Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete admixture technology, specifically to a method for preparing a low-carbon hydration temperature rise inhibitor. Background Technology

[0002] The hydration reaction of cement is an exothermic reaction. This heat release, coupled with the low thermal conductivity of concrete, means that large-volume concrete may experience significant temperature differences, leading to substantial variations in setting time at different temperatures. This can result in crystallization defects, increasing the risk of cracking and ultimately affecting the durability of the concrete. In the course of social development, large-volume concrete is widely used in many fields due to its advantageous properties. However, cement hydration is prone to causing temperature cracks. Therefore, the development of cement hydration temperature rise inhibitors has become a key focus in concrete admixtures in recent years, and is of great significance for ensuring the quality of concrete construction and structural safety.

[0003] Currently available hydration temperature rise inhibitors have several shortcomings. In large-volume concrete applications, taking the construction of large bridge pier foundations as an example, even with the use of inhibitors, the internal temperature will still rise to some extent; only the rate of temperature rise is reduced, and the problem cannot be fundamentally eliminated. In high-temperature environments, such as during summer construction, the performance of inhibitors is significantly limited, making it difficult to effectively control the magnitude of hydration temperature rise. From the perspective of its impact on concrete performance, it may delay the formation of early concrete strength, which is undoubtedly an obstacle to meeting the requirements of construction tasks with urgent strength demands, such as rapid demolding of precast components. More importantly, some inhibitors may introduce components into the concrete that pose a potential threat to durability, leading to a decrease in the concrete's impermeability and frost resistance, thereby affecting the long-term stability and service life of the concrete structure. Furthermore, with population growth and increasing demand for energy and chemical materials, the demand for chemical polymers is increasing dramatically. Humanity faces the dual pressures of resource scarcity and environmental pollution, making green and low-carbon development crucial.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a concrete hydration heat inhibitor that is simple to prepare, green and low-carbon, and has excellent performance. By inhibiting the hydration temperature rise, it can reduce the risk of cracking caused by temperature drop and shrinkage in concrete, thereby achieving the purpose of crack resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a low-carbon hydration temperature rise inhibitor. This inhibitor has a good hydration temperature rise effect, which can reduce the risk of cracking in concrete caused by temperature drop shrinkage and prevent cracking.

[0006] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A method for preparing a low-carbonization temperature rise inhibitor is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Dissolve kraft lignin in tetrahydrofuran, then add an alkaline catalyst at room temperature, then add a phosphating agent, heat to the solvent reflux state, maintain for 8 hours, cool to room temperature, quench with water, and then successively evaporate and dry to obtain phosphonylated kraft lignin.

[0008] The reaction process is as follows:

[0009]

[0010] (2) Dissolve the phosphonyl lignin and paraformaldehyde obtained in step (1) in a mixed solvent, add an alkaline catalyst at room temperature, stir at 200-500 r / min, heat to 60-70℃ for 2-6 h, cool to room temperature to obtain a low carbon hydration temperature rise inhibitor.

[0011] The reaction process is as follows:

[0012]

[0013] Furthermore, in step (1), the mass ratio of Kraft lignin, tetrahydrofuran, alkaline catalyst and phosphating agent is 10:30:0.1-0.3:1-3.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (1), the phosphating agent is one of the following: ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, phosphoric acid, tetraphosphate, trimethyl phosphite, and triethyl phosphite.

[0015] Further, in step (1), excess phosphating agent is quenched with water, tetrahydrofuran is removed by rotary evaporation, and the product is dried at 75°C.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (2), the mass ratio of phosphonyl lignin, paraformaldehyde, mixed solvent and alkaline catalyst is 10:5-15:30:0.1-0.3.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the degree of polymerization of paraformaldehyde is 8-30.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (2), the mixed solvent is composed of deionized water and ethanol mixed in a mass ratio of 27:3.

