Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of microbial modification and recycling of construction waste, and particularly relates to a method for optimizing the use of microbial denitrification phenomenon to modify recycled coarse aggregate and recycled aggregate concrete based on the same. Background Art

[0002] There is an urgent need to find substitutes for natural aggregates to solve the problem of scarce natural aggregate resources. The recycled aggregates obtained by crushing, screening, and classifying construction waste can not only reduce the negative impact of construction waste on the environment and achieve green and sustainable development of the construction industry, but also alleviate the current huge demand for natural sand and gravel.

[0003] Due to the deteriorated physical and mechanical properties of recycled aggregates themselves, the properties of recycled aggregate concrete decline continuously with the increase of the replacement rate of recycled aggregates. In order to strengthen recycled aggregates and ensure the performance of recycled aggregate concrete, existing technologies have used methods such as mechanical grinding, acid solution soaking, and carbonization to treat recycled aggregates and achieved good results. However, the above methods all have different drawbacks, such as high energy consumption, introduction of harmful substances, and long treatment time.

[0004] Using the microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation technology to treat recycled aggregates is a new method proposed in recent years, which has the characteristics of environmental friendliness, good compatibility between the precipitate and concrete, and low energy consumption, making it generally considered a promising method for modifying recycled aggregates. At present, ureolytic bacteria are commonly used in the field of modifying recycled aggregates. However, during the mineralization process of such bacteria, toxic gas ammonia is inevitably released, which will also cause adverse effects on the human body and the environment.

[0005] Patent CN112851170A discloses a method for strengthening recycled aggregate concrete by using the microbial denitrification phenomenon and recycled aggregate concrete. During the process of modifying recycled aggregates by using this method, the generation of ammonia is avoided, and the mechanical properties of recycled aggregates and recycled aggregate concrete are effectively improved. However, the mineralization efficiency of denitrifying bacteria is lower than that of ureolytic bacteria, resulting in poor effect of modifying recycled aggregates.

[0006] For the above reasons, there is an urgent need for an optimized method for using denitrifying bacteria to improve the performance of recycled aggregate concrete to improve the effect of using denitrifying bacteria to modify recycled coarse aggregates and recycled aggregate concrete. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Aiming at the problems existing in the above background art, the present invention provides a method for optimizing the use of the microbial denitrification phenomenon to modify recycled coarse aggregates and recycled aggregate concrete based on the same, improving the effect of using the microbial denitrification phenomenon to modify the performance of recycled coarse aggregates, and this technology can greatly improve the physical properties such as the strength and water absorption of recycled aggregate concrete.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A method for modifying recycled coarse aggregate by optimizing the utilization of microbial denitrification phenomenon, comprising the following steps:

[0010] (1) Pour the high-concentration bacterial solution onto the surface of the dry recycled coarse aggregate, and let it stand still to allow the surface to fully absorb the denitrifying bacteria matrix, obtaining the recycled coarse aggregate attached with denitrifying bacteria;

[0011] (2) Immerse the recycled coarse aggregate attached with denitrifying bacteria obtained in step (1) in the mineralization solution to obtain the recycled coarse aggregate strengthened by microorganisms;

[0012] (3) Take out the recycled coarse aggregate strengthened by microorganisms obtained in step (2) from the mixed solution, wash it, and then place it in a constant-temperature oven to dry to a constant weight;

[0013] (4) Vacuum impregnate the dried recycled coarse aggregate in step (3) with the bacterial solution, so that the strengthened recycled coarse aggregate immobilizes denitrifying bacteria, obtaining the modified recycled coarse aggregate of the present invention;

[0014] The preparation method of the high-concentration bacterial solution in step (1) includes:

[0015] (a) Inoculate bacteria into a sterile liquid medium for cultivation to obtain a denitrifying bacteria solution;

[0016] The bacteria is Pseudomonas denitrificans ATCC13867;

