Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a detection technology for the carbonation reaction mechanism of low-carbon cement-based materials, and particularly to a carbonation curing system and method for cement-based materials capable of real-time monitoring of heat release. Background Art

[0002] As an advanced technology that can improve the comprehensive performance of cement-based materials and achieve CO2 sequestration, the carbonation curing technology has received increasing attention in recent years. Cement-based materials are widely used in construction projects, and their structure and durability are directly related to the project quality. Carbonation curing utilizes the reaction of CO2 with active components in the material (such as calcium hydroxide and some hydration products) to form calcium carbonate and other carbonates. In this process, since the carbonation reaction itself is an exothermic reaction, the change in the heat release can truly reflect the reaction rate and activity, and also provides key data support for in-depth understanding of the reaction mechanism. In addition, the measurement results of the heat release can also establish a certain correlation with the final properties of the material (such as compressive strength, impermeability performance, etc.), which provides an effective means for real-time monitoring and early warning of project quality. Generally speaking, measuring the heat release of cement-based materials during carbonation curing not only helps to reveal the basic laws and internal mechanisms of the reaction, but also provides strong data support for optimizing curing conditions, improving project quality, and achieving the goals of low-carbon environmental protection. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple and convenient carbonation reaction heat release measurement device, so as to provide more scientific and reliable technical guidance for the application of carbonation-cured cement-based materials in practical projects, and promote the development of the building materials field towards the direction of energy conservation, environmental protection, and intelligent development.

[0003] Currently, there are also some technologies in the prior art for measuring the degree of carbonation reaction of cement-based materials. For example, a cement-based material carbonation test device and test method disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 201910497411.9 include a carbonation chamber and a CO2 generating device connected to the carbonation chamber. The CO2 generating device generates CO2 gas and introduces it into the carbonation chamber. The carbonation chamber is a sealable chamber structure that can be opened, with a baffle in the middle for placing cement-based material specimens. There is liquid at the bottom of the carbonation chamber, and an air inlet and an air outlet are provided at the top of the carbonation chamber. A CO2 concentration detector and a hygrometer are also provided inside the carbonation chamber.

[0004] Patent CN103713023A discloses a method for testing the carbonation depth of cement-based materials. Impedance spectroscopy tests are performed on hardened cement material specimens after pre-carbonation to obtain impedance spectrograms. The impedance spectrograms are fitted using the electrochemical circuit model of the cement material to obtain electrochemical parameters. Then, the actual carbonation depth of the cement material is measured, and a functional relationship is established between the electrochemical parameters and the actual carbonation depth. Finally, the carbonation depth of the later stage of the cement is calculated by calculating the electrochemical parameters. However, in this method, traditional carbonation test chambers are used for carbonation, and there are still problems such as low resource utilization rate and high economic cost.

[0005] Chinese Patent 200910191152.3 discloses a test device and method for the carbonation resistance performance of cement-based materials. The device of this invention mainly includes a separating funnel, a reaction flask, a magnetic stirrer, etc. in the reaction part, a buffer flask, a thermometer, a glass three-way joint, etc. in the buffer part, and a gas measuring tube composed of a measuring tube, a balance tube, and a drain pipe in the gas collection and measurement part, which are connected by rubber tubes. The method of this invention is to use the device of this invention to complete the test of the carbonation resistance performance of cement-based materials through the preparation of neat paste specimens, accelerated carbonation and slicing treatment, determination of carbonate content, data processing, and result analysis.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned existing technologies mostly focus on the later evaluation of carbonation depth, chemical composition (such as the content of Ca(OH)2), or carbonation resistance performance. Although these detection methods can indirectly reflect the carbonation process, none of them can measure the heat released during the carbonation reaction in real time and continuously. Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out the research and development of the real-time measurement technology for the heat release of cement-based materials during the carbonation curing process.

[0053] Step 3: Connect the CO2 gas cylinder 1 to the carbonation reaction housing 15.

[0054] Step 4: Ensure that the test device is in an environment of 25°C. Turn on the signal acquisition and analysis system 24 and the computer 25, start the data acquisition and analysis program, open the CO2 gas cylinder 1, adjust the gas pressure to the target pressure of 0.2 Mpa through the flow adjustment knob 6 on the gas pressure reducing valve 5, record the change law of the temperature of the cement-based specimen 17 over time through the computer 25, and the computer 25 processes the change law of the temperature over time, and real-time plots the temperature change curve and the cumulative heat release of the cement-based material during the carbonation curing process.

[0055] As Figure 3 shown in the test results after 6 hours of carbonation curing. It can be seen from the figure that when CO2 is input into the carbonation reaction cavity, the initial temperature of the cement-based specimen 17 will rise briefly. On the one hand, this is due to the work done by pumping CO2, which is also illustrated by the temperature rise of the reference sample 18. On the other hand, it is the reaction heat generated by the violent reaction of the hydration products with CO2. When the CO2 pressure reaches and is maintained at 0.2 MPa, both the cement-based specimen 17 and the reference sample 18 undergo temperature changes: the heat exchange between the cement-based specimen 17 and the reference sample 18 and the environment, and the carbonation exothermic reaction of the calcium silicate sample (i.e., the cement-based specimen 7), where the heat exchange with the environment can be reflected by the temperature drop of the reference sample 18. And the finally measured temperature is the superposition effect of these two processes. To better illustrate the carbonation reaction activity of the calcium silicate material, the temperature change caused by the actual carbonation reaction heat release can be calculated by subtracting the temperature change of the reference sample 18, as Figure 4 shown. It can be found from Figure 4 that the carbonation reaction process is mainly divided into two stages: the A-B section, the carbonation reaction acceleration period, where the hydration products in the cement-based material have a high carbonation reaction activity and immediately undergo a rapid reaction when contacting CO2, releasing a large amount of heat and showing the first strong exothermic peak. The reaction time in this stage is extremely short; the B-C section, the carbonation deceleration period, where the reaction rate rapidly decreases with the increase of time, a large amount of reaction products are generated, and the carbonation reaction is gradually controlled by diffusion.

[0056] In the present invention, the design of the reference sample 18 is to detect the heat release of the sample temperature caused by inevitable environmental changes (such as the heat generated by the work of pressurizing CO2 when pumping CO2 into the pressure vessel instantaneously). During the data processing process, the heat release of the cement is subtracted from the heat release of the reference sample 18 to obtain the actual heat release.
