Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of reinforced concrete, and in particular to a conductive mortar and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention, and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0003] During the long-term use of reinforced concrete structures in coastal environments, the passive film of the steel bars inside the concrete is easily damaged by chloride ion erosion, which causes pitting corrosion, electrochemical corrosion and other corrosion phenomena in the steel bars inside the concrete. The corrosion products generated will expand from the inside and destroy the concrete, thus affecting the safety of the concrete structure. Electrochemical desalination is one of the important means to avoid steel corrosion. The principle is to use electrochemical methods to reduce the chloride ion concentration near the steel bars to prevent chloride ions from contacting the internal steel bars.

[0004] Conductive mortar anode is one of the important anodes in the electrochemical desalination method of reinforced concrete, but its overall electrochemical desalination effect is poorer than that of traditional desalination, especially the electrochemical extraction efficiency of chloride ions is poor. The prior art believes that: high-porosity anodes will enhance ion migration and improve electrochemical dechlorination efficiency, but this high porosity will make the anode fail to meet the basic mechanical performance requirements; and there are too many free chloride ions inside the conductive mortar anode, resulting in the effect of reducing the chloride ion concentration near the steel bars after the electrochemical dechlorination is completed, but the chloride ions will diffuse back to the vicinity of the steel bars along the path of "conductive mortar anode-concrete-near the steel bars" due to the concentration difference, causing secondary corrosion of the steel bars in the concrete. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a conductive mortar and a preparation method and application thereof, which can improve the electrochemical dechlorination efficiency by compounding silicate cement and sulphoaluminate cement and adding carbon fiber and nano-alumina sol, while also achieving mechanical properties.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The first aspect of the present invention provides a conductive mortar, comprising the following components in parts by mass: 650-700 parts of cement, 1000-1050 parts of sand and gravel, 12-15 parts of carbon fiber, 12-14 parts of dispersible latex powder, 250-280 parts of water, 0-21 parts of nano-alumina and 2-3 parts of water reducer; wherein the cement comprises silicate cement and sulphoaluminate cement in a mass ratio of (3-5):(5-7).

[0008] In a second aspect, the method for preparing the conductive mortar comprises the steps of:

[0009] S1, mixing cement, sand and carbon fiber evenly to obtain a first mixture;

[0010] S2, adding the dispersible latex powder into water and dispersing it evenly to obtain mixing water;

[0011] S3. Add mixing water and nano-alumina sol to the first mixture, and stir evenly to obtain conductive mortar.

[0012] In a third aspect, the application of the conductive mortar includes: preparing a conductive mortar anode for application in an electrochemical dechlorination method for reinforced concrete, comprising the steps of:

[0013] S4, applying the conductive mortar directly on the surface of reinforced concrete to obtain a conductive mortar anode;

[0014] S5, connect the positive electrode with conductive mortar anode, and connect the steel bars in reinforced concrete to the negative electrode, at 0.5~5A / m 2 power ups.

[0015] Optionally, in S4, the thickness of the conductive mortar anode is 10 mm to 20 mm, and it is cured for one day at a standard temperature of 20° C. and a humidity of ±90%.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. The present invention provides a conductive mortar, wherein the cement is obtained by mixing sulphoaluminate and ordinary silicate, and while increasing the macropores and enhancing the diffusion efficiency of chloride ions, it can also be combined with nano-alumina to achieve mechanical property adjustment, wherein the hydration reaction of nano-alumina with cement converts part of the CSH gel (hydrated calcium silicate) into CASH gel (hydrated calcium aluminosilicate gel), thereby absorbing and converting more free chloride ions, turning them into combined chloride ions, thereby reducing the content of free chloride ions and degrading secondary corrosion; that is, it has high strength, fast hardening, and high dechlorination effects. The cementitious material (including cement and nano-alumina) combines with dispersible latex powder and carbon fiber to play a synergistic role, and the larger macropores can construct a good conductive network and improve the conductivity of cement; similarly, the network structure interwoven by carbon fibers is also conducive to maintaining mechanical properties or reducing the reduction in mechanical properties.

[0018] 2. The electrochemical dechlorination method of the present invention is simple to operate and can be used to reinforce damaged materials. After the conductive mortar is cured on the surface of reinforced concrete, it can serve as a part of the concrete component for a long time under stress conditions.
