Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solid waste resource utilization, and more particularly to a method for preparing a cement-stabilized gravel mixture by utilizing detoxified fly ash and the cement-stabilized gravel mixture. Background Art

[0002] Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (hereinafter referred to as "fly ash") is a byproduct of municipal solid waste incineration. According to statistics, my country produces approximately 10 million tons of fly ash annually, and this figure is projected to reach 12 million tons by 2025. Currently, fly ash is primarily treated through "stabilization and solidification followed by landfilling." In recent years, limited landfill capacity and a shortage of land resources have created significant risks associated with landfilling. Therefore, the safe and effective disposal and resource utilization of incineration fly ash has become a hot topic of concern both domestically and internationally.

[0003] The "Technical Specification for Pollution Control of Municipal Waste Fly Ash" (HJ 1134-2020) explicitly states that after treated fly ash meets relevant requirements, it can be classified as general solid waste during co-disposal in cement kilns, rather than as hazardous waste. Detoxified fly ash from municipal waste incineration, after undergoing multiple treatment steps like washing and pyrolysis, has heavy metal leaching and dioxin concentrations far below standard requirements, making it feasible for use in the production of construction materials. However, research into the material properties and resource utilization of detoxified fly ash is still in its infancy, and there is a lack of approaches to its large-scale disposal and utilization.

[0004] In recent years, my country's road construction has rapidly developed, and the demand for road base materials has also increased. Cement-stabilized gravel mixtures have become the mainstream material for road bases due to their high strength, good stability, and convenient construction. Currently, cement-stabilized gravel mixtures are primarily composed of cement, coarse aggregate, and manufactured sand. There is no development or application of using detoxified fly ash as a raw material to replace manufactured sand in cement-stabilized gravel mixtures. Therefore, if detoxified fly ash were used as a raw material in cement-stabilized gravel mixtures, it would be possible to dispose of and consume large quantities of detoxified fly ash, solving the problem of fly ash occupation and land pollution.

[0039] The functions of the components in the above solid phase are as follows: cement plays a bonding role, and the hydration products form a bonding layer between the gravel particles, firmly bonding the gravel particles together to form a whole mixture; coarse aggregate and fine aggregate are the main components of cement-stabilized gravel, providing a strength skeleton; detoxified fly ash replaces part of the fine aggregate, plays a filling role, and further improves the density of the mixture.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the weight of cement is 3 to 5 parts or 4 to 7 parts, such as 4 parts or 5 parts; the cement is P·O42.5 cement with a specific surface area greater than 300m 2 / kg, 28-day compressive strength ≥42.5MPa.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the weight proportion of the coarse aggregate is 52 to 66 parts or 56 to 71 parts, such as 55 parts, 60 parts, 65 parts, 70 parts, or a range consisting of any two of 55 parts, 60 parts, 65 parts, and 70 parts.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the coarse aggregate is a compound of aggregate with a particle size of 16 to 31.5 mm and aggregate with a particle size of 5 to 16 mm; wherein the weight percentage of the aggregate with a particle size of 16 to 31.5 mm is 24 to 35 parts, and the weight percentage of the aggregate with a particle size of 5 to 16 mm is 28 to 36 parts. In a specific embodiment, the weight percentage of the aggregate with a particle size of 16 to 31.5 mm is 24 to 30 parts or 27 to 35 parts, such as 25 parts, 28 parts, 32 parts, or a range consisting of any two of 25 parts, 28 parts, and 32 parts; the weight percentage of the aggregate with a particle size of 5 to 16 mm is 28 to 34 parts or 20 to 36 parts, such as 30 parts, 32 parts, 36 parts, or a range consisting of any two of 30 parts, 32 parts, and 36 parts. The above-mentioned coarse aggregate is natural crushed stone or recycled aggregate, and the crushing value of the coarse aggregate is less than 30%;

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the weight percentage of fine aggregate is 19 to 25 parts or 23 to 29 parts; for example, 22 parts, 25 parts, or 28 parts, or a range consisting of any two of 22 parts, 25 parts, or 28 parts. The fine aggregate is manufactured sand with a particle size of ≤5 mm and a crushing value of <30%.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the weight percentage of the detoxified fly ash is 5 to 10 parts or 6 to 12 parts; for example, 6 parts, 8 parts, or 12 parts, or a range consisting of any two of 6 parts, 8 parts, or 12 parts. The detoxified fly ash has a particle size of ≤5mm and is the product of washed and pyrolyzed fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration.

[0050] In this step, cement and water are weighed in different proportions, added to the coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and detoxified fly ash proportioned in step S1 and mixed evenly; a fitting curve of moisture content and dry density is drawn through multiple compaction tests to determine the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density of the raw materials. The weight proportions of cement and water are then determined based on the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density. The compaction test can be carried out with reference to the experiments in standard T0804 "Test Procedures for Stabilized Materials of Inorganic Binders for Highway Engineering", for example, the compaction test can be carried out 6 to 7 times; in the fitting curve of moisture content and dry density, the cement content can be fixed and the amount of water added can be adjusted to obtain it. S3, weigh the raw materials according to the weight proportions determined in steps S1 and S2, and mix the raw materials evenly to obtain a cement-stabilized gravel mixture.

[0051] In this step, coarse and fine aggregates, detoxified fly ash, and cement are put into a forced mixer in a certain proportion and mixed, and then water is added. The mixing time is 60 to 90 seconds.

[0062] (2) Weigh cement and water in different proportions, add the weighed cement and water to the coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and detoxified fly ash in the weight proportions in (1), and mix them evenly. Determine the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density of the several raw materials in the weight proportions in (1) through multiple compaction tests, and determine the weight proportions of cement and water accordingly, as shown in Table 2;

[0070]

[0071]

[0072] As shown in Table 4, the 7-day unconfined compressive strength of the cement-stabilized gravel mixture prepared in the examples of the present invention is 4.1 to 5.1 MPa (average 4.6 MPa), which is higher than that of the cement-stabilized gravel mixture without detoxified fly ash (average 3.0 MPa). This shows that the high calcium and sulfate content of detoxified fly ash has a certain activity-stimulating effect, and at the same cement content, the performance of the prepared cement-stabilized gravel mixture is better.
