated AFt acts as a nucleation site for the hydration reaction, reducing the Gibbs free energy of AFt nucleation, promoting AFt formation, accelerating slag hydration, and generating more hydration products, significantly improving the early mechanical properties of supersulfated cement. Furthermore, the filling effect of small molecule salts such as sodium lactate and ultrafine limestone powder further enhances the mechanical properties of the supersulfated cement system. The combined action of these multiple components achieves the combined benefits of high early strength, efficient water reduction, and high slump retention.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0049] The present invention utilizes the ion exchangeability between layers of tricalcium aluminate hydration products, such as AFm phases. Small molecule salts are first used to expand the interlayer spacing, followed by the introduction of MAHPC with a specific structure for intercalation. High temperature and high pressure are then used to improve the intercalation efficiency, resulting in a high-loading nano-MAHPC-AFm. This admixture is then combined with a surfactant and ultrafine limestone powder to form a composite admixture with early strength and long-term collapse protection. This admixture has stable performance, exhibits no significant settling within 30 days, and exhibits excellent storage and transportation stability. When applied to supersulfated cement, this admixture achieves water reduction by releasing MAHPC molecules, achieves ultra-long collapse protection through the maleic anhydride groups in the MAHPC molecules, and achieves early strength through the generation of AFt combined with the filling effect of small molecule salts such as sodium lactate and ultrafine limestone powder, demonstrating excellent composite properties.

[0077] 1) adding tricalcium aluminate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and zirconium oxide balls to water in a mass ratio of 1:0.25:25 to water; and a balls-to-material ratio of 5:1; adjusting the pH of the solution to 12.5 with a 10 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution; and milling at 800 rpm for 6 h.

[0085]

[0086] In the formula, a:b:c:d=1:1.5:1.5:3, n=17.

[0087] Comparative Example 1

[0088] The only difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that the maleic anhydride polycarboxylic acid water reducer in step 2) is replaced with a common polycarboxylic acid water reducer with a molecular weight of 40,000 to 60,000 and a structural formula of:

[0089] Wherein, n=45.

[0090] Comparative Example 2

[0091] The only difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that no activator is added in step 1), and the reaction in step 2) is carried out at normal temperature and pressure.

[0092] Comparative Example 3

[0093] Tricalcium aluminate, sodium lactate, maleic anhydride polycarboxylic acid water reducer, methyl cellulose ether, limestone powder and water were directly mixed according to the proportions in Example 1 to form a composite functional admixture.

[0094] Performance Test 1

[0095] The properties of the composite functional admixtures prepared in each embodiment and each comparative example were measured.

[0096] The method for determining the water reducer intercalation rate is as follows: take 80mL of suspension B and centrifuge it at 20,000rpm for 10 minutes. Take the supernatant and measure the water reducer content. The intercalation rate is calculated according to the following formula:

[0097]

[0098] The test of water reduction rate is carried out in accordance with GB8077-2012 "Test method for homogeneity of concrete admixtures". The specific method is: cement paste with the same fluidity (180±5mm) is prepared at different water-binder ratios for the test samples with and without composite functional admixtures. The percentage of the difference in water consumption between the two and the water consumption without composite functional admixtures is the water reduction rate of the composite functional admixture.

[0099] The sedimentation rate is determined by taking 80 mL of the admixture and placing it in a sealed container. At 0, 10, 20, and 30 days, approximately 50 mL of liquid is removed from the upper layer of the sample to test for total organic carbon content. The sedimentation rate is calculated using the following formula:

[0100]

