Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanomaterials, specifically to a nanomaterial-modified geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete and its construction process. Background Technology

[0002] Existing silicate cement production processes generate excessive carbon dioxide emissions, while geopolymers are considered a promising green and low-carbon alternative. Compared to ordinary concrete, geopolymer production can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 80%. Among various geopolymer systems, those using fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag as primary precursors have broad application prospects due to their wide availability of raw materials, superior performance in some areas, and suitability for utilizing large quantities of industrial solid waste. Therefore, this invention aims to apply geopolymers to concrete to obtain high-performance concrete materials. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nanomaterial-modified geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete with excellent 28-day compressive strength.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A nanomaterial-modified geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete, the preparation process of which includes: Preparation of nano-alumina modified geopolymer slurry A: Mix 100-120g of fly ash and 50-60g of granulated blast furnace slag evenly, add to 200-220g of water, mix and stir, then add 32-35g of sodium silicate and 3.5-3.8g of sodium hydroxide, then add 12.5-14.0g of nano-alumina and stir evenly. The average particle size of the nano-alumina is 47-192nm. Preparation of nanomaterial-modified geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete: Add 60-80g of silicate cement, 1.8-2.0g of sodium sulfate, 0.8-0.9g of sodium stearate and 1.5-1.8g of polyacrylamide to 120-150g of water, mix and stir, and then pour into nano-alumina-modified geopolymer slurry A to obtain nanomaterial-modified geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete.

[0005] Preferably, the amount of fly ash used is 100g.

[0006] Preferably, the amount of granulated blast furnace slag used is 60g.

[0007] Preferably, the average particle size of the nano-alumina is 150 nm.

[0008] Preferably, the 28-day compressive strength of the concrete is greater than 50 MPa.

[0009] Preferably, the fly ash comprises: SiO2 42-43wt%, Al2O3 31-33wt%, CaO 8-9wt%, Fe2O3 5-6wt%, K2O 1.5-2.5wt%; and the granulated blast furnace slag comprises: SiO2 31-33wt%, Al2O3 15-16wt%, CaO 40-41wt%, MgO 4.5-5.5wt%, TiO2 1-2wt%.

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a construction process for a nanomaterial-modified geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete, wherein the construction process uses the aforementioned nanomaterial-modified geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete.

[0011] This invention utilizes nano-alumina to modify geopolymers, significantly improving the compressive strength of geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete. Studies show that as the particle size of nano-alumina increases, the compressive strength of geopolymer-based self-compacting concrete initially increases and then decreases. In practice, to achieve a 28-day compressive strength greater than 50 MPa, the average particle size of the nano-alumina should be controlled between 47 nm and 192 nm.
