Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building materials, in particular to a concrete admixture and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Shotcrete is widely used in underground engineering and reinforcement engineering due to its high construction efficiency and adaptability to complex structural surfaces.

[0003] However, the traditional shotcrete has the following defects: slow early strength development, difficult to meet the rapid bearing demand; high rebound rate, usually 15%-25%, causing material waste and environmental pollution; insufficient durability, easily eroded by the environment.

[0004] Although the existing admixtures can partially improve the performance, they still have problems such as the contradiction between rapid setting and strength development, poor adaptability to cement, etc. For example, the alkali rapid setting agent can cause strength reduction, and the non-alkali rapid setting agent has high cost and limited adaptability. Therefore, it is of great value to develop a shotcrete admixture with rapid setting, low rebound, and high durability. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a concrete admixture, which realizes rapid setting, low rebound rate, and improvement of compressive strength and impermeability grade of concrete through optimization of component design and synergistic effect between components. The present application also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned concrete admixture.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purposes, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a concrete admixture, which is composed of the following raw materials by weight: polycarboxylate superplasticizer 30-40 parts, sulphoaluminate cement clinker 20-25 parts, sodium silicate 15-20 parts, N-methyl ethanolamine 8-12 parts, nano-silicon dioxide 5-8 parts, retarder 2-4 parts, and hyaluronic acid 0.01-0.05 parts.

[0007] The polycarboxylate superplasticizer of the present application is adsorbed on the surface of cement particles through steric hindrance effect, forms electrostatic repulsion, disperses cement agglomerates, releases free water, and reduces water consumption. The water retention effect of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer and hyaluronic acid is combined to inhibit the loss of slump in high temperature environment. Hyaluronic acid adsorbs free water to form a three-dimensional network, reduces the rebound of shotcrete. The hydroxyl or carboxyl group is combined with the hydrogen bond of cement particles to reduce the friction between aggregate and paste and improve the workability. The combination with polycarboxylate superplasticizer inhibits the loss of slump in high temperature. At the same time, it cooperates with nano-silicon dioxide to improve the interface of recycled aggregate and improve the compactness. It realizes the four-in-one performance improvement of water retention, early strength, compactness, and durability, and is especially suitable for high requirement scenes such as shotcrete and recycled aggregate concrete, with significant technical and economic benefits.

[0008] The secondary amine group in the N-methylethanolamine selectively accelerates the nucleation and growth of ettringite in the sulphate clinker, shortens the setting induction period, improves the early strength, delays the excessive reaction of the silicate phase, and reduces the temperature stress; the primary hydroxyl group bonds with the silanol group on the surface of the nano-silicon dioxide, and the steric hindrance effect of the methyl group significantly improves the dispersion stability of the nano-particles, reduces the porosity by 8-12%, increases the 28d strength by 5-8%, and reduces the chloride ion permeability by 35%; the short-chain methyl group has weak hydrophobicity, accurately controls the air content at ≤3.5%, forms fine and uniform bubbles, and improves the freeze-thaw resistance by 30%. The weak alkalinity maintains the ionization balance of the polycarboxylic acid molecules, enhances the adsorption of the polycarboxylic acid molecules on the cement particles, and reduces the time loss of fluidity by 40%. The concrete compactness, durability and volume stability are significantly improved under the premise of ensuring the early strength, and the concrete is suitable for harsh environments such as high frost resistance and marine engineering.

[0009] Optionally, the hyaluronic acid is prepared by a microbial fermentation method, has a purity of ≥95%, and is dissolved in deionized water in advance to form a 1% glue solution. The 1% glue solution formed by dissolving the hyaluronic acid in deionized water in advance has a fully stretched molecular chain, and further enhances the water retention and thickening properties. In the sprayed concrete, the feature can significantly reduce the rebound rate.

[0010] Optionally, the nano-silicon dioxide is modified by a KH-550 silane coupling agent, and the amount of the silane coupling agent is 1.5-2%.

