Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ecological concrete, in particular to an alkali-reducing reagent suitable for ecological concrete and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a new building material, eco-concrete not only provides engineering protection but also provides space for plant growth, achieving the goals of ecological restoration and environmental beautification. However, during the preparation and use of eco-concrete, the hydration of cement releases a large amount of alkaline substances, causing the pH value within the concrete to increase. This excessively alkaline environment is extremely detrimental to plant growth, severely restricting the effectiveness of eco-concrete in actual engineering applications.
[0003] At present, there are some solutions to the high alkalinity problem of ecological concrete. For example, the carbonization method is used to react carbon dioxide with alkaline substances such as calcium hydroxide in cement hydration products to reduce the alkalinity of concrete. However, this method requires special carbonization equipment, and the carbonization process is time-consuming and energy-intensive, making it unsuitable for large-scale production and practical engineering applications. For another example, some acidic substances or mineral admixtures are added to concrete to neutralize the alkalinity, but these methods may have a certain negative impact on the strength and durability of concrete, or the alkali reduction effect is not long-lasting. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop an alkali reduction agent and preparation method that is efficient, long-lasting, and has no adverse effects on concrete performance.

[0127] Test example:
[0128] The alkali-reducing agents prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were used in concrete production. The concrete formulation included PS-A32.5 ordinary Portland cement with a dry density of 3.10 g / cm³; single, continuously graded stone with a particle size of 5-10 mm as the coarse aggregate; and water. The alkali-reducing agent was added in an amount of 5% of the total concrete mass. The test results are shown in the table below.
