Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building material preparation, and in particular to a lightweight and high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the world's most widely used civil engineering material, concrete's technological development has entered a stage of high-performance and intelligent development. The concrete industry has achieved breakthroughs in high-performance concrete, lightweight concrete, and self-healing concrete, and has widely applied them in major projects such as high-speed railways and super-high-rise buildings. Currently, the concrete industry is accelerating its greening process, reducing resource consumption through solid waste utilization and promoting low-carbon production processes. The application of intelligent production lines and big data analysis technologies has improved production efficiency and quality management. Among them, ceramsite concrete, a green concrete that uses artificial lightweight aggregate instead of traditional stone, has been favored by scholars for its advantages such as light weight and high strength, excellent thermal insulation, outstanding seismic and fire resistance, and excellent durability and impermeability.

[0003] However, the existing ceramsite lightweight aggregate has the following problems: First, the use of natural clay and shale as the main raw materials is not in line with the current concept of sustainable development; second, the technology for preparing ceramsite lightweight aggregate using solid waste is weak, resulting in high water absorption of finished ceramsite products; third, there is a contradiction between compressive strength and density. The cylinder compressive strength of clay ceramsite is only 2.5 to 4.0 MPa, while high-strength ceramsite lightweight aggregate often has a relatively large density. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lightweight and high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate and its preparation method and application, so as to solve the problems of high raw material cost, high density, low compressive strength, high water absorption and poor corrosion resistance of existing ceramsite aggregate.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a lightweight and high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, comprising the following raw materials in parts by mass:

[0007] 60-76 parts of iron ore tailings, 10-23 parts of municipal sludge, 13-20 parts of granite sawdust, and 5-10 parts of polyvinyl alcohol solution.

[0008] Furthermore, in the light-weight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, the iron tailings contain SiO2 ≥ 35 wt%, and CaO ≥ 20 wt%;

[0009] The average particle size of the iron tailings is ≤74 μm.

[0010] Further, in the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, the organic matter in the municipal sludge is ≥ 50wt%, SiO2 is ≥ 15wt%, and Al2O3 is ≥ 7wt%.

[0011] The average particle size of the municipal sludge is ≤ 74μm.

[0012] Further, in the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, the SiO2 in the granite sawdust is ≥ 65wt%, Al2O3 is ≥ 15wt%, and Na2O is ≥ 3wt%.

[0013] The average particle size of the granite sawdust is ≤ 74μm.

[0014] Further, in the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, the mass concentration of the polyvinyl alcohol solution is 9-13%.

[0015] The application further provides a preparation method of the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate.

[0016] (1) mixing part of the iron tailings, the municipal sludge and part of the polyvinyl alcohol solution, and performing first calcination to obtain green balls;

[0017] (2) mixing the green balls with the remaining iron tailings, the granite sawdust and the remaining polyvinyl alcohol solution to obtain composite green balls; and performing second calcination on the composite green balls to obtain the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate.

[0018] Further, in the preparation method of the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, the first calcination in step (1) has the conditions of: a calcination temperature of 150-190℃, a holding time of 60-120min, and a heating rate of 2-5℃ / min to the required calcination temperature.

[0019] Further, in the preparation method of the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, the second calcination in step (2) has the conditions of: a calcination temperature of 1100-1200℃, a holding time of 30-90min, and a heating rate of 2-5℃ / min to the required calcination temperature.

[0020] Further, in the preparation method of the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate, the particle size of the green balls in step (1) is 3-9mm.

[0021] The particle size of the composite green balls in step (2) is 5-11mm.

[0022] The application further provides application of the lightweight high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate in building materials.

[0023] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) The raw materials of the present invention include iron tailings CaO ≥ 20 wt%, municipal sludge organic matter ≥ 50 wt%, and a high content of fluxing metal oxides in the mixed raw materials. Furthermore, a binder, fully alcoholyzed polyvinyl alcohol, is added. During the calcination process, a large amount of burnout occurs, resulting in the formation of numerous micron- and nano-scale pores within the ceramsite, thereby reducing the density of the ceramsite, increasing the total porosity, and roughening the surface. Furthermore, granite sawdust contains SiO₂ ≥ 65 wt%, and iron tailings contain SiO₂ ≥ 35 wt%. High-temperature calcination forms a small amount of molten phase, which adheres to the solid phase surface after cooling to form a strong skeleton, thereby increasing the strength of the ceramsite and reducing its hydrochloric acid solubility.

