Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide content detection, and in particular to a method for quickly detecting the calcium oxide and magnesium oxide content in cement for roads, bridges and tunnels. Background Art

[0002] Cement for roads, bridges, and tunnels is a material commonly used in road, bridge, and tunnel construction. It hardens in air or water, firmly bonding materials like sand and stone together to form a strong concrete structure, such as bridge load-bearing structures, road pavements, and tunnel linings. The production of cement for roads, bridges, and tunnels must comply with relevant national standards. Cement stability and strength are particularly important. Cement stability reflects the uniformity of volume changes during the setting and hardening process, while cement strength reflects the ability of the hardened cement mortar specimen to withstand external forces. The calcium oxide and magnesium oxide content in cement determine these two characteristics. An appropriate calcium oxide content is crucial for achieving high strength in cement. However, excessive calcium oxide content can affect cement stability, while insufficient calcium oxide content can reduce strength. An appropriate amount of magnesium oxide can improve cement's volume stability, fire resistance, durability, and sulfate resistance. However, excessive magnesium oxide content in cement can reduce the quality of the building and even cause accidents. Therefore, the detection of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide content in cement is of great significance.

[0003] The current method for detecting the content of magnesium oxide and calcium oxide in cement is to detect by the method provided in the national standard GB / T176-2008 for cement chemical analysis, wherein the detection of calcium oxide content requires the method of high-temperature alkali fusion to treat the sample, which requires high-temperature calcination. There is a certain risk during the test process. In addition, the alkaline reagent added during the high-temperature calcination process will affect the result. In the detection of magnesium oxide content, the cement sample is treated with a hydrofluoric acid-perchloric acid system and then tested. The hydrofluoric acid introduced during the treatment process may cause certain damage to the instrument. The detection method of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide content in a kind of silicate cement provided by Publication No. CN108279274A is to detect calcium oxide and magnesium oxide content by ion chromatograph. However, the retention time of magnesium ion and calcium ion in ion chromatogram is relatively close. If the chromatographic conditions are not ideal, it may be difficult to achieve effective separation of the two. This will cause peak overlap or tailing, thereby affecting the accuracy of quantitative analysis. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a method for rapid detection of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide content in cement for roads, bridges and tunnels.
