Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building materials, in particular to a high-content steel slag-cement-bentonite vertical anti-seepage wall material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, as the scale of infrastructure construction in my country continues to expand, the consumption of cement, a traditional cementitious material, has risen sharply. However, a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions are generated during the production of cement, accounting for about one-third of the national total, and has become a core problem restricting the green and low-carbon transformation of the industry. At the same time, the steel industry produces a huge amount of solid waste, among which steel slag, as the main by-product of the steelmaking process, has an annual output of more than 160 million tons, but its comprehensive utilization rate has been below 30% for a long time. Steel slag includes various oxides formed by the oxidation of impurities such as silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur in pig iron during the smelting process, as well as salts generated by the reaction of these oxide solvents. The open-air storage of large amounts of steel slag not only encroaches on land resources, but also the heavy metals and alkaline substances it contains are more likely to pollute the soil and groundwater through rainwater leaching, posing serious environmental risks.
[0003] At present, cement-bentonite anti-seepage walls are widely used in dam foundation curtains, mixing piles, stone dam anti-seepage systems, landfills and other projects because of their anti-seepage performance and structural strength. However, existing technologies generally rely on a high proportion of cement as a cementing component, resulting in high material costs and significant carbon footprints. In order to reduce the amount of cement used, some studies have tried to use industrial waste residues such as fly ash and slag as a substitute. However, there is still a lack of systematic exploration of the gelling activity of steel slag, which has a lower cost, and its application in anti-seepage systems. Although steel slag contains potentially active minerals such as dicalcium silicate and dicalcium ferrite, its composition fluctuates greatly, its hydration activity is low, and its alkalinity range is wide. As a result, when it directly replaces cement, it is easy to cause problems such as material strength degradation and unstable permeability coefficient, making it difficult to meet the long-term service requirements of anti-seepage walls.
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical phenomena, the design of traditional anti-seepage materials often ignores the coordinated optimization of steel slag dosage, bentonite ratio and water-cement ratio, which makes it difficult to balance material performance and environmental benefits. Therefore, how to achieve high-dosage replacement of cement with steel slag through precise mix design while ensuring that the material permeability, fluidity and durability meet engineering requirements is still a technical bottleneck that needs to be broken through in this field. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-content steel slag-cement-bentonite vertical anti-seepage wall material and a preparation method thereof, aiming to solve the dual problems of steel slag resource utilization and anti-seepage material performance improvement by designing the ratio between steel slag, cement and bentonite.

[0020] Preferably, in the three-layer mixed slurry in step S3, the height of each layer of slurry is the same, and it needs to be vibrated multiple times during the pouring process of each layer of concrete slurry.
[0021] Preferably, the temperature of the curing box in step S4 is 18-22°C and the relative humidity is 98%.
