[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. During use, the present invention treats nano-cerium oxide in an argon environment at -50°C in combination with a radio frequency plasma pulse mode. The low-temperature inert atmosphere avoids agglomeration and side reactions, and the plasma promotes the graft polymerization of acrylic acid monomers. The parameters are controlled to ensure uniform and efficient grafting. Nitrogen protection and aging enhance the modified firmness and improve its dispersion stability and grinding aid activity in an alkaline environment.

[0028] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0029] A cement raw meal grinding aid, comprising the following raw materials in percentage by weight:
[0030] Deep eutectic solvent 18-22%, industrial by-product crude glycerin 20-30%, Gemini surfactant 0.8-1.2%, nano cerium oxide 0.1-0.5%, polyether modified polysiloxane 1-3%, grafted dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate carrier 5-10%, water 30-50%,
[0031] Specifically, the deep eutectic solvent is a hydrophobic DES system composed of tetrabutylphosphine chloride and levulinic acid in a molar ratio of 1:3. This DES system has unique hydrophobic properties and a contact angle of ≥110°. It can effectively improve the interparticle interface properties during the cement raw material grinding process, reduce particle agglomeration, promote material dispersion, and create favorable conditions for the subsequent functioning of other components of the grinding aid. The DES system accounts for 18-22% of the grinding aid. This ratio has been verified by numerous experiments to fully utilize its interface regulation advantages within this range while ensuring optimal synergy with other components.
[0032] Industrial by-product crude glycerin is purified by molecular distillation. Crude glycerin, a by-product of biodiesel, comes from a wide range of sources but contains a high level of impurities, especially methanol residues and saponification products. Molecular distillation is used to remove most of these impurities, reducing the methanol content to a level that meets environmental standards (GB31573-2015 emission standards). It accounts for 20-30% of the grinding aid, acting as a solvent to promote uniform mixing of the various components. It also participates in some physical and chemical reactions during the grinding process, enhancing the grinding effect. This effectively utilizes industrial solid waste and reduces production costs.
[0033] Gemini surfactants are co-encapsulated with perfluoropolyether in supercritical fluid aerosol microcapsules. Compared to traditional surfactants, Gemini surfactants have a lower critical micelle concentration and can more effectively reduce surface tension. They are encapsulated in microcapsules with PFPE. The microcapsules have a particle size of 1-3μm and a rupture temperature of 80±5°C, allowing them to be released during the grinding process. When the temperature reaches around 80°C, the microcapsules rupture, and the released surfactants and PFPE quickly take effect, reducing the surface energy of the particles and inhibiting foam generation. Gemini surfactants account for 0.8-1.2% of the grinding aid, which is a small proportion but plays a key role.
[0034] Nano-cerium oxide is treated with cryo-plasma grafting and coated with an acrylic polymer shell. The zeta potential is ≤-45mV and the particle size distribution is 5±0.8nm. After this special treatment, nano-cerium oxide can maintain good dispersion stability in the alkaline environment of cement raw materials. The carboxylic acid groups on its surface can interact with other components. Nano-cerium oxide can use its surface oxygen vacancies to catalyze the breakage of SiO2 covalent bonds, reducing grinding energy consumption. It accounts for 0.1-0.5% of the grinding aid, and a small amount of addition can significantly improve grinding efficiency.
[0035] Polyether-modified polysiloxane accounts for 1-3% of the grinding aid. As a special additive, it works synergistically with Gemini surfactants to further optimize the defoaming performance and surface activity of the grinding aid, ensuring a stable grinding process.
[0036] The carrier of grafted dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate accounts for 5-10%. This carrier enables the grinding aid to quickly release active ingredients in the initial grinding stage (pH>10) and automatically passivate during the cement hydration stage (pH<12.5), avoiding adverse effects on the later strength of the cement and effectively balancing the effects of the grinding aid at different stages.
[0037] Water is used as a solvent, accounting for 30-50%, so that the components are fully mixed to form a uniform and stable grinding aid system.
