Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of waste mud treatment, in particular to a method for enhancing and modifying the geopolymer solidification performance of mud with high bentonite content. Background Art

[0002] As a new type of cementitious material, geopolymers offer low-carbon, environmentally friendly advantages, attracting increasing research interest. They are gradually becoming an alternative to high-energy cement. Their outstanding acid and alkali resistance, high strength, and other properties also address many challenges that cement cannot address. Currently, geopolymers are widely used to recycle waste mud. By solidifying waste mud to produce functional products, waste mud can not only be consumed on-site but also transported to factories for processing into building materials, playing a significant role in environmental protection and cost savings. However, the composition and content of clay minerals in muds from different sources vary. These minerals may originate from the mud itself or from additives added during construction. For example, bentonite is commonly added to slurry shield and drilling mud to improve fluidity and facilitate construction. However, these clay minerals, with varying degrees of adsorption, can negatively impact the depolymerization and polycondensation reactions during geopolymer solidification, thereby negatively affecting the solidification of geopolymers in the mud. Among them, bentonite (montmorillonite as the main component) is the most common clay mineral in nature and on construction sites, and it also has the strongest adsorption properties.

[0003] Traditional high bentonite content mud treatment has the following problems:

[0004] (1) Traditional research has focused on enhancing the adsorption of bentonite without inhibiting its interference with geopolymer reactions. Therefore, there is currently no solution specifically for the poor effect of geopolymer solidification of slurries with high bentonite clay mineral content.

[0005] (2) There is a lack of special curing enhancement modification agent formulas and standardized operating procedures for high-bentonite mud.

[0006] (3) The current mud solidification treatment methods are simple means such as mechanical stirring and filter pressing. The process lacks real-time monitoring means, resulting in uncontrollable reaction conditions and large differences in solidification effects. Summary of the Invention

[0043] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0044] The present invention is a patent for a method for treating Ca 2+ and Na +A method for improving the solidification strength of waste mud based on the ion selective adsorption exchange mechanism and the geopolymer reaction principle, including a solidification modification additive formula and an intelligent real-time detection-control system, can be applied to the resource utilization of waste mud, especially for waste mud with high bentonite content. It is a method worthy of promotion and application for improving geopolymer-based solidified waste mud.

[0045] Specifically, the method for enhancing the curing performance of geopolymer in high-bentonite content mud includes a method for adding a curing enhancement modification agent, wherein the method comprises: adding the curing enhancement modification agent to the high-bentonite content mud, stirring evenly, and then standing to cure;

[0046] The curing enhancement and modification additive includes the following raw material components in percentage by mass:

[0047] Calcium chloride 70~80%, sodium chloride 10~20%, nano-silicon dioxide 10~15%, dispersant 5~10%, EDTA-polymer derivative 0.5~3%.

[0048] Calcium chloride is used to provide Ca 2+ source, selectively adsorbing ions in the mud and optimizing ion balance; sodium chloride is used to provide Na + source to optimize ion balance; nano-silica is used to promote gel cross-linking; the dispersant is a polycarboxylic acid dispersant to prevent the agglomeration of the additives; EDTA-polymer derivatives include PAA-EDTA and PEG-EDTA, which serve as polymers to block the bentonite adsorption sites and form a dense structure layer.

[0049] The preparation method of the curing enhancement modification auxiliary agent comprises:

[0050] a1. Dissolve calcium chloride and sodium chloride in deionized water in proportion to prepare a 3~5mol / L mother liquor;

[0051] a2. Add nano-silica to the mother liquor and ultrasonically disperse for 30 min at an ultrasonic frequency of 20 to 40 kHz and an ultrasonic power of 300 W.

[0052] a3. Add EDTA-polymer derivative (PAA-EDTA, PEG-EDTA) to the solution obtained in a2 and stir to mix at a stirring speed of 300 rpm for 1 min.

[0053] a4. Finally, add the polycarboxylic acid dispersant and stir until a homogeneous suspension is obtained. The stirring speed is 500 rpm and the stirring time is 2 h.

[0054] Dosage and usage of curing enhancement modifier:

[0055] Add curing enhancement modification additives according to 1.7~6.7% of the dry mass of bentonite in the waste mud, stir at high speed shearing speed of 1200rpm for 15 minutes, let it stand for 10 minutes, and then add curing agent for curing treatment.

[0056] The curing agent components include slag, cement and water glass. The specific mass ratio of each raw material component is as follows: S95 slag: PO42.5 cement: water glass (modulus 1.2) = 42:38:20.