[0011] After the siloxane group of the KH-550 is hydrolyzed and bonded with the surface of the nano-SiO2, the amino group of the KH-550 is directionally adsorbed on the cement particles to form a "mineral-nano bridge", so that the porosity of the cement slurry is reduced by 12-15%; the [SiO4] 4 ⁻ generated by sodium silicate in an alkaline environment is crosslinked with the siloxane network of the KH-550 to form a rapid ion channel, promotes the diffusion of OH⁻, and increases the hydration degree of the sulphate-silicate composite system by 30%; the hydrophobic alkyl chain (-C3H6-) of the modified nano-SiO2 is entangled with the side chain of the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent to enhance the steric hindrance effect, and the 2h fluidity loss rate of the slurry is ≤5%.

[0012] The application further provides a preparation method of the concrete admixture, which comprises the following steps:

[0013] S101: premixing: dispersing the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent and the nano-silicon dioxide at a high speed for 25-30 min at 60-65 DEG C to form a uniform slurry;

[0014] S102: compounding: sequentially adding sodium silicate and N-methylethanolamine into the uniform slurry, and stirring at 80-85 DEG C for 45-60 min;

[0015] S103: adding sulphate cement clinker, and continuing to stir for 15 min;

[0016] S104: Adjusting: cool the mixture to 40-45℃, adjust the pH to 9-10 with 30% sodium hydroxide solution, add a retarder and 0.1-0.2% isothiazolinone bactericide;

[0017] S105: Incorporating hyaluronic acid: slowly inject 1% hyaluronic acid gel into the mixture, and simultaneously ultrasonic treatment;

[0018] S106: Add a retarder and 0.1-0.2% bactericide, and homogenize for 10 min;

[0019] S107: Pass through a 300-mesh sieve and package in a light-proof stainless steel container.

[0020] Slowly inject 1% hyaluronic acid gel and simultaneously ultrasonic treatment; the hyaluronic acid molecular chain is fully stretched to form a three-dimensional water-retaining network, adsorbing free water and wrapping nano-silicon dioxide particles to reduce agglomeration; at the same time, the hydroxyl / carboxyl groups of hyaluronic acid form hydrogen bonds with cement particles, reducing the friction between aggregates and paste and improving workability. Again, adding a retarder to balance the hydration rate to meet construction needs; passing through a 300-mesh sieve to remove undispersed particles to ensure uniformity of the admixture, and finally packaging in a light-proof container to prevent hyaluronic acid from decomposing when exposed to light.

[0021] Optionally, the above-mentioned hyaluronic acid gel needs to be added in an environment below 25°C to avoid high-temperature degradation.

[0022] In the S105 step, after the mixture is cooled to below 25°C, 1% hyaluronic acid gel is injected, and simultaneous ultrasonic treatment is used to promote dispersion. This low-temperature environment effectively avoids the molecular chain rupture and degradation of hyaluronic acid at high temperatures, ensuring the complete formation of its three-dimensional water-retaining network. The carboxyl and hydroxyl groups of hyaluronic acid remain highly active at low temperatures, allowing them to fully adsorb free water and wrap nano-silicon dioxide particles, forming a stable "hyaluronic acid-nano SiO2" composite structure and reducing agglomeration. The rebound rate of sprayed concrete is ≤7.2%, the fluidity meets the self-leveling requirements, the 1d strength is ≥28MPa, and the 28d strength is ≥58.3MPa. The impermeability rating is ≥P14, the damage rate after 300 freeze-thaw cycles is ≤2%, and the resistance to chloride ion penetration is significantly improved. Supports 20-50% replacement of recycled aggregates, with a strength increase of 37%, meeting the requirements of green building materials.

[0023] Optionally, 0.5-1.2 parts of triethanolamine are also selectively added in step S102, and only when the ambient temperature is ≥10°C.

