Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of solid waste and building materials, and particularly relates to a method for preparing building materials by utilizing carbonation of magnesium slag combined with gasification furnace slag. Background Art

[0002] In traditional building material production, the large amount of cement used requires high-temperature calcination, resulting in high energy consumption, high carbon emissions, and irreversible damage to the environment. To address these issues, the synergistic production of new building materials using coal gasification slag, coal gangue, magnesium slag, and CO2 has become a viable green development approach, achieving resource recycling.

[0003] Gasifier slag is a solid waste produced during the coal gasification process. It contains active components capable of participating in pozzolanic reactions, but its high carbon content limits its application. Magnesium reduction slag is a solid waste discharged during the magnesium production process. The presence of highly hydrating free calcium oxide (f-CaO) and free magnesium oxide (f-MgO) in magnesium slag causes rapid reactions during hydration, resulting in internal volume expansion and destruction of structural integrity, ultimately affecting the volume stability of the hydrated product. Furthermore, the low hydration activity of γ-C2S further slows the overall hydration rate of magnesium slag.

[0004] These are the main reasons why magnesium slag is difficult to utilize on a large scale. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the above prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing building materials by carbonation of magnesium slag combined with gasification slag, wherein the method generates CO2 and dissolves it in water to generate carbonate solution. Under appropriate temperature and gas flow rate, Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ Plasma in CO3 2- The accelerated diffusion rate in the environment promotes the carbonation reaction between the carbonate solution and the free magnesium oxide and Ca2SiO4 in the sample to generate magnesium carbonate, calcite and aragonite, achieving reaction bonding, thereby giving the material higher compressive strength.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A method for preparing building materials by utilizing carbonation of magnesium slag combined with gasification furnace slag comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: drying the magnesium slag raw material, crushing it with a jaw crusher, and then grinding it into fine powder with a ball mill to serve as the matrix fine powder;

[0009] Step 2: drying the gasification slag raw material, crushing it with a jaw crusher, and screening it according to a certain particle size to use as aggregate;

[0010] Step 3, adding the aggregate, binder and matrix powder in sequence, mixing and placing in a sealed container or plastic bag for drying;

[0011] Step 4: the scalded material is pressed into shape using a semi-dry method and then naturally aired;

[0012] Step 5: Place the air-dried sample into a carbonation device for sample carbonation treatment, so as to obtain magnesium slag carbonation combined with gasification furnace slag to prepare building materials.

[0013] In step 1, the magnesium slag is dried in an oven at 90-120°C for 24-48 hours, and then ball-milled for 30-120 minutes. The fine powder after ball milling has a particle size of 0.05-100 μm, which can stimulate most of the potential gelling reactivity of the magnesium slag.

[0014] In step 2, the gasification slag raw material must be dried in an oven at 90° C.-110° C. for 24 h-48 h.

[0015] In step 2, the fumed slag, crushed by the jaw crusher, is screened into particle sizes of 1-3 mm and 0.5-3 mm. The goal is to select aggregates with a larger particle size range to fully utilize the fumed slag raw material. Furthermore, by optimizing the gradation design, high density and excellent mechanical properties of the material can be achieved.

[0016] In step 3, in order to fully utilize the gasification slag raw material, the ratio of aggregate to matrix powder is between (30-50): (50-70), and the binder accounts for 10-20% of the total weight of the aggregate and matrix powder (the mechanical properties of the sample are good within this range).

[0017] In the step 3, the binder dilution solution is first added to the aggregate and mixed for 3 to 5 minutes, and then the matrix powder is added and mixed for 3 to 5 minutes. The total mixing time in the wheel mill is 10 to 20 minutes.

[0018] In step 3, the curing time is 2 to 6 hours, so that the binder is more evenly distributed and easy to shape.

[0019] In the step 4, the bricks are pressed into a certain shape and size, and brick presses of different tonnages are used according to the size of the bricks.