[0057] Additives, that is, additives used to improve the effect of geopolymer curing agents, are selected based on the clay mineral adsorption mechanism, geopolymer reaction mechanism and experimental results. The experimental results are: CaCl2>NaCl.

[0058] Clay minerals in waste mud first cause agglomeration during the solidification process, which is usually visible in the early stage (a few hours). These clay mineral aggregates will adsorb Si, Al, Na, Ca and the hydrated gel products of the curing agent, affecting the micro-environment of the solidification. Due to their high cation exchange capacity and surface area, the adsorbed Ca 2+ Tends to form CaCO3. In geopolymer solidification, the three-dimensional network polymerization gelation and hydrated gel of silica and aluminum are the main sources of solidified body strength. However, the adsorption of clay minerals reduces the formation of silica-alumina tetrahedrons and Na + / Ca 2+ , resulting in a decrease in strength structure. At the same time, even if a hydrated gel and three-dimensional network structure are formed, their distribution may be uneven, weakening the connection of the strength structure. Therefore, mud with a high clay mineral content usually exhibits lower solidification strength.

[0059] Therefore, this method is based on Na + / Ca 2+ Salt is used as an admixture to pre-treat the waste mud to eliminate / cover the effect of bentonite adsorption on geopolymer curing: Na added by the admixture + / Ca 2+ It will be adsorbed by bentonite first, the adsorption of bentonite is offset, and bentonite tends to adsorb Na + / Ca 2+ ions, which depends on the fact that bentonite itself has a large specific surface area structure, + / Ca 2+ Ions have a greater affinity, these ions can effectively fill the interlayer space of clay minerals and maintain the stability of their layered structure. Therefore, when the geopolymer curing agent is added later, the probability of the ions dissolved from the raw materials and the hydration products generated by the reaction being adsorbed by bentonite will be greatly reduced. In addition, Na + / Ca 2+Chloride is an ion required for geopolymer reaction to form hydrated gel and three-dimensional network structure. The addition of admixtures improves the ion concentration in the mud and also promotes the geopolymer reaction. The reason for choosing chloride salt is that the geopolymer reaction is more sensitive to the concentration of other ions, including but not limited to the influence of other anion concentration on pH, competition with cations such as aluminum and silicon, and thus affecting the polymerization reaction of geopolymer. - Although ions may also participate in the geopolymer reaction, the chlorine-containing and insoluble Friedel and Kuzel salts generated by the reaction can provide strength for the solidified mud and further improve the porosity of the solidified mud.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for enhancing the curing performance of geopolymer of high bentonite content slurry also includes constructing an intelligent real-time detection and control system, and the construction process includes:

[0061] b1. Bentonite characteristic response sensor is set on the pumping path of the mud mixing tank to detect the bentonite content in the mud;

[0062] b2. A multi-modal element sensor is provided at the input and output ports of the mud mixing tank to detect the concentration of a specified ion;

[0063] b3 set curing agent feeding point, additive feeding point, the curing agent feeding point, additive feeding point are docking mud mixing bin, the curing agent feeding point for storing the curing agent, the additive feeding point for storing curing enhancement modification additives;

[0064] b4. Use feedback control software to obtain parameter information of bentonite characteristic response sensors and multimodal element sensors, make real-time predictions of bentonite content and ion concentration, make decisions on the optimal amount of material addition for curing agent and curing enhancement and modification additives, and control the material addition at the curing agent addition point and additive addition point.

[0065] The intelligent real-time detection and control system is regulated based on the additive's function, enabling rapid, high-volume, and time-saving slurry processing. It consists of a hardware identification and detection module and feedback-based control software. The hardware includes a bentonite characteristic response sensor for bentonite content detection and a multimodal ion sensor for real-time ion concentration monitoring. The feedback-based control software analyzes input data based on a large model to adjust additive / curing agent dosage.

[0066] like Figure 2As shown in the figure, the bentonite characteristic response sensor is used to identify and detect the bentonite content in the mud during the mud pumping process, providing data reference for subsequent additive / curing agent adjustment. The bentonite characteristic response sensor includes a CEC rapid measurement unit and an NIR auxiliary identification unit.

