Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of comprehensive utilization of solid waste and building materials, and particularly to a gelling material for non-pressure-steamed pipe piles and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] PHC pipe piles have obvious advantages compared with other pipe piles, such as high single-pile bearing capacity, reliable pile driving quality, wide application range, and indirect economic benefits, etc., and are widely used in the construction field. In recent years, with the implementation of the national strategies for promoting environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, not only better quality and strength of PHC pipe piles are required, but also more stringent energy conservation, environmental protection requirements are put forward for PHC pipe piles.

[0003] Nowadays, most PHC pipe pile production enterprises carry out normal-pressure steam curing through a steam pool at about 90 °C, and then carry out high-temperature and high-pressure secondary curing in an autoclave under the conditions of 180 °C and 1 MPa. However, this process has some problems. For example, during the normal-pressure steam curing process, too rapid temperature change will cause cracks in the pile body of PHC pipe piles, thereby reducing the strength of PHC pipe piles. The autoclave consumes a large amount of resources and causes environmental pollution. In addition, the maintenance cost and investment cost required by the autoclave are relatively high.

[0004] In recent years, a large number of studies have been carried out on the non-steam-curing and non-pressure-steaming production technologies of PHC pipe piles at home and abroad. Compared with the traditional high-pressure autoclave technology, the non-high-pressure autoclave production technology can improve the chloride ion penetration resistance, frost resistance and anti-hammering performance of pile concrete, which is beneficial to the construction of the hammer-driven pile sinking method for prestressed high-strength concrete pipe piles. At the same time, the non-high-pressure autoclave production process is also beneficial to reducing the pile-making cost, promoting environmental protection and saving resources. At present, the non-pressure-steaming production process of PHC pipe piles mainly focuses on preferentially selecting raw materials and incorporating admixtures such as fly ash microspheres or silica fume powder. However, this production process still requires a large amount of high-grade cement to be used, with limited carbon reduction effect and high cost. Therefore, pipe pile production enterprises are in urgent need of a new type of low-cost gelling material that can minimize the use of high-grade cement and has good early strength. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the technical defects mentioned in the background art, the purpose of the present invention is: one is to provide a gelling material for non-pressure-steamed pipe piles, and the other is to provide a preparation method of this gelling material, so as to improve the early strength of the pipe piles, reduce the shrinkage of pile concrete, omit the autoclave curing process to reduce costs, reduce the use of high-grade cement, and achieve the best carbon reduction effect.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions: A cementitious material for non-steam-cured pipe piles, and the components of the cementitious material are respectively in mass percentages: 45%-75% of blast furnace granulated slag, 5%-20% of first-class fly ash, 5%-12% of ferrosilicon dust removal ash, and 15%-35% of early strength agent.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution: The raw materials of the early strength agent and their mass percentages are: 17% of aluminum ash, 16% of anhydrous sodium sulfate, 22% of coal gangue, 24% of desulfurization ash, 10% of carbide slag, and 11% of iron tailings.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution: In the early strength agent: the mass percentage of Al2O3 in the aluminum ash ≥ 68%; the mass percentage of Na2SO4 in the anhydrous sodium sulfate ≥ 89%; the mass percentage of CaO in the desulfurization ash ≥ 65%.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution: The mass percentage of CaO and SiO2 in the blast furnace granulated slag ≥ 82%.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution: The mass percentage of Al2O3 and SiO2 in the first-class fly ash ≥ 78%.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution: The mass percentage of SiO2 in the ferrosilicon dust removal ash ≥ 90%.

[0012] A preparation method of the cementitious material for non-steam-cured pipe piles as described in any one of claims 1-6, and the specific preparation steps are as follows: Step S1. Mix each component in the early strength agent and put it into a kiln, calcine it in a high-temperature environment of 1300°C - 1350°C for 30 - 45 minutes, and grind the obtained massive early strength agent after calcination until the specific surface area ≥ 480m 2 / kg; Step S2. Grind the blast furnace granulated slag and the first-class fly ash respectively, and the specific surface areas of the two materials after grinding are both ≥ 600m 2 / kg to obtain granulated slag micro powder and fly ash, and set aside; Step S3. Mix the early strength agent obtained in Step S1, the granulated slag micro powder, fly ash and ferrosilicon dust removal ash obtained in Step S2 in proportion and mix them evenly to make a cementitious material for non-steam-cured pipe piles.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. First, the present invention uses various difficult-to-utilize industrial solid wastes such as aluminum ash, sodium sulfate, coal gangue, desulfurized ash, carbide slag, and iron tailings to prepare an early strength agent. The mineral composition of the calcined early strength agent is similar to that of sulfoaluminate cement clinker, which can fully stimulate the early activity of granulated blast furnace slag powder. Therefore, in terms of technical principle, this technology can enable enterprises to reduce the use of high-grade cement in pipe pile concrete while still generating stable hydration products such as calcium silicate hydrate gel and ettringite. The quantity of beneficial hydration products generated by the hydration of granulated blast furnace slag powder is higher than that generated by the hydration of the same amount of cement. In addition, the hydration products of the cementitious system of the present invention are different from those of the cement system. The generated hydration products do not contain a large amount of Ca(OH)2 crystals and are not easily corroded and damaged by external soft water, acids, alkalis, salts, etc., thus enabling the pipe pile concrete to have better durability. The unhydrated fine powder particles aggregate between the aggregate and the slurry, acting as a micro-aggregate, which can improve the state of the weak transition zone between the aggregate and the cementitious material, thereby increasing the early strength of the autoclave-free pipe pile and ensuring its later strength growth.

[0014] 2. The present invention provides a cementitious material for autoclave-free pipe piles for preparing PHC pipe pile concrete. During the production process of PHC pipe piles, the substitution rate of high-grade cement can reach 40%-60%, which can achieve a significant carbon reduction effect and is beneficial to the low-carbon development of enterprises. At the same time, the cementitious system in the present invention can fully exert the activity of granulated blast furnace slag powder, ensuring the early strength of the pipe pile, having low heat of hydration, small shrinkage and being not easy to crack, eliminating the autoclave curing process, greatly reducing the production cost of enterprises, and realizing the high-quality development of enterprises.
