Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building materials, and in particular to a method for preparing high-performance building materials from coal-based solid waste. Background Art

[0002] As by-products of the coal industry, coal gangue and fly ash are produced in huge quantities during the mining and utilization of coal. The stacking of these solid wastes not only occupies a large amount of land resources, but also causes serious environmental pollution to the soil, water sources and atmosphere due to the harmful substances they contain, such as heavy metals and sulfides. Long-term stacking may also lead to surface water and groundwater pollution, affecting the ecological balance and human health.

[0003] At present, the treatment methods of coal gangue and fly ash mainly include landfill and incineration, which are not only inefficient, but also have the risk of resource waste and secondary pollution. Landfill takes up land resources, and the leachate that may be produced during the landfill process will pollute the environment; incineration will produce harmful gases and pollute the atmospheric environment.

[0004] Therefore, a method for resource utilization of coal-based solid waste needs to be developed urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for converting coal gangue and fly ash into high-performance building materials that meet the standards of the construction industry through specific pretreatment, activation and curing steps. The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for preparing high-performance building materials from coal-based solid waste comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1. Collect coal gangue and fly ash, crush, screen and dry them respectively, and then mix them evenly according to the proportion;

[0008] S2. The mixed powder obtained in S1 is mixed with calcium hydroxide, and a composite base is added to activate the catalyst, stirred evenly, and allowed to stand to activate the activity;

[0009] S3. Mix the excited coal-based solid waste with cement and aggregate in proportion and stir evenly;

[0010] S4. Pressing the mixture into a shape and then curing it.

[0011] As an improvement, the ratio of coal gangue to fly ash in step S1 is 60:40 to 40:60.

[0012] As an improvement, the amount of calcium hydroxide added in step S2 is 5-8% of the weight of the mixed powder.

[0013] As an improvement, the composite alkali-activated catalyst in step S2 includes sodium silicate, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

[0014] As an improvement, the addition amount of each raw material in the composite alkali-activated catalyst in step S2 is: sodium silicate 0.8-1.2%, zinc oxide 0.15-0.3%, titanium dioxide 0.05-0.2%.

[0015] As an improvement, the curing conditions in step S4 are: at 20-30°C and 90-96% relative humidity, the curing time is 28-30 days

[0016] The technical advantages of the present invention are:

[0017] 1. The present invention effectively reduces the environmental pollution caused by coal gangue and fly ash by converting them into high-performance building materials, and at the same time realizes the recycling of resources. This method not only reduces the exploitation of natural resources, but also reduces the environmental pressure of solid waste treatment, and promotes the green development of the building materials industry.

[0018] 2. The building materials prepared by the method of the present invention have excellent mechanical properties and durability, meeting or even exceeding the standard requirements of the construction industry. At the same time, since low-cost solid waste is used as raw materials, the production cost is greatly reduced, the economic benefit is improved, and the building materials are more economical.

[0019] 3. The present invention uses a composite alkali-activated catalyst, including sodium silicate, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The catalyst of the present invention has a synergistic effect and can significantly increase the activity of coal-based solid waste, thereby improving the performance of the final product.
