Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of building materials, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a heat-reflective building material. Background Art
[0002] Due to factors such as the impermeability of concrete buildings, asphalt, and cement pavements, their low thermal reflectivity (0.1-0.4), high heat absorption (approximately 0.6), and good thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity greater than 1.2 W / m·K), many cities experience sharp increases in both exterior and interior temperatures during the summer (reaching over 60°C on some pavements, roofs, or exterior walls), creating an "urban heat island effect." This not only impacts the city's environmental quality and public health, but also dramatically increases energy consumption for cooling during extremely hot weather.
[0003] At present, my country's research on the management of urban "heat island effect" is still in its early stages. Traditional methods of managing the urban "heat island effect" include increasing urban greening rates, applying heat-reflective coatings on roofs, and installing insulation layers. For example, patent number CN117210111A, "An anti-corrosion reflective thermal insulation coating and its preparation method," while "heat-reflective coating" can effectively promote the management of the urban "heat island effect," has significant disadvantages such as high cost, weak interfacial contact adhesion, low strength and wear resistance, and susceptibility to aging and damage, resulting in a short service life (heat-reflective coatings use organic materials as a base material, which are more susceptible to aging and damage than inorganic materials).
[0004] Currently, patent number CN115340331A "A method for preparing a heat-reflective cement-based material" discloses a cement-based heat-reflective material. However, traditional cementitious materials (Portland cement) have extremely low heat reflection efficiency and low specific heat capacity, and are not suitable for use as cementitious materials for heat-reflective building materials.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heat-reflecting building material based on a novel cementitious material. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a heat-reflective building material, which has significant advantages such as green and low-carbon raw materials, excellent heat-reflective performance, and structural-functional integration.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] The present invention provides a method for preparing a heat-reflective building material, comprising the following steps:
[0009] S1: Sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate and water are mixed to prepare an alkaline activator solution, wherein the alkaline activator solution has a modulus of 1.3;
[0010] S2: mixing the alkali excitation solution with the surfactant and the heat reflective functional material to obtain a mixed solution;
[0011] S3: mixing the active arsenic sandstone and the mineral admixture to obtain a cementitious material;
[0012] S4: The mixed liquid and the cementitious material are fully stirred and mixed, and then standard sand is added, mixed and vibrated again, and then placed into a mold for shaping, and cured under standard curing conditions to obtain a heat-reflective building material.
[0013] Preferably, the sodium silicate in S1 is sodium water glass with a modulus of 3.26 and a Baume degree of 38.5 degrees; the mass ratio of sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate and water is 1:5.9:10.
[0014] Preferably, the mass ratio of the alkaline excitation solution, the surfactant, and the heat reflective functional material in S2 is 75.5:1:6.7;
[0015] The surfactant is one or more of gum arabic, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and sodium lauryl sulfate.
[0016] Preferably, the heat-reflecting functional material in S2 is one or more of rutile TiO2, ZnO, BaO, and hollow glass microspheres, and the refractive index of the heat-reflecting functional material is ≥2.0.
[0017] Preferably, the mass ratio of the mineral admixture to the active arsenic sandstone in S3 is 1:0.5-2.
[0018] Preferably, the preparation method of the active arsenic sandstone in S3 is:
[0019] Step 1: Place the arsenic sandstone in a drying oven at 110°C and bake for 24 hours;
[0020] Step 2: Place the dried arsenic sandstone into a muffle furnace, calcining it at a temperature of 550-900°C, for 1 hour, at a heating rate of 5°C / min;
[0021] Step 3: Cool the calcined arsenic sandstone to room temperature and place it in a ball mill at a speed of 500 rpm for 5 minutes.
[0022] The components of the arsenic sandstone are as follows: the main mineral components of the arsenic sandstone are quartz, montmorillonite, potassium feldspar and calcite, and the contents thereof are 15wt.% to 70wt.%, 10wt.% to 35wt.%, 5wt.% to 25wt.% and 0wt.% to 26wt.%, respectively.
[0023] Preferably, the mineral admixture in S3 includes one or more of mineral powder and fly ash; the specific surface area of the fly ash and mineral powder is independently not less than 400m 2 / kg.
[0024] Preferably, the mass ratio of the heat-reflecting functional material, the gelling material and the standard sand in the mixed liquid in S4 is 1:10-20:30-60.
[0025] Preferably, the standard sand in S4 complies with the Chinese ISO standard sand;
[0026] Preferably, the standard curing conditions in S4 are a temperature of 20±2° C., a relative humidity ≥95%, and a curing period of not less than 28 days.
[0027] Preferably, the solar reflectance of the heat-reflecting arsenic sandstone-based building material is 45.3% to 72.8%.
[0028] This invention uses modified activated argillaceous sandstone as the primary cementitious material, combined with a high-refractive-index heat-reflecting functional component and surface-functional additives, to achieve a synergistic improvement in optical reflectivity and mechanical properties during the structural forming process. The high crystallinity of quartz and mica in argillaceous sandstone significantly increases thermal reflectivity, and its specific heat capacity is significantly higher than that of ordinary Portland cement. Combined with the microstructure's "mirror effect" and porous thermal insulation, the resulting material possesses excellent heat reflection, thermal insulation, and mechanical stability, overcoming the problems of traditional surface coatings that are prone to shedding and low utilization, making it suitable for green building scenarios with high thermal control requirements, such as exterior walls and roofs.
[0029] Contains at least the following beneficial technical effects:
[0030] 1. By introducing high-refractive index materials such as TiO2 and activated arsenic sandstone, the solar reflectance of the material is effectively improved, reaching a maximum of 72.8%, which is significantly better than traditional cement-based materials and helps alleviate the urban heat island effect.
[0031] 2. Heat-reflective functional materials are added internally to produce arsenic sandstone-based heat-reflective building materials. Compared with traditional heat-reflective coatings, it avoids the problems of easy aging and falling off of the outer coating, and has both excellent mechanical properties and heat-reflective functions.
[0032] 3. The cementitious system is constructed with raw materials such as arsenic sandstone and mineral powder. The materials are non-toxic and harmless, and the preparation process is green, environmentally friendly and pollution-free. It has the characteristics of low carbon emissions and efficient resource utilization, achieving the coordinated goals of low-carbon development of building materials and high value of solid waste.
