Abstract

[0003] Steel slag: The main components are active minerals such as tricalcium silicate and dicalcium silicate. However, due to its dense glassy structure, it is difficult to fully activate its activity when used alone as a cementitious material, and it needs to rely on alkaline activators or composite activation systems.
[0004] Carbide slag: The main component is calcium hydroxide, which has strong alkalinity and can be used as an alkaline activator. However, direct use can easily lead to excessive alkalinity in the system, affecting the setting time and volume stability.
[0005] Phosphogypsum: Its main component is calcium sulfate dihydrate, which contains impurities such as phosphorus and fluorine. It needs to be pretreated to remove impurities and increase sulfate activity before it can effectively participate in the gelling reaction.
[0006] Traditional steel slag-based cementitious materials mostly use a single activator (such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, etc.), which has problems such as low activation efficiency, high cost, and poor environmental friendliness. Summary of the Invention

[0031] As attached Figure 1 As shown:
[0032] Example 1: This example provides a steel slag-based cementitious material based on carbide slag-phosphogypsum composite activation, which comprises, by mass fraction: 80 parts of steel slag powder, 18 parts of pretreated phosphogypsum composite, 10 parts of carbide slag powder, 0.6 parts of basalt fiber, 0.5 parts of polycarboxylate water reducer, and 0.08 parts of citric acid retarder;
[0033] The pretreated phosphogypsum composite comprises 70 wt% of beta-type hemihydrate gypsum powder and 30 wt% of dihydrate gypsum whiskers.
[0034] The method for preparing a steel slag-based cementitious material based on carbide slag-phosphogypsum composite activation comprises:
[0035] Flash pyrolysis of phosphogypsum at 180°C for 10 min to convert it into β-hemihydrate gypsum. The β-hemihydrate gypsum powder contains 49.2% SO3, 0.07% soluble phosphorus, and 0.04% fluorine.
[0036] Wash the β-hemihydrate gypsum with 5% citric acid solution to remove impurities;
[0037] 0.5% by mass of Ca(OH)2 was added to the pickling solution to adjust the pH value of the system to 6-6.5, and dihydrate gypsum whiskers were precipitated, dried, ground and mixed to obtain a pretreated phosphogypsum composite, wherein the aspect ratio of the gypsum whiskers was 75.
[0038] S1, the specific surface area is 480m 2 / kg, f-CaO = 1.8% of steel slag powder and Ca (OH) 2 = 78%, D50 = 8μm of calcium carbide slag powder dry mixing for 5 minutes to obtain pH = 12.8 alkali activated powder;
[0039] S2. Add the pretreated phosphogypsum composite to the alkali-activated powder, maintain the system temperature at 32° C. and wet-mix for 4.5 minutes to obtain a mixture, and adjust the wet-mix water with a citric acid solution;
[0040] S3. First, add nano-calcium carbonate accounting for 1.5% of the mass of the steel slag powder to the mixture, and then add coated basalt fiber coated with a 1.2 μm thick alkali-resistant ZrO2 coating, a polycarboxylic acid water reducer, and a citric acid retarder in sequence, and mix until the materials are homogenized to obtain a steel slag-based cementitious material.
[0041] Steam pre-curing: 40℃ / 6h → room temperature curing: 20℃ / RH≥95% to 28 days.
[0042] Performance testing:
[0043]
[0044]
[0045] The working principle of gradient excitation is as follows: Ca(OH)2 in carbide slag provides an alkaline environment, destroying the active mineral components (such as tricalcium silicate and dicalcium silicate) in the glassy structure in the steel slag, releasing internal silicon ions, aluminum ions and other ions. The silicon ions combine with hydroxide ions to form calcium silicate hydrate gel (CSH), which is a three-dimensional network structure and is the main bearing phase of the strength of the cementitious material.
[0046] The β-hemihydrate gypsum and dihydrate gypsum whiskers in the pretreated phosphogypsum composite provide sulfate ions. After flash calcination and pickling to remove impurities, the sulfate activity is significantly increased. These react with the aluminum ions in the steel slag to form needle-shaped ettringite. These needle-shaped crystals can penetrate and fill the pores in the cementitious material. At the same time, the acicular ettringite has its own expansion properties, further squeezing the voids and improving the density and impermeability of the cementitious material.
[0047] Ultimately, the CSH gel forms a continuous three-dimensional skeleton, providing compressive strength; the needle-shaped ettringite fills the gaps in the skeleton, strengthening the interface transition zone while inhibiting crack propagation (improving flexural strength / toughness); the two work together to reduce the internal porosity of the cementitious material to below 15%, achieving high density, thereby improving strength (28d compressive strength ≥49.7MPa), impermeability (P8~P12) and frost resistance (F100~F200) properties.