[0025] (2) The present invention adopts a wrapping form, wherein the inner layer is mainly a raw material ball mixed with municipal sludge and iron tailings, and the outer layer is mainly a shell mixed with granite sawdust and iron tailings. In the lightweight and high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite prepared by the present invention, the raw materials of the inner layer mainly contain CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and organic matter. During the heating process, a large amount of organic matter is burned away and releases gases such as CO2 and H2O, forming a large number of in-situ pores, which significantly reduces the bulk density of the ceramsite aggregate. In addition, during the firing process, the sludge carbon remaining in the municipal sludge reduces the Fe2O3 in the iron tailings, and accompanied by the release of gas, it causes expansion to form a porous structure, further reducing the bulk density of the ceramsite aggregate. In addition, in the presence of Fe2O3 as a flux, SiO2 and Al2O3 form high-strength mullite and anorthite, which provide strength for the inner layer structure of the ceramsite aggregate.

[0026] (3) In the lightweight, high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite prepared by the present invention, the raw materials for the outer layer mainly contain CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3. During the calcination process, components such as quartz (SiO2) and feldspar (Al2O3·SiO2) melt to form a glass phase. After cooling, a dense shell phase is formed, which adheres to the surface of the inner layer. The bonding effect of the glass body strengthens the bonding between the particles. Among them, the sintering process generates mullite crystals. The high strength, density, and thermal stability of the outer layer formed by them significantly improve the overall strength and corrosion resistance of the ceramsite aggregate.

[0027] (4) In the lightweight, high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate prepared by the present invention, the SiO2 content in the raw materials of the outer layer is greater than that in the inner layer. This makes the Fe2O3 in the iron tailings have a more significant effect on the outer layer when playing a fluxing role. The liquid phase in the outer layer is more than that in the inner layer and appears earlier than the inner layer. As a result, after cooling, only a small amount of glass phase is produced in the inner layer, and a large amount of glass phase is produced in the outer layer, which is evenly wrapped on the surface of the inner layer, converting the open pores of the inner layer into closed pores, forming a dense and hard shell, reducing the overall water absorption rate, improving the overall corrosion resistance, and retaining the closed pore structure of the inner layer. While improving the strength, the low bulk density of the aggregate is retained.

[0028] (5) The bulk density of the ceramsite provided by the present invention is 0.65 to 0.92 g / cm 3 , strength of 26.37-35.83 MPa, cylinder pressure strength of 33.81-46.07 MPa, total porosity of 56-78%, water absorption of 0.42-1.56%, and hydrochloric acid solubility of 0.14-0.37%. The lightweight, high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite aggregate prepared by the present invention has the advantages of low bulk density, high strength, and low hydrochloric acid solubility. The rough surface helps to form a mechanical bite effect in concrete, thereby improving the strength of ceramsite aggregate concrete. The raw materials used in the present invention are iron tailings, municipal sludge, and granite sawdust, all of which are large-scale solid wastes. This fully realizes the comprehensive utilization of iron tailings, municipal sludge, and granite sawdust resources, has the advantages of high resource utilization rate and low production cost, and solves the problem of large accumulation of iron tailings, municipal sludge, and granite sawdust resources. At the same time, the process of the present invention solidifies the heavy metals in the raw materials, and the finished ceramsite aggregate can be directly incorporated into concrete, achieving the purpose of solid waste utilization and solving the problem of large accumulation of iron tailings and municipal sludge.

[0088] From the above examples, it can be seen that the present invention provides a lightweight and high-strength solid waste-based ceramsite with a bulk density of 0.65 to 0.92 g / cm 3 , strength is 26.37~35.83MPa, cylinder pressure strength is 33.81~46.07MPa, total porosity is 56~78%, water absorption is 0.42~1.56%, hydrochloric acid solubility is 0.14~0.37%, and it has the advantages of high mechanical strength, low bulk density, high closed porosity, low water absorption, low hydrochloric acid solubility, rough surface for easy adhesion, strong corrosion resistance, and moderate particle size. Its preparation raw materials include iron tailings, urban sludge, and granite sawdust. Tailings are waste residues produced after mineral mining, granite sawdust is waste chips produced during stone processing, and urban sludge refers to muddy or semi-solid wastes produced during urban construction, public facilities maintenance, and urban water treatment. This method uses tailings, granite sawdust, and municipal sludge to prepare ceramsite, which can reduce the environmental damage and safety hazards caused by solid waste accumulation. Using the prepared ceramsite as lightweight aggregate for building concrete can promote the efficient conversion of solid waste resources into green building materials, aiding the large-scale application of low-carbon scenarios such as prefabricated buildings and sponge cities, while also enhancing the value of the circular economy industry chain. This method for preparing ceramsite lightweight aggregate has important implications for the high-value-added utilization of bulk solid waste and the green, high-performance development of concrete materials.

[0089] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
