Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of building materials and relates to a high-fixed carbon recycled concrete aggregate and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Driven by the rapid development of the global economy and technological progress, the surge in energy demand has also led to a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, and the issue of carbon emissions has become a global focus. Against this background, the recycled concrete industry is showing unprecedented development opportunities.

[0003] Recycled concrete is a new type of building material made from waste concrete blocks that have been crushed, cleaned, sorted and mixed with a specific ratio of cement, water and other raw materials. It can be divided into several types according to the different combinations of ingredients: recycled concrete composed entirely of recycled aggregates, a mixed type in which the coarse aggregate is recycled and the fine aggregate is natural sand, and another mixed type in which the fine aggregate is recycled and the coarse aggregate is natural crushed stone.

[0004] Recycled concrete aggregates are made from specially treated waste concrete blocks and other similar materials, and can replace traditional natural aggregates to configure concrete with different performance requirements. According to the particle size, these aggregates can be further divided into coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. Compared with natural aggregates, recycled aggregates usually have lower bulk density and apparent density, stronger water absorption and higher shrinkage, which makes them more suitable in certain application scenarios.

[0005] However, the large number of microcracks formed in the production process of recycled aggregates cause their water absorption rate and speed to be much higher than that of natural aggregates, which in turn affects the strength of the final concrete products. Although existing physical or chemical modification methods can improve the performance of recycled concrete to a certain extent, there is no fundamental solution to the high porosity problem of the aggregate itself.

[0006] Carbon sequestration technology, also known as carbon storage technology, aims to increase the carbon content in non-atmospheric carbon pools through physical or biological means and reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Physical carbon sequestration technology involves long-term storage of carbon dioxide in underground oil and gas fields or deep sea environments; biological carbon sequestration technology uses plant photosynthesis to enhance the carbon absorption capacity of ecosystems.

[0007] Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important branch of carbon sequestration technology. It collects carbon dioxide emitted by large industrial facilities and uses various means to store it safely to prevent it from entering the atmosphere. The more advanced carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) not only includes the traditional carbon capture and storage process, but also adds a new link to utilize carbon dioxide, making it a more comprehensive and efficient emission reduction solution. This technology has been widely recognized for its efficiency, convenience and comprehensiveness.

[0008] In summary, the combination of material modification technology and carbon sequestration technology is crucial to promoting technological innovation and development in the recycled concrete industry. This can not only promote the research and development of high-performance recycled concrete aggregates, but also conform to the trend of green transformation in the construction industry.

[0026] Preferably, the CO2 Concentration>99%, the gas pressure in the carbon fixation device is 0.1~1bar.

[0058] The recycled concrete aggregate in this comparative example is processed from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 20 parts of cement, 70 parts of mortar, 1 part of water reducing agent, and 30 parts of water.

[0061] Comparative Example 7

[0062] The difference between the recycled concrete aggregate in this comparative example and that in Example 1 is that the particle size of the prepared recycled concrete aggregate is 5 to 10 mm.

[0063] The specific preparation method includes the following steps: adding water to a blender, then sequentially adding cement, mortar, water reducing agent, chitosan, methyl cellulose, phenolic compounds and protein components to stir to form a slurry, molding and curing the mixed slurry until it is completely hardened; knocking to obtain fragments, placing the fragments on a square hole sieve with a particle size of 10 mm for screening; collecting the fragments that cannot pass through the square hole sieve and knocking again until the particle size of the fragments is within the range of 5 to 10 mm, thereby obtaining high-fixed carbon recycled concrete aggregate, storing it in a sealed bag, and keeping it for later use.

[0064] The rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0065] The recycled concrete aggregates of the above-mentioned embodiment and comparative example were subjected to carbon fixation treatment, specifically comprising the following steps: performing carbon fixation treatment in an environment with a temperature of 22° C. and a humidity of 60%; opening the main valve, exhaust valve, and vacuum valve of the carbon fixation device in sequence, and when the internal air pressure of the carbon fixation device is -0.7 bar, closing the exhaust valve and vacuum valve in sequence to ensure that the airtightness of the carbon fixation device meets the requirements; then placing high carbon fixation recycled concrete aggregates; introducing CO 2 (concentration>99%) and adjust the air pressure in the carbon fixation device to 0.5 bar; after carbon fixation is completed, close the air inlet valve, open the exhaust valve and vacuum valve of the carbon fixation device in turn, and close all valves until the air pressure in the carbon fixation device is 0, and take out the recycled concrete aggregate after carbon fixation from the device.

[0066] The carbon fixation capacity of recycled concrete aggregate was tested, and the apparent density and water absorption difference of the recycled concrete aggregate after carbon fixation were tested. The specific test results are shown in Table 1.

[0067] Table 1 Test results of recycled concrete aggregate performance of examples and comparative examples

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] As shown in Table 1, it can be seen from Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 that the recycled concrete aggregate prepared using the raw materials within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention has a short carbon fixation time and a high carbon fixation amount, and after carbon fixation, the apparent density of the recycled concrete aggregate can be effectively improved and the water absorption rate can be reduced; in Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the recycled concrete aggregate prepared without using the raw materials within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention has a significantly longer carbon fixation time and a low overall carbon fixation amount, wherein almost no carbon fixation occurs at 20 to 50 hours, and at the same time, the improvement in water absorption performance weakens, and the apparent density cannot be improved.

[0071] In Comparative Example 6, too low a water-cement ratio of mortar is used. Although the water absorption rate is improved, the carbon fixation capacity is greatly reduced. The too low water-cement ratio leads to a longer carbon fixation time and a lower carbon fixation amount, and it cannot improve the apparent density. In Comparative Example 7, recycled concrete aggregate with a particle size of 5 to 10 mm is used. The particle size is too small, which also reduces the carbon fixation capacity and affects the water absorption performance.

[0072] The various aspects, embodiments, and features of the present invention should be considered to be illustrative in all aspects and not limiting of the present invention, the scope of which is defined solely by the claims. Other embodiments, modifications, and uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed invention.

[0073] In the preparation method of the present invention, the order of each step is not limited to the order listed. For those skilled in the art, without creative work, the order of each step is also within the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, two or more steps or actions can be performed simultaneously.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. A person skilled in the art of the present invention may make various modifications or supplements to the specific embodiments described, or replace them in a similar manner. It is not necessary and impossible to provide all examples of all implementation methods here. However, these obvious changes or modifications derived from the essential spirit of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention, and interpreting them as any additional limitation is contrary to the spirit of the present invention.