[0101] Table 1

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] As can be seen from Table 1, the water-reducing agent intercalation rate of each embodiment is significantly higher than that of the comparative example, so that the water-reducing rate of the composite functional admixture obtained is significantly higher than that of the comparative example, and the sedimentation rate is significantly lower than that of the comparative example, showing excellent water-reducing performance and stability. Comparative Example 1 adopts ordinary polycarboxylate water-reducing agent, which has a larger molecular weight and a longer side chain structure, resulting in a low intercalation load rate, so that the water-reducing rate of the composite functional admixture obtained is reduced, and the sedimentation rate increases. Although Comparative Example 2 adopts maleic anhydride polycarboxylate water-reducing agent, there is no small molecule salt for layer expansion, and there is no heating and pressurizing condition to improve the exchange rate, so the effect is not as expected. Comparative Example 3 directly uses several raw materials mixed as a composite admixture. When used, the water-reducing agent can be partially adsorbed on the ultrafine limestone powder, resulting in its low water-reducing rate, and it is easy to settle when stored after direct mixing, and the stability is poor.

[0105] Application Examples

[0106] Supersulfated cement was prepared using a raw material ratio of slag: phosphogypsum: steel slag of 16:3:1 (mass ratio), and a water-binder ratio of 0.35. The composite functional admixtures prepared in each of the Examples and Comparative Examples were applied to the supersulfated cement. The application method was as follows: slag, phosphogypsum, and steel slag were uniformly mixed, and then the composite functional admixture was mixed with mixing water and added to the mixture, mixing uniformly. The composite functional admixture was added in an amount of 2% by mass of the supersulfated cement.

[0107] Performance Test 2

[0108] The properties of supersulfated cement after application of the composite functional admixtures prepared in each Example and Comparative Example were tested. The time-dependent fluidity of the cement paste was tested according to GB 8077-2012, "Test Method for Homogeneity of Concrete Admixtures." Mechanical properties were tested according to GB / T 17671-2021, "Test Method for Strength of Cement Mortar (ISO Method)." The specimen dimensions were 40 × 40 × 40 mm.

[0109] Table 2

[0110]

[0111]

[0112] As can be seen from Table 2, the blank group without the addition of the composite functional admixture has the lowest fluidity and compressive strength. After adding the composite functional admixture in the embodiment, the MAHPC molecules between the MAHPC-AFm layers exchange ions with the sulfate in the system, releasing MAHPC molecules, which significantly improves the initial fluidity of the cement slurry compared with the blank group, and the fluidity remains at this level at 2h and 4h. This is because the maleic anhydride groups in the MAHPC molecules make the COO - Slow release, thereby achieving ultra-long collapse retention; in addition, after the MAHPC molecules between the MAHPC-AFm layers are released, the calcium-aluminum main layer reacts with sulfate and water molecules to generate Aft. The generated AFt can serve as a nucleation site for the hydration reaction, reducing the Gibbs free energy of AFt nucleation to promote the generation of AFt, accelerate the hydration of slag, generate more hydration products, and significantly increase the early mechanical properties of supersulfate cement. At the same time, the filling effect of small molecule salts such as sodium lactate and ultrafine limestone powder can further improve the mechanical properties of the supersulfate cement system. Therefore, the 3d, 7d, and 28d compressive strengths of each embodiment are significantly higher than those of the blank group. The composite functional admixture of Comparative Example 1 uses ordinary polycarboxylate water-reducing agent intercalation, which has a low intercalation loading rate and is easy to settle. Therefore, the improvement of fluidity and strength after adding supersulfate cement is not obvious. Although the composite functional admixture of Comparative Example 2 utilizes a maleic anhydride polycarboxylate water-reducing agent, it lacks a small molecule salt for layer expansion and lacks heating and pressurization to enhance the exchange rate. Consequently, its intercalation rate is reduced. While the effect is improved compared to the experimental group and Comparative Example 1, it still falls far short of the Example. Comparative Example 3 directly mixes several raw materials to form a composite admixture. During use, the water-reducing agent partially adsorbs onto the ultrafine limestone powder, resulting in poor fluidity improvement. More importantly, due to the lack of an intercalation structure, the C3A particle size is larger when directly added, resulting in low activity when reacting with sulfate to form AFt, low early AFt production, and low early strength.

[0113] The above embodiments are merely examples for clarification and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications may be made based on the above descriptions. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here, and any obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
