[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building materials, and particularly relates to a self-healing concrete material utilizing the synergistic effect of microbial mineralization and biopolymer, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The repair of traditional concrete cracks relies on manual intervention. Most existing self-healing technologies use chemical microcapsules (such as epoxy resin), which have problems such as high cost (about 30% increase in material cost), environmental unfriendliness (microplastic pollution), and low repair efficiency (only able to repair cracks less than 0.3 mm). In some microbial repair solutions, the survival rate of strains is low (<40%), and it is difficult to survive for a long time in a concrete environment with pH>12.

[0003] Therefore, a self-healing concrete based on biological materials and its preparation method are urgently needed to be studied. Summary of the Invention

[0011] 2) Dry granulation: The spores and calcium lactate are spray-dried and granulated according to a mass ratio of 1:3;

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the granulation particle size in step 2) is 20 - 50 μm in particle size.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the gel concentration formed in step 3) is 5%.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the rotation speed of the mixer in step 4) is 45 rpm and the time is 3 min.

Specific embodiments

[0019] The following specific examples are used to illustrate the present invention, and it is not a limitation to the present invention.

[0020] A self - repairing concrete based on biological materials includes a triple - synergistic repair system:

[0021] 1. Biological repair bacterium agent: Spores of Bacillus cohnii (particle size 5 - 10 μm) and a calcium lactate carrier complex;

[0022] 2. Biological enzyme catalyst: Papain (enzyme activity ≥ 3000 U / g);

[0023] 3. Biological polymer network: Alginate - chitosan interpenetrating network (molecular weight 150 - 200 kDa);

[0024] Synergistic mechanism:

[0025] After the crack is immersed in water, the biopolymer swells to form a three - dimensional network (swelling rate ≥ 500%);

[0026] Papain decomposes the polymer to release Ca 2+ and activates spore germination;

[0027] Microbial metabolism produces carbonic anhydrase to catalyze the deposition of CaCO3 (the mineralization amount reaches 1.8 g / cm in 7 days) 3 ).

[0028] In the specific implementation of the present invention, it is prepared through the following steps:

[0029] Step 1: Bacillus is cultured in LB medium at 37°C until the spore formation rate > 95%.

[0030] Step 2: The spores and calcium lactate are spray-dried and granulated according to a mass ratio of 1:3 (particle size 20 - 50 μm).

[0031] Step 3: The biopolymer is pre-dissolved in 0.1M CaCl2 solution to form a 5% gel.

[0032] Step 4: The above components are mixed with cement and aggregate in a planetary mixer (rotation speed 45 rpm, time 3 min).

[0033] The present invention has the following effects:

[0034] 1. Significantly improve the crack repair ability

[0035] Repair width breakthrough: Through the three-level synergistic mechanism of biopolymer swelling + enzymatic hydrolysis energy supply + microbial mineralization, crack repair of 0.8 mm level is achieved (traditional microcapsule technology is only 0.3 mm), covering more than 90% of common concrete structure cracks (statistical according to ACI224R standard);

[0036] Repair speed optimization: Papain accelerates the degradation of biopolymers (the enzymatic hydrolysis rate is increased by 3 times), and the mineralization reaction is initiated within 3 days (traditional microbial concrete requires more than 7 days);

[0037] Long-term effectiveness: The biopolymer network provides a continuous water-locking function (water retention rate > 85%), ensuring that the repair can be triggered multiple times when the crack repeatedly cracks.

[0038] 2. Environmental friendliness revolution

[0039] Zero microplastic pollution: Using all bio-based materials (sodium alginate, chitosan, microbial spores), avoiding the microplastic release problem of traditional epoxy resin microcapsules;

[0040] Carbon-negative repair: The microbial mineralization process fixes CO2 (the carbon fixation amount per cubic meter of concrete reaches 2.1 kg, verified by TGA-MS);

[0041] Biodegradability: All additives can be decomposed by the environment after the end of the concrete life cycle (the soil degradation rate in 28 days > 95%, ASTM D5988 test).

[0042] 3. Enhancement of Material Properties

[0043] Recovery of mechanical properties: The recovery rate of 28-day compressive strength is 92% (only 70 - 80% is recovered by traditional repair), and the elastic modulus is increased by 15% (ASTM C469 test);

[0044] Leap in impermeability: After repair, the chloride ion permeability coefficient is reduced by 3 orders of magnitude (from 10 -7 to 10 -10 m 2 / s, ASTM C1202 electric flux method);

[0045] Doubling of durability: Freeze-thaw cycle test (ASTM C666) shows that the repaired specimens can withstand 300 cycles (the unrepaired group fails after only 50 cycles).

[0046] 4. Economic Advantages

[0047] Cost savings: The total cost of additives only increases by 8 - 12% (more than 30% increase in traditional microcapsule technology);

[0048] Convenient construction: Directly incorporated into the concrete mixture, without the need for post - surface coating or injection repair (saving 60% of labor costs);

[0049] Extended life cycle: The maintenance cycle of the concrete structure is extended from 5 - 10 years to more than 20 years (LCC analysis shows that the total life - cycle cost is reduced by 40%).

[0050] 5. Breakthrough in Biocompatibility

[0051] Adaptability to high - alkali environment: Through the chitosan - calcium lactate buffer system, the pH of the micro - environment around the spores is stabilized at 9 - 10 (the spore survival rate in traditional technology is <40%, which is increased to 92% in this invention, verified by qPCR quantification);

[0052] Intelligent oxygen supply: The biopolymer network forms micropores (pore size 5 - 20μm) during swelling, providing an oxygen channel for microorganisms (the dissolved oxygen amount is increased by 4 times, measured by Clark oxygen electrode).

[0053] 6. Intelligent Response Characteristics

[0054] Moisture - triggered mechanism: The repair is only initiated when the crack is filled with water (avoiding ineffective consumption in the non - damaged state);

[0055] Self - regulating energy supply: The calcium lactate carrier releases Ca 2+ (positively correlated with the crack depth, and the maximum calcium supply amount reaches 18 mmol / L);

[0056] Multi-level repair logic: First repair large cracks (0.5 - 0.8 mm), then repair micro-cracks (<0.1 mm), with a 50% improvement in resource allocation efficiency.