[0067] The CEC rapid determination unit has a built-in ammonium ion saturation column and a conductivity detection chamber. The ammonium ion saturation column is filled with a microfluidic exchange column (5mm in diameter, 10cm in length) containing NH4Cl solution (1mol / L). When the mud passes through at a fixed low flow rate, the ammonium ion replacement of the cations between the montmorillonite layers is completed; the conductivity detection chamber uses a multi-electrode array (spacing 2mm) to monitor the conductivity changes of the replacement fluid in real time, and combines the Langmuir adsorption model to calculate the CEC value, which can complete the preliminary detection of bentonite content within minutes.

[0068] NIR auxiliary recognition unit is equipped with 510~530 cm -1 interval and 1070~1090 cm -1 A near-infrared spectrometer with a characteristic wavelength range of 10 nm was used to analyze the Si-O-Al bending vibration peak and Si-O-Si stretching vibration peak of montmorillonite, and a quantitative relationship between the spectral absorbance and the bentonite content was established through a regression algorithm, which was used for auxiliary detection of bentonite content.

[0069] The calculation process of establishing the quantitative relationship between spectral absorbance and bentonite content through regression algorithm includes: data acquisition → spectral preprocessing → characteristic wavelength screening → modeling → prediction.

[0070] Prepare standard samples with known bentonite content, covering the detection range (0-100%). Then use a near-infrared spectrometer to measure the absorbance of each sample within the characteristic peak wavelength range.

[0071] c2. Based on the characteristic peak wavelength range of each sample tested, calculate the correlation coefficient between the corresponding wavelength of each sample and the characteristic peak wavelength of the bentonite standard. Retain wavelengths with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.9, and automatically select and optimize the optimal wavelength combination through intelligent algorithms (such as genetic algorithms).

[0072] c3. Use partial least squares regression (PLSR) to build a regression model, decompose the spectral data (X) and content data (Y) simultaneously, extract the common principal components (latent variables), and use the latent variables to construct a linear equation: predicted content = a × absorbance 1 + b × absorbance 2 + constant, where a and b are 520 cm -1 and 1080cm -1 The contribution weights of the two characteristic wavelengths, absorbance 1 and absorbance 2 correspond to 520cm -1 and 1080cm -1The sum or average of the absorbance values within two characteristic wavelength ranges. To address absorbance saturation in high-concentration bentonite samples in mud, a nonlinear compensation term is added: For the low-concentration range (<25%), the predicted value = the standard PLSR result; for the high-concentration range (>25%), the predicted value = the standard PLSR result + correction factor × ln(absorbance). Coefficients a and b are obtained by fitting the standard sample set using the partial least squares method; the correction factor is determined by nonlinear fitting of high-concentration samples and dynamically adjusted based on environmental parameters.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, modal element sensors are placed at the input and output ports of the mud mixing chamber to detect the concentration of specific ions. Combining and optimizing traditional fluorescence sensing and ion-selective electrode (ISE) technologies, the modal element sensors utilize an ISE-fluorescence dual-mode probe structure to enable simultaneous, rapid, and efficient detection of multiple elements (here, sodium, calcium, silicon, and aluminum). Free sodium and calcium are primarily present in mud as ions, so ISE technology is used for detection. Free silicon and aluminum are primarily present in mud as monomers bound to oxygen atoms, so fluorescence sensing technology is used for detection. By measuring the concentrations of calcium, sodium, silicon, and aluminum, the levels of these elements can be used to reflect the effectiveness of additive control and whether the geopolymer reaction environment has reached optimal conditions.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the modal element sensor includes:

[0075] ISE unit: using all-solid-state Ca 2+ / Na + Dual-channel ion-selective electrode, the electrode membrane material is a perovskite / graphene composite membrane (thickness 50μm), and dual-ion synchronous detection is achieved through microchannel separation.

[0076] Fluorescence unit: integrated dual-wavelength excitation fiber optic sensor laser light source, embedded Al fluorescent probe (based on Lumogallion organic matter) and Si-responsive complex fluorescent probe (based on ammonium molybdate-(NH4)6Mo7O 24 ), the excitation light source wavelengths are 350~380nm and 500~510nm respectively.

[0077] Working principle of ISE unit: slurry is injected from the inlet and divided into two paths through the microchannel, flowing through the Ca 2+ and Na + Sensitive membrane (i.e. electrode membrane) area, each selectively corresponds to Na + and Ca 2+ , and generate membrane potential, and output signals through the conductive layer.