[0024] The early strength effect of the above-mentioned triethanolamine is closely related to temperature. When the ambient temperature is ≥10℃, the molecular activity of triethanolamine is significantly improved, and it plays a role through the following mechanism: the amino group of triethanolamine forms a stable complex with calcium ions and trivalent iron ions in cement, accelerating the hydration reaction of aluminate and silicate. Combined with the ettringite generated by the hydration of sulphoaluminate cement clinker, it quickly forms a skeleton structure, shortens the induction period, and controls the initial setting time within 5 minutes, and increases the 1d compressive strength by 15-20%. When the ambient temperature is <10℃, the molecular motion of triethanolamine slows down, the complexing efficiency decreases, and the workability of concrete may decrease due to excessive early strength, such as decreased fluidity and increased rebound rate. Therefore, it is only added when the temperature is ≥10℃ to balance early strength and construction adaptability.

[0025] Optionally, the setting retarder in step S106 is molasses, and the dosage is adjusted according to the ambient temperature:

[0026] When the temperature is >30℃, the dosage of molasses is reduced to 2-2.5 parts;

[0027] When the temperature is <10℃, the dosage of molasses is increased to 3.5-4 parts.

[0028] The polysaccharides in the above-mentioned molasses are adsorbed on the surface of cement particles through hydroxyl groups, forming a physical barrier to inhibit the dissolution of calcium ions and the hydration reaction of C3A and C3S, thereby delaying the setting time.

[0029] In the high-temperature temperature range where the temperature is >30℃, the hydration reaction is accelerated, and the molecular activity of molasses is improved, but excessive retardation will result in excessively long initial setting time. Therefore, the dosage is reduced to 2-2.5 parts to balance fast hardening and construction requirements. In a 30-35℃ environment, a dosage of 2-2.5 parts of molasses ensures that the initial setting time is ≤10 minutes, the 1d strength is ≥32MPa, and the rebound rate is ≤7.2%, meeting the rapid construction requirements.

[0030] When the temperature is <10℃, the hydration reaction slows down, and the adsorption efficiency of molasses decreases, so the dosage needs to be increased to 3.5-4 parts to maintain sufficient retarding effect and prevent premature hardening of concrete. In a 5-10℃ environment, a dosage of 3.5-4 parts of molasses extends the operable time to 90 minutes, avoiding freezing or uneven hardening of concrete, and the 28d strength of recycled aggregate concrete is increased by 37%.

[0031] Optionally, the above-mentioned finished product is stored in an environment with a humidity of ≤60% and a storage period of ≤6 months.

[0032] The above storage environment humidity ≤60% can effectively inhibit the hygroscopic degradation of hyaluronic acid. The carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in the molecular chain of hyaluronic acid are easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which will cause the molecular chain to break and the viscosity to decrease, and then lose the water retention capacity. By controlling the humidity, the three-dimensional network structure of hyaluronic acid can be completely preserved. The stainless steel container can prevent the decomposition of hyaluronic acid under light, avoid its degradation into small molecular fragments, and ensure the integrity of the water retention network.

[0033] During storage, the fungicide continuously inhibits the reproduction of microorganisms. Microorganisms can secrete enzymes to decompose the glycosidic bond of hyaluronic acid, resulting in a decrease in molecular weight and loss of function. By controlling humidity and adding 0.1-0.2% fungicide, the biological stability of hyaluronic acid is double guaranteed, and the storage period is extended to 6 months.

[0034] Optionally, the above additive is suitable for recycled aggregate concrete, and the recycled aggregate needs to be pretreated as follows:

[0035] S201: cleaning to remove surface impurities;

[0036] S202: spraying a nano-silicon dioxide water dispersion solution with a mass fraction of 5% on the surface of the aggregate;

[0037] S203: drying the aggregate to a water content ≤5%.

[0038] The pretreated and sprayed nano-SiO2 and the nano-SiO2 in the additive together fill the pores of the aggregate and the paste, forming a "aggregate-paste" double dense structure, improving the early strength and density. The pozzolanic reaction of nano-SiO2 and the fast hardening characteristics of sulphoaluminate cement clinker are synergistic, and the skeleton structure can be quickly formed in high or low temperature environment. Hyaluronic acid forms a three-dimensional gel network in a low humidity environment, adsorbs free water and wraps nano-particles, reducing concrete drying shrinkage and crack generation. The low water absorption of pretreated aggregate combined with the water retention effect of hyaluronic acid maintains the fluidity of concrete, and the rebound rate is controlled at ≤7.2%. The retarder adjusts the dosage according to the environmental temperature, accurately controls the hydration rate, and avoids the rapid hardening of pretreated aggregate due to low water content. N-methyl ethanolamine accelerates the hydration of C3S and C3A by complexing calcium ions, and cooperates with sulphoaluminate cement clinker to achieve "early strength-dense" dual effect.

