Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of coating technology, and specifically relates to a red mud-based polymer inorganic reflective coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Highway tunnels are characterized by strong closure, large changes in light and darkness, and strict speed control, which have great limitations in ventilation, lighting, sight distance, disaster relief, etc. If a traffic accident occurs in a tunnel, it is very likely to lead to a secondary accident, bringing great difficulties to emergency management and rescue work.
[0003] In order to ensure the driving safety of highway tunnels and improve driving comfort, taking reasonable measures to illuminate the tunnels is the current development focus.
[0004] Red mud is an industrial solid waste. Random stacking or landfilling will cause environmental pollution. Using red mud and alkali activators as geopolymer materials can effectively realize the recycling of solid waste resources. Using the cementitious material generated by the reaction as the main film-forming substance can effectively enhance the fire retardant and mechanical properties of the coating.
[0005] At present, most of the coatings used for tunnel inner wall painting are gray and blue inorganic coatings, which have weak diffuse reflection ability, and the light and dark changes before and after the vehicle enters the tunnel are large, and the lighting effect in the tunnel is weak, which is not conducive to driving safety. Inorganic coatings with reflective effects can effectively enhance the reflectivity of tunnel coatings, improve tunnel lighting effects, and ensure driving safety. Summary of the invention
[0006] Aiming at the defects of current inorganic coatings for tunnels, the present invention enhances the reflective effect and use effect of the coating under the concept of environmental protection, and proposes a red mud-based polymer inorganic reflective coating and a preparation method thereof.
[0007] Preferably, the red mud-based polymer inorganic reflective coating is used for tunnel interior decoration and mine cave brightening coating.
[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention uses red mud and alkaline activator as the main film-forming substances, adjusts the ratio of red mud and alkaline activator by compounding sodium silicate solution and solid sodium hydroxide, and utilizes the three-dimensional mesh gelling material produced by the reaction of the two to improve the mechanical properties of the coating. Adding styrene acrylic emulsion to the above coating can improve the film-forming state of the coating and effectively reduce the cracking phenomenon of the paint film. Adding mesh size to the above coating can fill glass microbeads with each other, supplemented with titanium dioxide and color paste, to improve the reflective properties of the coating. The red mud-based polymer inorganic reflective coating proposed by the present invention has good adhesion to the base layer, good mechanical properties of the paint film, high pencil hardness, and high reflection coefficient. In addition, the organic matter components in the coating are effectively reduced, and the fireproof performance is excellent. It can effectively improve the lighting effect of the tunnel.