[0078] Ca 2+ Sensitive film: Eu-doped3+ Fluoride perovskite (KCaF3) and graphene composite film, with Ca 2+ Response; Na⁺ sensitive film: doped with Al 3+ NASICON-type perovskite (Na3Zr 1.8 Al 0.2 Si2PO 12 ) and graphene composite membrane, and Na + response.

[0079] The present invention combines fluorescence sensor and ion selective electrode (ISE) technology to monitor the ion concentration in mud in real time, aiming to measure the sodium (Na) in mud efficiently and accurately. + ), calcium (Ca 2+ ), silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al 3+ ) ion concentration, thereby optimizing the geopolymer solidification process and achieving large-scale, standardized solidification treatment of waste mud. The working principle of this method is explained as follows:

[0080] ① Na + and Ca 2+ Ion concentration is measured using a dedicated ion-selective electrode, leveraging the membrane's selective permeability and potential difference. When the electrode is immersed in the sample, the ions interact with the membrane surface, generating a potential difference. This potential difference is linearly related to the ion concentration in the sample, and the ion concentration can be calculated. These two ions exhibit good conductivity and strong ion exchange capacity in aqueous solution, making them suitable for precise measurement using ion-selective electrodes.

[0081] ② Regarding the detection of silicon and aluminum ions, silicon typically exists in a polymerized state, forming silicates, and its concentration as a monomer in water is relatively low, making it difficult to measure directly using traditional ion-selective electrodes. The measurement of aluminum ions is affected by its complex behavior in acidic water and is also unsuitable for standard ion-selective electrodes. Therefore, fluorescence sensor technology is used. Fluorescent probes bind to Si and Al ions in the sample, generating a fluorescence signal of a specific wavelength. By irradiating the sample with an excitation light source, the fluorescent probe is excited, and the intensity of the fluorescence signal is proportional to the ion concentration. The detector measures the fluorescence intensity in real time and converts it to the corresponding ion concentration using a standard curve.

[0082] ③Finally, the intelligent control system combines real-time data from the ion-selective electrode and fluorescence sensor for comprehensive analysis and feedback. Based on the set optimal reaction conditions, the system dynamically adjusts the ion concentration in the mud to ensure optimal results during the geopolymer curing process.

[0083] like Figure 1As shown, the feedback control software primarily consists of an improved BP neural network concentration prediction model and a multimodal dynamic compensation algorithm. The improved BP neural network concentration prediction model uses a large database to predict bentonite content and ion concentration in real time using various parameters (ISE, fluorescence intensity, pH, CEC, flow rate, etc.) input by sensors or manual input, thereby making decisions on the optimal material dosage. The multimodal dynamic compensation algorithm primarily compensates for sensor drift (ISE potential compensation, fluorescence signal attenuation correction) and inter-ion interference, correcting the concentration prediction model's decisions.

[0084] The large database is a summary of data obtained through tests on a large number of experimental groups, including bentonite content (characterization methods include X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), calcium, sodium, silicon, and aluminum ion concentrations, pH value, CEC, curing agent dosage, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and mud moisture content.

[0085] Decisions on the optimal amount of material to be delivered are made by feeding real-time monitoring data into a trained model. The model analyzes the reaction environment based on the training data and ultimately provides feedback and control. Each data detected in the model is assigned an influence weight.

[0086] Sensor drift compensation: Based on the law of sensor drift, mathematical models (such as linear regression, curve fitting, etc.) are used to estimate and correct drift.

[0087] Inter-ion interference compensation: Through extensive testing, the rules of mutual interference are derived, forming a linear regression model, which is then corrected. The microchannel separation and specialized membrane structure within the ISE unit also serve as anti-interference measures.

[0088] The improved BP neural network concentration prediction model builds on the traditional BP framework by integrating deep learning optimization techniques with domain knowledge embedded training. The improvements include: 1) Network structure optimization, employing a dual-hidden layer design. The first hidden layer captures global features, while the second layer extracts high-order nonlinear relationships, suppressing noise through gradual dimensionality reduction. 2) Regularization strategy upgrades, randomly discarding entire neuron connection paths with a probability of p=0.3 to force the network to learn redundant features. 3) Dynamic training mechanism, collecting new data every 30 minutes and calculating the distribution difference between the new and old data. If the threshold θ=0.1 is reached, parameter fine-tuning is triggered, freezing the first two layers and updating only the last two layers.

[0089] The calculation process of the multimodal dynamic compensation algorithm is: simultaneous extraction of multimodal features → cross-interference modeling → online weight allocation → dynamic compensation correction → confidence feedback update.

