Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine concrete preparation technology, specifically to a method for preparing lightweight thermal insulation cement-based materials for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Cement-based materials are indispensable building materials in aquaculture. Concrete aquaculture ponds are widely used due to their advantages such as low cost, durability, ease of construction, and maintenance. In low ambient temperatures, heating equipment is typically required to maintain the water temperature within the pond. At this time, aquaculture ponds constructed with insulated cement-based materials effectively reduce heat loss from the water and maintain the pond's temperature.

[0004] Currently, the insulating cement-based materials used in the construction of aquaculture ponds mainly use ordinary Portland cement as the cementitious component. However, the raw materials for producing this type of cement are primarily ores and industrial solid waste, resulting in cement clinker that typically contains soluble hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). Furthermore, during the crushing and grinding process of these raw materials and the resulting cement clinker, metal powder worn off from the metal parts of the equipment also introduces some chromium. my country's national standard, "Limits and Determination Methods for Water-Soluble Chromium (VI) in Cement" (GB31893-2015), clearly stipulates that the water-soluble chromium (VI) in cement must not exceed 10 mg / kg. However, when using this type of cement clinker to construct aquaculture ponds, water-soluble chromium (VI) can still easily migrate into the pond, affecting water quality. Therefore, measures need to be taken to minimize the water-soluble chromium (VI) content in the prepared insulating cement-based materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for preparing lightweight thermal insulation cement-based materials for aquaculture. This method not only reduces highly toxic hexavalent chromium to less toxic trivalent chromium but also solidifies the chromium element, effectively reducing the water-soluble chromium content in the material and making it more suitable for constructing aquaculture ponds. Specifically, the technical solution of this invention is as follows.

[0006] A method for preparing a lightweight thermal insulation cement-based material for aquaculture includes the following steps:

[0007] (1) Place the expanded vermiculite particles in an alkaline solution and keep them warm under heating conditions. After completion, wash the obtained expanded vermiculite particles to remove the residual alkaline solution, and dry them to obtain modified thermal insulation aggregate for later use.

[0008] (2) Disperse nano-silica in water to form a dispersion, then add polycarboxylate superplasticizer and stir until uniform, then add sodium borohydride and stir until uniform, and let stand. After completion, dry to remove excess water, grind to obtain chromium-reducing additive, and set aside for later use.

[0009] (3) Take the following raw materials: silicate cement, the modified thermal insulation aggregate, glass microspheres, filler, the chromium-reducing admixture, and fiber. Mix the above raw materials evenly, add water and stir until uniform to obtain the thermal insulation cement-based material.

[0010] Further, in step (1), the ratio of the expanded vermiculite particles to the alkaline solution is 1g: 25~50ml. Optionally, the particle size of the expanded vermiculite particles is 2~6mm.

[0011] Further, in step (1), the concentration of the alkaline solution is 1~3 mol / L. Optionally, the alkaline solution includes at least one of sodium hydroxide solution, potassium hydroxide solution, etc.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (1), the heating temperature is 60~80℃ and the heat preservation time is 4~5 hours.

[0013] Further, in step (2), the polycarboxylate superplasticizer is 0.4~0.75% of the mass of nano-silica.

[0014] Further, in step (2), the mass ratio of sodium borohydride to nano-silica is 1.8~2.3:1.

[0015] Further, in step (2), the drying method includes at least one of heating, freeze drying, etc. Optionally, the heating temperature is 70~90℃.

[0016] Further, in step (3), the proportions of each component in the raw material are as follows: 215-240 parts by weight of silicate cement, 450-530 parts by weight of the modified thermal insulation aggregate, 32-48 parts by weight of glass microspheres, 20-30 parts by weight of filler, 0.4-0.8 parts by weight of the chromium-reducing admixture, and 10-15 parts by weight of fiber.

[0017] Further, in step (3), water is added at a water-cement ratio of 0.42 to 0.48.

[0018] Further, in step (3), the filler includes at least one of calcium carbonate powder, mica powder, quartz powder, etc. Optionally, the fineness of the filler is 300~500 mesh.

[0019] Further, in step (3), the fiber includes at least one of polyethylene fiber, polypropylene fiber, polyacrylonitrile fiber, basalt fiber, etc. Optionally, the length of the fiber is 5~20mm.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0021] This invention uses alkali to treat expanded vermiculite, forming a modified insulating aggregate. This not only gives the cement-based material of this invention excellent thermal insulation performance, but also allows the silicon-oxygen tetrahedra in the expanded vermiculite to depolymerize under the action of alkali, forming products containing silanol groups such as -Si(OH)3. Furthermore, due to the porous nature of expanded vermiculite, the modified vermiculite, with its large specific surface area, can provide a large number of silanol groups. When added to silicate cement, it not only utilizes its adsorption capacity to enrich chromium into the pores of the aggregate, but also utilizes the silanol groups to complex the chromium in the cement. Simultaneously, the calcium hydroxide produced during cement hydration enters the aggregate, promoting the conversion of -Si(OH)3 into hydrated calcium silicate. This cementitious product, after solidification, can fix the complexed chromium within it, effectively preventing the dissolution of chromium.

[0022] Furthermore, the chromium-reducing admixture of the present invention can not only reduce highly toxic hexavalent chromium to less toxic trivalent chromium, but also solidify chromium, further reducing the water-soluble chromium in the material. To this end, the present invention first uses a polycarboxylate superplasticizer to modify the surface of nano-silica. Utilizing the electrostatic adsorption provided by the main chain of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer, a large number of superplasticizer molecules are loaded onto the surface of the nano-silica. Then, the present invention uses sodium borohydride to reduce the carboxyl groups on the superplasticizer molecules to hydroxyl groups. Because the polycarboxylate superplasticizer contains a large number of carboxyl groups, the surface of the resulting nano-silica particles is loaded with a large number of hydroxyl groups. Simultaneously, the remaining sodium borohydride, together with the nano-silica, forms the chromium-reducing admixture. When added to the thermal insulation cement-based material of the present invention, on the one hand, the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the nano-silica particles can complex and capture chromium; on the other hand, the sodium borohydride can reduce hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium or even elemental chromium, thereby reducing the toxicity of chromium. Simultaneously, these nano-silica particles that capture chromium can further react with the calcium hydroxide produced during the hydration of the silicate cement to form hydrated calcium silicate. After solidification, this cementitious product can fix the complexed chromium within, preventing its dissolution. This makes the thermal insulation cement-based material of the present invention more suitable for constructing aquaculture ponds, reducing its impact on water quality. Furthermore, the hydrated calcium silicate formed in the above process increases the content of the cementitious product in the thermal insulation cement-based material of the present invention, which helps to improve the mechanical strength of the mortar material.