[0017] The sterile liquid medium is obtained by sterilizing the prepared bacterial medium I in a high-pressure sterilizer at 121 °C and 100 kPa for 10 - 25 min. The components of the bacterial medium I include 2 - 5 g / L of beef extract powder, 2 - 5 g / L of sodium chloride, 4 - 10 g / L of peptone, and 4 - 10 g / L of sucrose;

[0018] (b) Mix the pure bacteria body after centrifuging the denitrifying bacteria solution obtained in step (a) with the bacterial medium II to obtain the high-concentration bacterial solution;

[0019] The bacterial medium II is the supernatant after centrifuging the denitrifying bacteria solution, and its dosage is the water absorption corresponding to 1.2 - 1.4 times the water absorption rate of the recycled coarse aggregate. Dilute the pure bacteria body obtained by centrifugation with the bacterial medium II to obtain the high-concentration bacterial solution;

[0020] In step (2), the mineralization solution includes 21 - 23 g / L calcium formate, 7.5 - 8.2 g / L calcium nitrate and the components of bacterial medium III. The components of bacterial medium III include 2 - 5 g / L beef extract powder, 2 - 5 g / L sodium chloride, 4 - 10 g / L peptone, 4 - 10 g / L sucrose, and their dosages are based on each liter of deionized water.

[0021] In step (4), the bacterial solution is obtained by centrifuging the bacterial solution proliferated from bacterial medium I and then rediluting it with a 1 - 3 g / L glucose solution. The OD600 value of the bacterial solution is 0.7 - 1.0, and the bacterium used is Pseudomonas denitrificans ATCC13867.

[0022] Furthermore, in the method for preparing the high - concentration bacterial solution of the present invention, in step (a), the culture temperature is 30 - 35 °C and the culture time is 24 - 48 h.

[0023] Furthermore, in the method for preparing the high - concentration bacterial solution of the present invention, in step (b), the concentration OD of the denitrifying bacterial solution to be centrifuged 600 is 0.7.

[0024] Furthermore, in the method for preparing the high - concentration bacterial solution of the present invention, in step (b), the rotation speed of the centrifugation is 5000 - 7000 rmp / min and the centrifugation time is 5 - 8 min.

[0025] Furthermore, in step (1), the recycled coarse aggregate, by volume fraction, contains 40% recycled concrete aggregate and 60% recycled brick aggregate, and the recycled coarse aggregate is 5 - 20 mm continuous - graded crushed stone.

[0026] Furthermore, the method for preparing the dried recycled coarse aggregate in step (1) of the present invention includes: washing the recycled coarse aggregate with tap water and then drying it in an oven at 60 - 105 °C for 12 - 24 h to obtain the dried recycled coarse aggregate.

[0027] Furthermore, the time for the dried recycled coarse aggregate in step (1) of the present invention to statically absorb the high - concentration denitrifying bacterial solution is 6 - 12 h.

[0028] Furthermore, after the mineralization solution in step (2) of the present invention is prepared, the pH is adjusted to 9 by dropping NaOH solution and HCl solution, and then the recycled coarse aggregate attached with denitrifying bacteria obtained in step (1) is immersed in the solution. The environmental temperature during the immersion is 30 °C and the immersion time is 8 - 12 d; the ratio of the recycled coarse aggregate to the mineralization solution is 1000 g:1000 ml.

[0029] The denitrifying bacteria used in the present invention utilize calcium formate and calcium nitrate as carbon source, nitrogen source, and calcium source, and through a series of chemical reactions, calcium carbonate precipitation is generated. The mineralization principle is shown by the following chemical equation:

[0030] 5Ca(HCOO) 2 +2Ca(NO 3 ) 2 →7CaCO 3 ↓+5H 2 O+2N 2 ↑+3CO 2 ↑

[0031] Further, in step (3) of the present invention, the recycled coarse aggregate after being treated in step (2) is washed with tap water to remove surface impurities and ineffective calcium carbonate precipitation.