[0039] Optionally, the above recycled aggregate has a replacement rate of 20-50% in concrete, and is compounded with 10-15% fly ash.

[0040] Firstly, remove surface impurities, reduce fine particle content, and improve aggregate cleanliness. Spray 5% nano-SiO2 water dispersion: nano-particles penetrate aggregate micro-cracks and pores, forming a dense filling layer, strengthening the interface transition zone; at the same time, the pozzolanic activity of nano-SiO2 is activated, reacting with the subsequent cement hydration product Ca(OH)2 to form C-S-H gel, further improving the aggregate-paste bonding strength. Avoid introducing too much free water to ensure that the retarder and N-methyl ethanolamine in the admixture effectively regulate the hydration rate.

[0041] Fly ash particles fill the concrete pores, forming a "nano-micron" dual filling system with nano-SiO2 to improve density. SiO2 and Al2O3 in fly ash react with Ca(OH)2 to form C-S-H gel in an alkaline environment, making up for the strength loss of recycled aggregate. The inert ingredients of fly ash adsorb polycarboxylate superplasticizer, which needs to be accelerated by N-methyl ethanolamine in the admixture to balance the fast hardening and compactness requirements.

[0042] Advantages:

[0043] 1. Through the optimized proportioning and synergistic effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizer, sulphoaluminate cement clinker, sodium silicate, N-methyl ethanolamine, modified nano-silicon dioxide, retarder, and hyaluronic acid, the comprehensive performance of concrete is significantly improved.

[0044] 2. N-methyl ethanolamine and sulphoaluminate cement clinker synergistically promote the rapid hydration of aluminate and silicate phases, forming a ettringite framework, achieving an initial setting time of ≤5 min and a 1d compressive strength of ≥28 MPa.

[0045] 3. The three-dimensional water-retaining network formed by hyaluronic acid effectively adsorbs free water, combined with the dispersion effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizer and the lubricating effect of N-methyl ethanolamine, significantly reduces the rebound rate of shotcrete to ≤7.2%. High density combined with the water-retaining effect of hyaluronic acid gives the concrete excellent impermeability and resistance to chloride ion penetration. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0108] The other technical features remain unchanged from Example 2, and the molasses content is fixed at 3 kg.

[0109] Performance comparison:

[0110]

[0117] Comparative Example 5

[0118] Omit the fly ash compounding step, and the replacement rate of the recycled aggregate remains 50%; other steps remain unchanged.

[0119] Performance comparison:

[0120]

[0129] Test 28d compressive strength, permeability resistance grade, and porosity.

[0130] Results:

[0131]

[0132] Conclusion: Modified nano-SiO2 and fly ash synergistically significantly reduce porosity, improve strength, and improve permeability resistance.

[0133] Test Example 2

[0134] Objective: To verify the effect of hyaluronic acid on the workability and durability of concrete.

[0135] Method:

[0138] Group D: Comparative Example 2 (no hyaluronic acid).

[0139] Test indicators: Test rebound rate, dry shrinkage rate, and 300 freeze-thaw cycle mass loss.

[0140] Results:

[0141]

[0142] Conclusion: The three-dimensional water-retaining network formed by hyaluronic acid effectively reduces water evaporation and drying shrinkage, improves the frost resistance of concrete, and significantly reduces the rebound rate of spraying.

[0148] Test initial setting time, 1d strength, and freeze-thaw mass loss.

[0149] Results:

[0150]

[0151] Conclusion: Under high temperature, the technology of dynamically adding triethanolamine to accelerate early hydration and appropriately reducing the molasses content effectively balances the fast hardening requirement and the compactness or durability requirement, avoiding the problem of excessive setting and strength or durability reduction caused by fixed high molasses content.
