AI Technical Summary
The existing alkali-activated red mud-based slag mortar backfill material has low compressive strength, which increases the structural risk of the backfill material.
Activated red mud was prepared by mixing red mud with chemical activators and grinding aids, followed by ball milling and aging. This activated red mud was then compounded with water glass. The high alkalinity of the red mud and the activation of the silica-alumina phase within the activated red mud matrix partially replaced the water glass, resulting in a synergistic effect that improved compressive strength. Calcium oxide expander was further modified with a modifier to enhance the overall effect.
It significantly improves the compressive strength of alkali-activated red mud-based slag mortar backfill material and reduces structural risk.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mortar backfill material, in particular to an alkali-activated red mud-based slag mortar backfill material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Red mud, as a high-alkaline waste residue, can replace traditional alkali activators (such as NaOH) to cooperatively prepare cementitious materials with slag, fly ash and other industrial solid wastes, which not only solves the problem of red mud storage pollution, but also reduces the amount of chemical activators. This system utilizes the natural alkalinity of red mud to activate the activity of waste residue, significantly improves the defects of ordinary slag mortar such as low early strength and large shrinkage, and realizes the resource utilization and value-added of solid waste.
[0003] However, the red mud produced by the Bayer process has low activity and poor activation effect when mixed with mortar for backfilling, which may result in a decrease in compressive strength and increase the risk of structural damage to the backfill material. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an alkali-activated red mud-based slag mortar backfill material with high compressive strength. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides an alkali-activated red mud-based slag mortar backfill material and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problem of low compressive strength of alkali-activated red mud-based slag mortar backfill material in related technologies.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the specific surface area of the slag micro-powder is 300-550 m 2 / kg.
[0009] As a further technical solution, the calcium oxide expanding agent is also modified by a modifier; The modifier is methyl stearate and silane coupling agent KH-550.
[0010] As a further technical solution, the modification process includes the following steps: first, the prepared modifier solution is sprayed onto the calcium oxide powder, and the modifier is uniformly coated by stirring at 40-80 DEG C for 10-15 min, then the reaction is ensured by continuing to stir at 40-80 DEG C for 20-40 min, finally the modified product is dried at 100-140 DEG C for 1-3 h for curing, to obtain the surface-modified calcium oxide expanding agent.
[0011] In the application, the calcium oxide expanding agent is modified by methyl stearate and silane coupling agent KH-550, which further improves the compressive strength of the alkali-activated red mud-based slag mortar backfill material.
[0012] As a further technical solution, in the modifier solution, the mass ratio of silane coupling agent KH-550 to methyl stearate is 10:3-7; The amount of the modifier added is 1%-4%.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the water reducing agent is a polycarboxylic acid type water reducing agent.

[0015] The working principle and beneficial effects of the application are: In the application, the red mud is activated by mixing with a chemical activator and a grinding aid, and the activated red mud and water glass are compounded, which effectively reduces the use of alkali activator, and proposes a new treatment method for the stacked red mud, which can utilize the high alkalinity of the red mud itself and the activation of the silicon-aluminum phase in the activated red mud, to partially replace the alkali activation effect of water glass, and synergistically act with the water glass to supplement the activity [SiO4] 4- , and improve the compressive strength of the alkali-activated red mud-based slag mortar backfill material.