[0090] The following examples are given to illustrate the application of this method.

[0091] Example 1:

[0092] Curing experiments were conducted using waste slurry from slurry shield tunneling (13% bentonite dry matter content) and drilling mud (25% bentonite dry matter content) from engineering projects. The curing agent dosage was 20% of the dry mass of the mud in each case. A curing enhancement modifier was added before curing, with a gradient of 1.7% to 6.7% addition. The CP group was the group without the curing enhancement modifier. The curing enhancement modifier used consisted of the following raw materials in the following mass percentages: calcium chloride 70%, sodium chloride 14.5%, nano-silica 10%, dispersant 5%, and EDTA-polymer derivative 0.5%.

[0093] Under standard curing conditions, the unconfined compressive strength of the solidified body was tested at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The left picture in the middle corresponds to shield mud, and the right picture corresponds to drilling mud. Figure 4 The dosage of the medium additive is 1.7%, 3.4%, 5% and 6.7% respectively.

[0094] Shield slurry group: The best effect was achieved when the modifier content was 3.4% of the dry mass of bentonite, and the 28-day curing strength increased to 315.1% of the original strength (164.5kPa → 518.3kPa).

[0095] Drilling mud group: The best effect was achieved when the modifier dosage was 3.4% of the dry mass of bentonite, and the 28-day curing strength increased to 183.1% of the original (160.1kPa→293.2kPa).

[0096] Example 2:

[0097] Curing experiments were conducted using waste slurry from slurry shield tunneling (13% bentonite dry matter content) and drilling mud (25% bentonite dry matter content) from engineering projects. The curing agent dosage was 20% of the dry mass of the mud in each case. A curing enhancement modifier was added before curing, with a gradient of 1.7% to 6.7% addition.

Figure 5 The dosage of the medium additive is 1.7%, 3.4%, 5% and 6.7% respectively.

[0099] Shield slurry group: The best effect was achieved when the modifier content was 3.4% of the dry mass of bentonite, and the 28-day curing strength increased to 346.5% of the original (164.5kPa→570kPa).

[0100] Drilling mud group: The best effect was achieved when the modifier dosage was 5.0% of the dry mass of bentonite, and the 28-day curing strength increased to 284.3% of the original (160.1kPa→455.1kPa).

[0101] Example 3:

[0102] Curing experiments were conducted using waste slurry from slurry shield tunneling (13% bentonite dry matter content) and drilling mud (25% bentonite dry matter content) from engineering projects. The curing agent dosage was 20% of the dry mass of the mud in each case. A curing enhancement modifier was added before curing, with a gradient of 1.7% to 6.7% addition. The CP group was the group without the curing enhancement modifier. The curing enhancement modifier used consisted of the following raw materials in the following mass percentages: 80% calcium chloride, 10% sodium chloride, 15% nano-silica, 7% dispersant, and 3% EDTA-polymer derivative.

[0103] Under standard curing conditions, the unconfined compressive strength of the solidified body was tested at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The left picture in the middle corresponds to shield mud, and the right picture corresponds to drilling mud. Figure 6 The dosage of the medium additive is 1.7%, 3.4%, 5% and 6.7% respectively.

[0104] Shield slurry group: The best effect was achieved when the modifier content was 3.4% of the dry mass of bentonite, and the 28-day curing strength increased to 201.0% of the original strength (164.5kPa→330.6kPa).

[0105] Drilling mud group: The best effect was achieved when the modifier dosage was 3.4% of the dry mass of bentonite, and the 28-day curing strength increased to 117.6% of the original (160.1kPa→188.2kPa).

[0106] In the above embodiments, the dispersant and EDTA-polymer derivative should be used in small and appropriate amounts, otherwise the effect of the curing agent will be affected.

[0107] This method can effectively eliminate the negative effects of bentonite in geopolymer reactions, increase the strength of solidified slurries, and improve the efficiency of solid waste resource recovery. Within the optimal dosage range, the maximum strength can be increased by 250% to 320%. Although the solidification effect of different slurries may vary significantly, the strength improvement is indeed significant and is also very effective in eliminating the effect of bentonite in geopolymer reactions.

[0108] On the basis of using additives to solidify and modify the waste mud, combined with the intelligent real-time detection and control system, real-time and efficient control of solidification is achieved, effectively solving the problem of different solidification effects of multi-source mud. The specific comparison with traditional methods is shown in the following table:
