Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building materials processing, and particularly relates to a heat-insulating brick based on cement mixture and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the requirements for energy conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development, in the construction industry, traditional solid bricks are difficult to meet the needs of modern buildings due to their disadvantages such as large weight and poor heat insulation performance. Heat-insulating bricks are a new type of building material synthesized using polymer materials or other inorganic non-metallic materials, which have a low thermal conductivity and good heat insulation effect, can effectively reduce heat transfer, and improve the heat insulation performance of buildings.

[0003] Among the existing technologies, cement foamed bricks, as a new type of building material made with cement as the raw material, combined with an appropriate amount of foaming agent and auxiliary materials, have gradually occupied a place in the construction industry due to their multi-functional, environmental protection and high-strength characteristics. The heat insulation performance of heat-insulating bricks has a great relationship with the uniformity of the internal pore distribution and the porosity. The more uniform the pore distribution and the higher the porosity of the heat-insulating brick, the better its heat insulation performance, and vice versa. In the preparation process of traditional heat-insulating bricks, due to the poor wetting performance and dispersibility of the aggregate itself, inorganic particles are prone to agglomeration, and the bonding force between the particles and the cement matrix is poor, resulting in the need to further improve the mechanical compressive strength of the heat-insulating brick. Moreover, the low dispersibility of traditional concrete materials will reduce the stability of the foam in the cement mixture, making it difficult for the foam to be evenly dispersed and stably present in the foaming slurry. The heat insulation performance and compressive strength of the heat-insulating brick materials need to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat-insulating brick based on cement mixture and a preparation method thereof, which are used to solve the technical problem that the heat insulation performance and compressive strength of the heat-insulating brick materials in the existing technology need to be further improved.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A heat-insulating brick based on cement mixture, comprising the following components by weight: 60-70 parts of PEG-modified aggregate, 20-25 parts of modified silica, 8-12 parts of silicon-based fiber powder, 30-50 parts of cement, 6-7 parts of additive, 30-40 parts of foaming liquid and 50-60 parts of drinking water;

[0006] The preparation method of the PEG-modified aggregate is: mixing and stirring the aggregate and drinking water, adding siloxane-modified PEG to the mixed system, raising the temperature of the reaction system to 60-70 °C, keeping warm and stirring for 4-6 h, and performing post-treatment to obtain the PEG-modified aggregate.

[0007] The synthesis reaction mechanism of the PEG-modified aggregate is:

[0008] During the reaction process, in an aqueous environment, the triethoxysilane molecules on the siloxane-modified PEG molecules hydrolyze to form silanols and bond with the surface of the aggregate particles, forming PEG modification on the aggregate particles to obtain PEG-modified aggregates.

[0009] Furthermore, the aggregates are composed of river sand, mullite powder, slag powder, and fly ash in a weight ratio of 15 - 17:6 - 7:5 - 7:8 - 10.

[0010] The additive is composed of a water reducer, a foam stabilizer, an air-entraining agent, and an early strength agent in a weight ratio of 5:3:2:2.

[0011] The foaming liquid is composed of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, ammonium persulfate, and drinking water in a dosage ratio of 2g:1.2g:1g:0.2g:40mL.

[0012] Furthermore, the dosage ratio of the aggregates, drinking water, and siloxane-modified PEG is 5g:20mL:2g. The post-treatment includes: after the reaction is completed, the temperature of the reaction system is reduced to room temperature, filtered by suction, the filter cake is washed twice with drinking water and then dried by suction, the filter cake is transferred to an oven at 60 - 70°C, and dried to a constant weight to obtain PEG-modified aggregates.

[0013] Furthermore, the preparation method of the siloxane-modified PEG is as follows: under the protection of an inert gas, PEG and tetrahydrofuran are mixed and stirred, the temperature of the reaction system is raised to 40 - 50°C, isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane is added to the reaction system, and the reaction is carried out under insulation for 2 - 3h, and then post-treated to obtain siloxane-modified PEG.

[0014] The synthesis reaction mechanism of siloxane-modified PEG is as follows:

[0015] During the reaction process, the hydroxyl groups on the PEG molecules undergo a condensation reaction with the isocyanate groups on the isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane molecules to form triethoxysilane modification on the PEG molecular chain, and siloxane-modified PEG is prepared.

[0016] Furthermore, the dosage ratio of the PEG, tetrahydrofuran, and isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane is 7g:40mL:3g. The PEG is PEG-800. The post-treatment includes: after the reaction is completed, the temperature of the reaction system is raised to 60°C, and the low-boiling substances are removed under reduced pressure to obtain siloxane-modified PEG.

[0017] Further, the preparation method of the modified silica is as follows: Mix lauric acid, dodecanol, and absolute ethanol and stir until the system dissolves. Add fumed silica to the reaction system, and under stirring at room temperature, disperse for 60 - 80 min. Then add the dispersion liquid to the reaction system, keep warm and stir for 30 - 50 min, and perform post-treatment to obtain the modified silica.

[0018] The synthesis reaction mechanism of the modified silica is as follows:

[0019] Ethanol is a good organic solvent, which helps dissolve lauric acid and dodecanol, enabling lauric acid and dodecanol to form a uniform dispersion liquid in absolute ethanol. When fumed silica is added to the reaction system, under the action of stirring, the fumed silica particles gradually disperse in the ethanol / lauric acid / dodecanol mixture to form a uniform dispersion system. Then, add the aqueous dispersion liquid to the reaction system. As a poor solvent, the aqueous dispersion liquid promotes the precipitation of lauric acid and dodecanol from ethanol and coats the outside of the fumed silica, and they precipitate from the solution in the form of coprecipitation to prepare the modified silica.

[0020] Further, the dosage ratio of lauric acid, dodecanol, absolute ethanol, fumed silica, and the dispersion liquid is 3 g: 2 g: 20 mL: 5 g: 40 mL. The dispersion liquid is composed of polyethylene glycol 400 and deionized water in a ratio of 2 - 3 g: 100 mL. The post-treatment includes: After the reaction is completed, lower the temperature of the reaction system to 10 - 15 °C, perform suction filtration, wash the filter cake with deionized water 3 times and then drain it, and let the filter cake dry naturally to obtain the modified silica.

[0021] Further, the silicon-based fiber powder is processed by the following steps:

[0022] A1. Mix chopped glass fibers and the activation liquid and stir. Raise the temperature of the reaction system to 60 - 80 °C, keep warm and react for 2 - 3 h, and perform post-treatment to obtain activated fibers.

[0023] A2. Stir and mix the activated fibers, methyltriethoxysilane, tetraethyl orthosilicate, 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane, and absolute ethanol. Lower the temperature of the reaction system to 10 - 15 °C, add hydrochloric acid solution to the reaction system, keep warm and react for 3 - 5 h, and perform post-treatment to obtain the silicon-based fiber powder.

[0024] The synthesis reaction mechanism of the silicon-based fiber powder is as follows:

[0025] As a strong base, sodium hydroxide can promote the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to generate oxidizing free radicals. During the reaction, the silicate structure on the surface of the glass fiber is oxidized or etched by the free radicals in the activation solution, increasing the surface roughness and active sites of the chopped glass fiber. Methyltriethoxysilane, tetraethyl orthosilicate, and 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane contain ethoxysilane bonds in these silane molecules. Under the condition of an acid catalyst, the ethoxysilyl groups decompose to form silanol groups, and the silanol groups react with each other or with the active reaction sites on the surface of the activated fiber to form siloxane bonds, forming a polyorganosiloxane coating modified with epoxy groups outside the fiber, and obtaining silicon-based fiber powder.

[0026] Further, in step A1, the dosage ratio of the chopped glass fiber to the activation solution is 1 g: 5-6 mL. The activation solution is composed of a 3-5 wt% sodium hydroxide solution and 20 wt% hydrogen peroxide in a volume ratio of 5:1. The post-treatment includes: after the reaction is completed, the temperature of the reaction system is lowered to room temperature, suction filtration is carried out, the filter cake is washed with drinking water until neutral and then dried by suction, the filter cake is transferred to a drying oven at 60-70 °C, and vacuum dried to constant weight to obtain activated fiber.

[0027] Further, in step A2, the dosage ratio of the activated fiber, methyltriethoxysilane, tetraethyl orthosilicate, 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane, absolute ethanol, and hydrochloric acid solution is 30 g: 10-12 g: 8-10 g: 4-6 g: 60 mL: 10 mL. The concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution is 0.8-1.2 mol / L. The post-treatment includes: after the reaction is completed, ammonia water is added to the reaction system to adjust the pH of the system to 7, the temperature of the reaction system is raised to 60-70 °C, and low-boiling substances are removed by reduced pressure evaporation to obtain a wet gel. The wet gel is evenly spread in a drying oven at 110-120 °C and dried to constant weight and then crushed to obtain silicon-based fiber powder.

[0028] The present invention also provides a preparation method of a heat-insulating brick based on a cement mixture, including the following steps:

[0029] S1. Add the foaming liquid into a foaming machine for foaming to obtain foamed foam.

[0030] S2. Add PEG-modified aggregate, cement, silicon-based fiber powder, modified silica, and additive into a mixer and stir for 3-5 min, add drinking water into the mixer, stir and mix for 8-10 min, and then add the foamed foam into the mixer and stir and disperse for 1-2 min to obtain a foamed slurry.

[0031] S3. Pour the foamed slurry into several molds respectively, then scrape the slurry on the upper surface of the mold flat and seal the mold, let it stand for 4-6 h, and demold to obtain a heat-insulating brick blank.

[0032] S4. Place the heat-insulating brick blank in a curing chamber and cure for 7 days to obtain the heat-insulating brick.

[0033] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. In the present invention, an aggregate is composed of river sand, mullite powder, slag powder and fly ash. Under the action of cement, the inorganic particles of the aggregate are connected to each other through physical and chemical bonding to form a certain strength basis. In this application, siloxane-modified PEG is used to modify the aggregate, and PEG is grafted onto the surface of the aggregate through triethoxysilane. As a non-ionic surfactant, PEG has good wettability and dispersibility. During the material preparation process, PEG can effectively reduce the surface tension of the aggregate particles, promote uniform dispersion between the particles, reduce the agglomeration between the particles, enhance the interfacial bonding force between the aggregate and the cement matrix, reduce the propagation of microcracks, and enhance the mechanical strength of the heat-insulating brick. Moreover, by promoting the uniform dispersion of the aggregate by PEG, a more uniform and fine pore structure can be formed in the material, increasing the porosity of the heat-insulating brick and improving its heat insulation performance.

[0035] 2. The present invention uses chopped glass fibers as raw materials and coats and modifies them with polysiloxane to increase the interfacial bonding force between the glass fibers and the matrix, and at the same time improve the strength of the fibers themselves, thereby indirectly enhancing the compressive strength of the foamed heat-insulating brick. The fumed silica is modified with two organic substances with longer molecular chains, lauric acid and dodecanol, endowing the modified silica particles with flexibility and mechanical strength, enabling the silica particles to better absorb and disperse stress when subjected to external forces, while the mechanical strength ensures that the particles themselves are not easily broken, thus effectively improving the overall performance of the material. Moreover, lauric acid, dodecanol and PEG-800 can absorb and release heat within a certain temperature range, reducing the impact of external temperature fluctuations on the indoor temperature, making the indoor temperature more stable and reducing carbon emissions.

[0036] 3. The present invention uses 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, ammonium persulfate, and drinking water to form a foaming solution. 2-Acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid in the foaming solution acts as a surfactant, which can reduce the surface tension of water and help form stable and fine foam. N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide acts as a crosslinking agent, which can enhance the stability of the foam. Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate acts as an anionic surfactant and can also play a role in stabilizing the foam. Ammonium persulfate acts as an initiator, which can initiate the polymerization of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide to form a polymer network with a certain viscosity, ensuring the formation of a uniform and delicate foam structure in the foaming slurry. The long-chain fatty acid structure modified on the modified silica particles helps form a more compact foam structure, reducing the mutual connection between bubbles, thereby improving the compressive strength and stability of the foam. By modifying the aggregate with PEG, the surface tension of the aggregate can be reduced, its surface wettability can be improved, and the aggregate and the foaming foam can be uniformly mixed during stirring, thereby improving the dispersibility of the foam in the foaming slurry and enhancing the heat insulation and mechanical compressive strength of the insulation brick.