[0019] Furthermore, in steps (1) and (2), the alkaline catalyst is one of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, triethylamine, and N,N-dimethylacetamide.

[0020] The present invention also provides a low-carbon hydration temperature rise inhibitor prepared by the above-mentioned method.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. Kraft lignin is a three-dimensional network polymer composed of phenylpropane units linked by ether and carbon-carbon bonds. It possesses air-entraining properties, introducing tiny, uniformly distributed air bubbles into concrete, improving its impermeability and freeze-thaw resistance, thereby enhancing its durability and extending the service life of concrete structures. Furthermore, Kraft lignin contains various active functional groups, including phenolic hydroxyl groups, which endow it with certain antioxidant capabilities. Kraft lignin also exhibits surface activity, improving the workability of concrete.

[0023] 2. After lignin is phosphonylated, it can slow down the cement hydration reaction rate and reduce the hydration heat release rate. The main principles are as follows: (1) Formation of protective film: Phosphonyl compounds can form a protective film on the surface of cement particles, preventing cement particles from fully contacting water, slowing down the hydration reaction rate of cement, and thus reducing the release rate of hydration heat; (2) Complexation: Phosphonyl groups can complex with metal ions in cement hydration products to form relatively stable complexes, reducing the number of ions that can participate in the hydration reaction, thereby delaying the hydration process of cement and reducing the hydration heat; (3) Adsorption: Phosphonyl groups have strong polarity and can be adsorbed on the surface of cement particles, changing the surface properties and charge distribution of cement particles, increasing the electrostatic repulsion between cement particles, improving dispersibility, hindering the agglomeration of cement particles and the formation of hydration products, and achieving the effect of reducing the hydration heat; (4) Delaying the formation and growth of crystal nuclei: The presence of phosphonyl groups will affect the formation and growth of crystal nuclei during the cement hydration process. It may be adsorbed on the surface of crystal nuclei, preventing the further growth and development of crystal nuclei, so that the hydration reaction of cement cannot proceed quickly, thereby reducing the generation of hydration heat.

[0024] 3. The condensation reaction of lignin and aldehydes enhances the inhibitory effect on cement hydration. The principle is as follows: (1) Formation of steric hindrance: After condensation of lignin and aldehydes, the molecular structure becomes larger and more complex, forming a thicker covering film on the surface of cement particles, which hinders the contact between cement particles and water, making it difficult for cement particles to fully hydrate, thus delaying the cement hydration process; (2) Consumption of hydroxyl groups: The condensation reaction consumes some of the hydroxyl groups in lignin, and hydroxyl groups can interact with calcium ions in cement to promote hydration. After their number decreases, the charge distribution on the surface of cement particles changes, and the electrostatic repulsion between particles increases. Adding cement particles disperses them, making them less likely to agglomerate and form hydration products, thus inhibiting cement hydration; (3) Changing the pore structure of cement: the condensation products fill the pores between cement particles, making the pores inside the cement smaller and more evenly distributed, hindering the migration and diffusion of water inside the cement, reducing the chance of cement contacting water, and thus inhibiting cement hydration; (4) Adsorption and retarding effect: the polar groups in the condensation products can be adsorbed on the surface of cement particles, preventing cement particles from contacting water. At the same time, its molecular chains can form complexes with the ions in the cement hydration products, delaying the formation and growth of cement crystal nuclei and inhibiting cement hydration.

[0025] 4. Lignin is a natural high-molecular polymer with wide availability. It can be extracted from waste materials in the papermaking industry, enabling effective resource reuse, reducing waste emissions, and aligning with environmental protection principles. Furthermore, the raw material cost of lignin-based additives is relatively low. Their main raw material, Kraft lignin, is a byproduct of the papermaking pulping process, with abundant sources and low prices. Secondly, lignin-based additives are non-toxic and harmless, and are not flammable or explosive hazardous materials. They offer high safety during storage, transportation, and use, and will not cause harm to human health or the environment. Attached Figure Description
