Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of environment-friendly tailings concrete, and particularly relates to a low-carbon tailings concrete and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the current booming construction industry, concrete is widely used as a core building material. Traditional concrete is mainly composed of cement and natural sandstone, but with the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the highlighting of resource shortage, its limitations gradually emerge in the aging angle.
[0003] The durability of traditional concrete is limited. Under the long-term natural environmental erosion, such as acid rain and seawater erosion, calcium hydroxide in cement stone will react, causing damage to the internal structure of concrete and reducing the strength. At the same time, the mining of natural aggregates not only destroys the ecology, but also causes aging phenomenon in the environment, such as the increase of surface roughness of machine-made sandstone under long-term friction and weathering, which affects the bonding force with the cement paste and further reduces the overall performance of the concrete.
[0004] From the perspective of crack resistance, once cracks appear in traditional concrete, rainwater and harmful substances will enter, accelerating the corrosion of internal steel bars, forming a vicious cycle and further shortening the service life of the building structure.
[0005] The emergence of low-carbon tailings concrete aims to solve these aging-related problems. It uses tailings micro-powder to replace part of the cement, not only reducing carbon emissions in the cement production process, but also effectively filling the pores of the cement paste due to the high specific surface area and activity of the tailings micro-powder, improving the compactness of the concrete and enhancing the erosion resistance. At the same time, with specific composite aggregates and admixtures, the cohesion and crack resistance of the concrete can be improved, the aging process can be delayed, the durability and service life of the building structure can be improved, and the current sustainable development of the building demand can be met. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application aims to provide a low-carbon tailings concrete, which improves the durability and crack resistance of the concrete by adding tailings micro-powder and anti-aging agent, effectively delays aging, and prolongs the service life of the building structure.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: a low-carbon tailings concrete is made from raw materials containing the following mass fractions: cement 100 parts, tailings micro-powder 45-75 parts, composite aggregate 150-300 parts, water 30-50 parts, admixture 1-5 parts, and anti-aging agent 0.5-2 parts.
[0008] The anti-aging agent is a structure represented by Chemical Formula 1:
[0009] Chemical Formula 1: ;
[0010] R1 in the chemical formula 1 is methyl, amino, nitro or methoxy.
[0011] Further, the cement is P.O 42.5 Portland cement or PⅡ 52.5 Portland cement.
[0012] Further, the tailing fines are iron tailing fines, and the specific surface area of the fines is ≥400 m 2 / kg.
[0013] Further, the composite aggregate is composed of 70-100 parts of machine-made sand and 80-130 parts of recycled coarse aggregate.
[0014] Further, the recycled coarse aggregate has a particle size of 5-25 mm and a water absorption rate ≤8%.
[0015] Further, the recycled coarse aggregate is building rubble.
[0016] Further, the admixture is a mixture of polycarboxylic acid water reducer, defoaming agent and retarder in a mass ratio of 1:1:1.
[0017] Further, the water reducer is polycarboxylic acid water reducer.
[0018] Further, the defoaming agent is polyether-modified silicone oil.
[0019] Further, the retarder is one or more of sodium gluconate, citrate or pyrophosphate.
[0020] Further, the antioxidant is any one of the compounds shown in the following structures:
[0021] ;
[0022] .
[0023] A preparation method of low-carbon tailing concrete, comprising the following steps:
[0024] S1. The cement, tailing fines and 50% of the composite aggregate are put into a mixer and dry-mixed for 1-3 min until uniform;
[0025] S2. 70% of the water and all of the admixture are added, and wet-mixed for 2-6 min to form a uniform slurry;
[0026] S3. 50% of the composite aggregate, the antioxidant and 30% of the water are added, and the stirring is continued for 1-5 min to obtain a low-carbon tailing concrete.
[0027] Further, the low-carbon tailing concrete needs to be subjected to standard curing after being poured.
[0028] Further, the standard curing adopts the environment curing of temperature 20±2 DEG C, relative humidity >=95% for 28 days, and covering the evaporation-proof film after initial setting.
[0029] A building structural member is characterized by being cast using a low-carbon tailings concrete or a preparation method of a low-carbon tailings concrete.
[0030] Further, the building structural member can be used as a lightweight building material.