[0032] Further, in step (4) of the present invention, the pressure of vacuum impregnation is -0.06 MPa, and the impregnation time is 20 - 30 min.

[0033] A method for preparing recycled aggregate concrete using the above-mentioned modified recycled coarse aggregate includes: taking out the prepared modified recycled coarse aggregate from the impregnation container and drying the surface moisture to make it reach the saturated surface dry state, and then using the modified recycled coarse aggregate carrying bacteria to replace part of the natural coarse aggregate in the fresh concrete, and mixing it with water, cement, sand, natural coarse aggregate, and deposition medium to obtain recycled aggregate concrete;

[0034] The deposition medium is a mixed solution of 7 - 9 kg / m 3 calcium formate and 2.5 - 3.5 kg / m 3 calcium nitrate, and its dosage is based on per cubic meter of concrete;

[0035] The substitution method of the modified recycled coarse aggregate for natural coarse aggregate is equal - volume substitution, and the substitution rate is 20 - 50%.

[0036] Compared with other existing methods for modifying recycled aggregate using microbial - induced calcium carbonate precipitation technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] (1) It makes full use of recycled concrete aggregate and recycled brick aggregate to make concrete, reduces the exploitation of natural aggregate and is beneficial to environmental protection. Especially, due to its large porosity, recycled brick aggregate can carry more bacteria and effectively protect bacteria from the high - alkali environment of mortar and the negative impact of concrete mixing, and enables it to fully play the role of internal curing during the concrete curing stage and generate calcium carbonate precipitation to fill the pores and micro - cracks in the mortar matrix of concrete.

[0038] (2) The denitrifying bacteria used in the present invention do not require the provision of urea during the mineralization process, thus avoiding the generation of ammonia; the calcium formate and calcium nitrate used can not only form CaCO 3 precipitation with the bacteria during mineralization, but also are a kind of concrete admixture with little negative impact on the performance of concrete. In addition, the brick powder on the surface of the recycled brick aggregate has pozzolanic activity and can react with Ca(OH) 2 to form CaCO 3 precipitation, further filling the ITZ and mortar microcracks and improving the strength of recycled aggregate concrete.

[0039] (3) The recycled coarse aggregate modified by the method of the present invention has greatly improved various physical properties and effectively reduced the amount of calcium carbonate precipitation ineffective for the modified recycled aggregate.

[0040] (4) The recycled aggregate concrete produced by the method of the present invention has physical properties equivalent to those of natural aggregate concrete under the same mix ratio conditions, and its strength is even slightly higher than that of natural aggregate concrete.

Dilute the pure bacteria obtained by centrifugation with Bacterial Medium II to obtain the high-concentration bacteria liquid;

[0062] The rotation speed of the centrifugation is 5000 - 7000 rmp / min, and the centrifugation time is 5 - 8 min;

The results show that the physical properties of the recycled coarse aggregates are significantly improved after modification, and the results are listed in Table 1.

[0068] Application implementation method

[0069] Application Example 1

[0070] Use the saturated surface dry modified recycled coarse aggregates and saturated surface dry unmodified recycled coarse aggregates obtained in Example 1 to replace 20% of the natural aggregates in the fresh concrete to produce recycled aggregate concrete, and at the same time produce natural aggregate concrete as the control group. The mix proportions of the three groups of concrete are shown in Table 2.

[0073] The freshly mixed concrete prepared according to the concrete mix proportion in Table 2 was placed in a mold, vibrated, demolded, and then cured in a curing room. When the curing age reached 28 days, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and water absorption of the concrete were tested in accordance with the Standard for Test Methods of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete (GB / T 50081-2019) to investigate the influence of the modified recycled coarse aggregate on the concrete properties. The results are listed in Table 3.

[0085] As can be seen from Table 5, the strength of recycled aggregate concrete with a recycled aggregate replacement rate of 50% is roughly close to that of natural aggregate concrete. The water absorption rate of the modified recycled aggregate concrete has decreased by 12.3%.