[0038] A method for preparing a cement raw meal grinding aid comprises the following steps:
[0039] Nano-cerium oxide pretreatment S1: In an argon environment at -50 ° C, nano-CeO2 was mixed with 5 wt% acrylic acid / methanol solution, subjected to 13.56 MHz radio frequency plasma treatment for 30 min, and then heated to -20 ° C under nitrogen protection and aged for 2 h;
[0040] The operation is carried out in an argon atmosphere at -50°C to create a low-temperature, inert atmosphere. The low temperature slows the reaction rate, making the subsequent plasma treatment process more controllable and preventing the agglomeration of nano-cerium oxide or unnecessary side reactions with other substances caused by excessive temperatures. As an inert gas, argon can effectively isolate oxygen and water vapor, preventing the nano-cerium oxide from oxidation or moisture, ensuring its original performance stability.
[0041] Nano-cerium oxide is mixed with 5wt% acrylic acid / methanol solution. The acrylic acid monomer has good dispersibility in the methanol solution and can fully surround the nano-cerium oxide particles. Subsequently, 13.56MHz radio frequency plasma treatment is applied for 30 minutes. The high-energy electrons, ions and free radicals generated by the plasma can promote the grafting polymerization of acrylic acid monomer on the surface of nano-cerium oxide. In this process, a pulse mode with a duty cycle of 1:5, a pulse frequency of 10kHz and an acrylic acid monomer flux rate of 0.2mL / min is adopted. This precise control can make the grafting reaction more uniform and efficient, so that the acrylic acid polymer shell is evenly coated on the surface of nano-cerium oxide. After the treatment, the temperature is raised to -20℃ under nitrogen protection and aged for 2h. Nitrogen further protects the reaction product. The aging process helps to further grow and stabilize the grafted polymer chain, making the surface modification effect of nano-cerium oxide more solid, laying a solid foundation for its subsequent role in the grinding aid system.
[0042] DES-crude glycerol co-solvent system construction S2: Tetrabutylphosphine chloride and levulinic acid were stirred and dissolved at 60°C in a molar ratio of 1:3, industrial crude glycerol purified by molecular distillation was added, and after degassing under a vacuum of 2 kPa, supercritical CO2 was injected to 15 MPa;
[0043] Tetrabutylphosphine chloride and levulinic acid were stirred and dissolved at 60°C in a molar ratio of 1:3. This temperature ensures the dissolution rate of the two substances while preventing their decomposition or other adverse reactions due to excessive temperature. The hydrophobic DES system formed at this ratio has a contact angle of ≥110°, which can significantly improve the interfacial interaction with cement raw material particles.
[0044] Industrial crude glycerol purified by molecular distillation is added. Molecular distillation can effectively remove impurities such as methanol and saponification in crude glycerol, reduce their adverse effects on the performance of cement raw material grinding aids, and realize the resource utilization of industrial solid waste. Degassing is carried out under a vacuum of 2kPa to remove air and volatile impurities in the system to avoid affecting the subsequent supercritical CO2 injection effect and the stability of the entire system. Supercritical CO2 is injected to 15MPa. Supercritical CO2 has good diffusivity and solubility, which can make DES and crude glycerol fully mixed and penetrate into each other's molecular gaps to form a uniform and stable co-solvent system. Maintaining this pressure for a period of time can ensure that the molecules in the system fully interact with each other, creating favorable conditions for compatibility and synergy when subsequently compounded with other components.
[0045] In situ synthesis of microcapsules S3: Gemini surfactant and PFPE were mixed in a mass ratio of 2:1, turbulently stirred in a 25 MPa supercritical CO2 environment, and then rapidly depressurized through a coaxial atomizing nozzle to produce 1.2 ± 0.3 μm microcapsules;
[0046] Among them, Gemini surfactant and PFPE are mixed in a mass ratio of 2:1. Gemini surfactant has a unique molecular structure and can reduce surface tension more efficiently than traditional surfactants. When mixed with PFPE in a specific ratio, the synergistic advantages of the two can be brought into play. Turbulent stirring in a 25MPa supercritical environment causes significant changes in the physical and chemical properties of the substance in the supercritical state, with an increase in the diffusion coefficient and a decrease in viscosity, which is conducive to the full mixing and uniform dispersion of the two substances. Turbulent stirring further enhances the mixing effect and makes the collisions between molecules more frequent.