[0020] In step 4, the drying time is half a day to 1 day.

[0021] In step 5, the sample is carbonated in a controllable carbonation device. The carbonation device is first heated to 40° C. to 70° C., and carbonation can be performed when the temperature reaches this range.

[0022] CO2 enters the equipment through the bubbling method, and the CO2 flow rate is controlled to ensure that the calcium carbonate generated by the carbonation reaction reacts completely. The temperature of the carbonation equipment is stable at 40℃~70℃, the volume fraction of CO2 in the CO2 gas is 50%~99%, the CO2 flow rate is 2L / min~6L / min, and the carbonation time is 1 day to 7 days. The sample is subjected to carbonation reaction under the above conditions to obtain a building material with higher strength.

[0023] A building material prepared by carbonating magnesium slag in combination with gasification slag, comprising CaCO3, which covers the surface of uncarbonized hydration products and C2S particles, and fills and connects the matrix and aggregate around the C2S. The presence of CaCO3 causes the three to mix together, thereby densifying the matrix.

[0024] The CaCO3 is coated with C2S, periclase and ferrosilicon, and the contents of periclase and ferrosilicon are lower than that of C2S.

[0025] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0026] This invention solidifies solid waste resources and reduces CO2 emissions by introducing CO2 from flue gas, effectively solving the problem of utilizing CO2 from industrial solid waste and flue gas. The main raw materials used in this invention are magnesium slag as the matrix and solid wastes such as gasification furnace slag, coal gangue, construction waste bricks, and waste concrete as aggregates. This method is inexpensive and significantly increases the utilization rate of solid wastes such as magnesium slag and gasification furnace slag, offering a high cost-effectiveness ratio.

[0027] At the same time, since gasification furnace slag, coal gangue, etc. replace natural aggregates such as sand and stone as raw materials for concrete, the mining and use of natural sand and gravel aggregates are greatly reduced, which can effectively protect mines, save natural resources, and provide a sustainable development method for the concrete construction industry. The magnesium slag used can replace the raw materials of cement, reducing the amount of cement used, saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. The method has the characteristics of simple steps and easy operation, and the raw materials are easy to obtain and do not require maintenance, which can reduce energy consumption and is easy to carry out on a large scale. Wastes such as gasification furnace slag can be selected as aggregates according to different usage scenarios, and the particle size range of different raw materials can be selected, so that the product performance has a large adjustable range.

[0040] d. Curing: After mixing, place the mixed materials in a sealed container or plastic bag and curing for 2 to 6 hours to make the binder more evenly distributed and easier to shape.

[0042] f. Drying: Let the formed sample dry naturally for half a day to one day.

[0043] g. CO2 Carbonation: Place the air-dried sample into a CO2 carbonation apparatus and introduce CO2 into the apparatus by bubbling. Maintain the carbonation apparatus at 40-70°C for 1-7 days at a CO2 flow rate of 2-6 L / min. The volume fraction of CO2 in the CO2 gas should be 50%-99%.

Carbonation is carried out for 1 day to obtain magnesium slag carbonation combined with gasification furnace slag building materials. The physical composition of the sample is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the microstructure Figure 3 The performance is shown in Table 2.

[0051] From the attached Figure 2 It can be seen that new phases calcite and aragonite are generated after the sample is carbonated. At the same time, the main crystal peak intensity of γ-C2S and β-C2S is slightly lower than that of the main crystal peak intensity of calcite.

[0052] From the attached Figure 3It can be seen that periclase has clearly undergone carbonation. Observing the EDS spectra around and within the C2S in the yellow box, CaCO3 forms a thick ring structure of product layers around the C2S, and obvious reaction signs are also observed within the C2S.

CaCO3 is widely distributed, enveloping C2S, periclase, and ferrosilicon, with the periclase and ferrosilicon content being relatively low relative to C2S. These phases can be identified through SEM and EDS analysis, with the periclase clearly undergoing carbonation.