[0048] Specific surface area of steel slag powder ≥450m 2 / kg is used to increase the reaction area with alkali solution and accelerate the dissolution of vitreous;
[0049] Carbide slag D50≤10μm is used to refine particles and improve the dissolution efficiency of Ca(OH)2;
[0050] Pre-treated phosphogypsum soluble phosphorus ≤ 0.08%, fluorine ≤ 0.05%: avoid impurities interfering with the reaction between sulfate ions and aluminum ions.
[0051] The wet mixing temperature is ≤35℃ to prevent premature hydration of phosphogypsum and ensure the continuous release of sulfate ions;
[0052] Nano-calcium carbonate further fills nano-scale pores, improves the density of the cementitious material, and strengthens the "skeleton-filling" effect. At the same time, nano-calcium carbonate can act as a crystal nucleus to promote the growth and crystallization of hydration products and improve the strength of the cementitious material.
[0053] The basalt fiber is coated with an alkali-resistant ZrO2 coating, which has good stability in alkaline environments. The addition of basalt fiber can improve the toughness and crack resistance of the cementitious material and prevent cracks in the cementitious material during the hardening process.
[0054] The aspect ratio of gypsum whiskers is 60 to 80, and they have high strength and modulus. The addition of gypsum whiskers can increase the strength and toughness of cementitious materials, while improving the microstructure of cementitious materials.
[0055] Through the chain reaction of "alkali breaking of vitreous body → ion release → generation of gel + needle-shaped crystals → construction of dense structure", the transformation of steel slag from "inert waste slag" to "highly active cementitious material" is achieved, while carbide slag and phosphogypsum are consumed, achieving the dual goals of "solid waste resource utilization + high-performance materials".
[0056] Example 2: This example provides a steel slag-based cementitious material based on carbide slag-phosphogypsum composite activation, which includes, by mass fraction: 75 parts of steel slag powder, 15 parts of pretreated phosphogypsum composite, 8 parts of carbide slag powder, 0.4 parts of basalt fiber, 0.7 parts of polycarboxylate water reducer, and 0.06 parts of citric acid retarder;
[0057] The pretreated phosphogypsum composite comprises 65 wt% of beta-type hemihydrate gypsum powder and 35 wt% of dihydrate gypsum whiskers.
[0058] The method for preparing a steel slag-based cementitious material based on carbide slag-phosphogypsum composite activation comprises:
[0059] Flash phosphogypsum at 180°C for 10 minutes to convert it into β-hemihydrate gypsum. The β-hemihydrate gypsum powder contains 48.5% SO3, 0.06% soluble phosphorus, and 0.03% fluorine.
[0060] Wash the β-hemihydrate gypsum with 5% citric acid solution to remove impurities;
[0061] 0.5% by mass of Ca(OH)2 was added to the pickling solution to adjust the pH value of the system to 6-6.5, and dihydrate gypsum whiskers were precipitated, dried, ground and mixed to obtain a pretreated phosphogypsum composite, wherein the aspect ratio of the gypsum whiskers was 70.
[0062] S1, the specific surface area is 460m 2 / kg, f-CaO = 1.5% of steel slag powder and Ca (OH) 2 = 80%, D50 = 9 μm of calcium carbide slag powder dry mixing for 5 minutes to obtain an alkali-activated powder with a pH = 12.9;
[0063] S2. Add the pretreated phosphogypsum composite to the alkali-activated powder, maintain the system temperature at 30° C. and wet-mix for 4 minutes to obtain a mixture, and adjust the wet-mix water with a citric acid solution;
[0064] S3. First, add nano-calcium carbonate accounting for 1.5% of the mass of the steel slag powder to the mixture, and then add coated basalt fiber coated with a 0.8 μm thick alkali-resistant ZrO2 coating, a polycarboxylic acid water reducer, and a citric acid retarder in sequence, and mix until the materials are homogenized to obtain a steel slag-based cementitious material.
[0065] Steam-hot air dual acceleration: 60℃ steam curing for 4h → 80℃ hot air curing for 12h → natural curing.
[0066] Performance testing:
[0067] index Measured value Highway repair standards 4h compressive strength 28.5MPa ≥20MPa 24h compressive strength 46.3MPa ≥35MPa 28d compressive strength 61.7MPa ≥50MPa Bond strength 4.2MPa ≥3.0MPa
[0068] Result description:
[0069] By providing heterogeneous nucleation sites for ettringite, the generation rate of needle-shaped ettringite is increased by 3 times (XRD quantitative analysis). Steam at 60°C promotes the rapid hydration of aluminum ions in steel slag, generating high-density CSH gel within 4 hours. Phosphorus impurities generate hydroxyapatite, filling the interface transition zone, improving the density and meeting construction requirements.