[0047] The coaxial atomizing nozzle is used to quickly release pressure to generate 1.2±0.3μm microcapsules. The phase change rate of supercritical CO2 is 50MPa / s. The inner diameter of the coaxial atomizing nozzle is 0.15mm, the outer diameter is 0.35mm, and the gas-liquid ratio is 15:1. Under such precisely controlled conditions, the solvent in the mixed solution evaporates rapidly during the instantaneous pressure reduction process. The Gemini surfactant and PFPE form a stable microcapsule structure under the action of interfacial tension. The precisely controlled particle size ensures that the microcapsules rupture at the appropriate temperature (80±5℃) during the cement raw material grinding process, releasing the internal surfactant and PFPE, thereby effectively reducing surface energy and inhibiting foam generation.
[0048] Multiphase system composite S4: pretreated nano-CeO2, DES-glycerol system, microcapsules and grafted DMAEMA carrier were added to a high-pressure homogenizer and circulated at 120°C and 50 MPa for 5 times;
[0049] Among them, pretreated nano-cerium oxide, DES-glycerol system, microcapsules and grafted DMAEMA carriers are added to a high-pressure homogenizer. The high-pressure homogenizer can provide strong shear force and pressure. The treatment is circulated 5 times at 120°C and 50MPa. The high temperature helps promote the thermal motion of molecules and enhance the interaction between the phases. The high pressure can make the substances in different phases fully mixed under strong pressure. Nano-cerium oxide is evenly dispersed in the DES-glycerol system, and the microcapsules can also be stably distributed therein. The grafted DMAEMA carrier is intertwined with other components. The treatment is circulated 5 times to ensure that each treatment can make the system more uniform and the interaction between the components more sufficient. After multiple treatments, a stable multi-phase composite system is formed, and the synergistic effect of the components is maximized, providing a guarantee for the performance of the cement raw meal grinding aid.
[0050] Aqueous system stabilization S5: Deionized water was added to the composite system in stages, and 40 kHz ultrasonic vibration was applied at intervals of 3 minutes between each stage, and the final pH was adjusted to 9.0-9.5.
[0051] Among them, deionized water is added to the composite system in stages. The staged addition can fully mix the water with the composite system, avoiding the uneven local concentration of the system or phase separation caused by adding a large amount of water at one time. 40kHz ultrasonic vibration is applied at an interval of 3 minutes in each stage. The cavitation effect of the ultrasound can further promote the mixing of water and other components in the system, and at the same time help to break up possible agglomerates to make the system more uniform. During the process of adding water and ultrasonic vibration, the pH value of the system will change. By adjusting the final pH to 9.0-9.5, within this pH range, the components in the grinding aid can maintain a stable chemical state, which is beneficial for each component to exert its own grinding aid effect, and can also ensure the stability of the entire aqueous system, and prevent the decomposition or precipitation of certain components due to improper pH value, thereby obtaining a cement raw meal grinding aid product with excellent performance, stability and reliability.

[0142]
[0143] Through the above four examples, different combinations were tried from two key dimensions: raw material selection and preparation steps. Example 1 used specific steps to process general raw materials, attempting to explore the potential of the process to improve the performance of conventional materials. Example 2 used specific raw materials with general steps to observe the performance of raw material properties under conventional preparation processes.

[0147] At the same time, data from two comparative examples are also included. Through these data, we can clearly see the impact of different combinations of raw materials and preparation steps on the performance of cement raw meal grinding aids, providing a strong basis for further optimizing the grinding aid formula and process, and then on this basis, we can determine the direction of technical improvement and provide technical support for the research and development of cement raw meal grinding aids with better performance.

[0150]
[0151] In terms of cost control and the effect of increasing cement raw meal production per unit time, each example exhibited significant differences from the comparative example, with Example 3 exhibiting the most superior properties in both respects. Accurate calculations show that the grinding aid prepared in Example 3 can cost as little as 3.8 yuan per ton, offering a significant cost advantage over other solutions. Furthermore, the use of the cement raw meal grinding aid in Example 3 increased cement raw meal production per unit time by 20%, significantly improving production efficiency.
[0152] The first and second embodiments are at a medium level. The grinding aid cost per ton of the first embodiment is RMB 4.2, and the cement raw material output per unit time is increased by 15%. The grinding aid cost per ton of the second embodiment is RMB 4.5, and the cement raw material output per unit time is increased by 10%.
[0153] On the other hand, Example 4 and Comparative Example 2 have poor cost control and output improvement effects. The grinding aid cost per ton of Example 4 is as high as RMB 5.0, while the cement raw material output per unit time is only increased by 5%. The grinding aid cost per ton of Comparative Example 2 is RMB 5.5, and the output improvement ratio is only 3%. Comparative Example 1 is in an intermediate state in terms of cost and efficiency, with a grinding aid cost per ton of RMB 4.8 and an 8% increase in cement raw material output per unit time.