[0031] Further, the building structural member can be used to prepare an outer protective shell of an energy-saving boiler and auxiliary equipment.
[0032] The anti-aging agent is a novel phosphite anti-aging agent, which has strong electrophilicity, antioxidant capacity and anti-ultraviolet activity. The anti-aging agent can effectively capture free radicals generated in environmental erosion (such as acid rain or ultraviolet light), neutralize free radicals, inhibit oxidative chain reaction, thereby reducing the degradation of the internal structure of the concrete. The molecular structure of the anti-aging agent helps to reduce the internal stress of the concrete. The anti-aging agent absorbs or disperses stress through its flexible organic chain segment, while promoting more uniform hydration reaction.
[0033] The mass fraction formula system of the low-carbon tailings concrete solves key technical problems through a multi-level synergistic mechanism: in terms of low-carbon synergy, tailings micro powder partially replaces cement to reduce carbon emissions, the active components thereof react with cement hydration products to enhance the strength of the interface transition zone, and physically fill the cement paste pores to improve the density, thereby jointly inhibiting aggregate-paste peeling cracks and improving erosion resistance; in terms of workability and crack resistance, the gradient grading of mechanism sand and recycled coarse aggregate complements each other to reduce the demand for paste and plastic shrinkage stress, the water reducing agent in the compounded admixture reduces the water-cement ratio to improve the strength, the retarder delays the hydration heat peak to inhibit temperature cracks, the defoaming agent eliminates air bubbles to reduce porosity to enhance frost resistance / anti-permeability, and the three synergistically ensure paste uniformity to solve the strength unevenness caused by aggregate settlement segregation; in terms of durability synergy, a specific anti-aging agent captures H + ions generated by acid rain erosion through a strong electrophilic group to inhibit chemical corrosion, the antioxidant segment terminates the free radical chain reaction to delay ultraviolet oxidative aging, and the flexible organic chain absorbs internal stress to reduce microcrack expansion; the dynamic synergy of the preparation process avoids premature decomposition of the anti-aging agent to ensure long-term anti-aging efficiency, and through gradient feeding, the bulk density is optimized to improve the final strength.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] 1. Low carbon emission reduction and resource recycling: The present application uses tailings powder to replace part of the cement, reduces the cement consumption from the production source, and significantly reduces the carbon emissions in the cement production process. At the same time, industrial waste residues and construction waste rocks are converted into composite aggregates, realizing efficient recycling of resources, with the advantages of environmental friendliness and cost control, and relieving the pressure of natural aggregate mining.
[0036] 2. Significantly improve the comprehensive performance of concrete: The present application fills the pores of cement paste by the high specific surface area and activity of tailings powder, improves the compactness and erosion resistance; the strong electrophilic group of the anti-aging agent captures free radicals, inhibits oxidation and chemical corrosion, improves the compressive strength to 50-58MPa, reduces the freeze-thaw mass loss rate to 1.5%-3%, reduces the ultraviolet aging strength loss to 5%-8%, and significantly enhances the durability and crack resistance.
[0037] 3. Optimize the preparation process synergistically: The present application adopts gradient feeding dynamic synergistic process, dry mixing first and then adding water in batches, optimizes the stirring sequence and time, avoids premature decomposition of the anti-aging agent, and ensures long-term anti-aging effect.

[0085] The anti-aging agent significantly improves the anti-aging performance of the concrete through strong electrophilicity and antioxidant capacity. The anti-aging agent captures the free radicals generated by H + and ultraviolet rays. The molecular structure of the anti-aging agent promotes uniform hydration and reduces internal stress. The tailings micro-powder and composite aggregate optimize the packing density, and the admixtures (water reducing agent, defoaming agent, and retarder) reduce the water-cement ratio and eliminate pores. Comparative Examples 1-3 use alternative anti-aging agents, which cannot efficiently inhibit oxidation reactions. Comparative Example 4 (without anti-aging agent) has the weakest anti-aging ability; Comparative Example 5 (without water reducing agent) has many pores; and Comparative Example 6 (without retarder) has uneven hydration heat and produces micro-cracks. The low-carbon tailings concrete of the present application significantly improves the compressive strength, durability, and weather resistance through the synergy of the anti-aging agent and multiple components.