[0154] Among them, cement quality is one of the key indicators for measuring the performance of cement raw meal grinding aids. In terms of cement flexural strength and standard consistency water requirement, each solution performed differently. The cement prepared in Example 3 showed the most excellent quality characteristics. Its cement flexural strength reached 5.2 MPa after 3 days and 8.0 MPa after 28 days, which were the highest values among all solutions. At the same time, the standard consistency water requirement of cement was reduced by 4%, which has positive significance for improving the construction performance of cement and enhancing the quality of cement products.
[0155] The quality of the cements of Example 1 and Example 2 is within a reasonable range. The 3-day flexural strength of the cement of Example 1 is 4.8 MPa, the 28-day flexural strength is 7.5 MPa, and the standard consistency water requirement is reduced by 3%. The 3-day flexural strength of the cement of Example 2 is 4.5 MPa, the 28-day flexural strength is 7.2 MPa, and the standard consistency water requirement is reduced by 2%.
[0156] The cement quality of Example 4 and Comparative Example 2 is relatively low. The 3-day flexural strength of the cement of Example 4 is 4.2 MPa, the 28-day flexural strength is 6.8 MPa, and the standard consistency water requirement is unchanged; the 3-day flexural strength of the cement of Comparative Example 2 is 4.0 MPa, the 28-day flexural strength is 6.5 MPa, and the standard consistency water requirement increases by 2%. The quality of the cement of Comparative Example 1 is average, with a 3-day flexural strength of 4.6 MPa, a 28-day flexural strength of 7.0 MPa, and a standard consistency water requirement reduced by 1%.
[0157] In addition, from the perspective of environmental protection, the heavy metal content of the grinding aid of each embodiment is at a relatively low level, meeting relevant environmental protection requirements. Specifically, the lead content of the grinding aid in Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 is all less than 1mg / kg, and mercury content is all less than 0.1mg / kg, and cadmium content is all less than 0.5mg / kg. Although the heavy metal content of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 is slightly higher than that of the embodiment, it is still within an acceptable range. In Comparative Example 1, lead content is less than 2mg / kg, mercury content is less than 0.2mg / kg, and cadmium content is less than 1mg / kg. In Comparative Example 2, lead content is less than 3mg / kg, mercury content is less than 0.3mg / kg, and cadmium content is less than 1.5mg / kg. By comparison, the embodiment has obvious advantages in terms of environmental performance, comprehensive cost, efficiency, cement quality and practical parameters such as environmental protection, and embodiment three is the most outstanding in the comparison of multiple schemes.
[0158] The five parameter variables in the above embodiment: grinding efficiency improvement ratio, 28-day compressive strength increase value, cement raw material unit time output improvement ratio, system viscosity and biodegradation rate, as well as the changes in the values in the four embodiments and two comparative examples are obtained from the following five parameter variables. Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5 The present invention utilizes a specific hydrophobic DES system, industrial crude glycerol purified by molecular distillation, Gemini surfactants encapsulated in supercritical synthetic aerosol microcapsules, and nano-cerium oxide grafted by cryopreservation plasma. These ingredients work synergistically, providing insights and methods for improving the performance of grinding aids. The preparation process involves pre-treating the nano-cerium oxide in a low-temperature argon environment, supercritically constructing a DES-crude glycerol co-solvent system, and in-situ microcapsule synthesis. These processes control the reaction conditions to ensure the optimal performance of each ingredient, representing a breakthrough in traditional grinding aid preparation methods.
[0159] And the line graph data shows that Example 3 adopts this formula and step, and is superior to other embodiments and comparative examples in performance indicators such as grinding efficiency improvement ratio, 28-day compressive strength added value, and cement raw material unit time output improvement ratio, thereby improving cement production efficiency and quality. At the same time, the system viscosity is controlled, and the biodegradation rate meets the requirements, taking into account production stability and environmental protection. In addition, the cost of Example 3 tons of grinding aid is 3.8 yuan, achieving performance and cost balance, with economic and environmental benefits, and has promotion prospects in cement production practical applications, proving that the formula and preparation steps of the present invention possess substantial characteristics and progress.
