Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, and in particular to a special mortar for solid waste-based autoclaved aerated concrete walls and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy and the continuous advancement of construction technology, aerated concrete block mortar has experienced rapid growth due to its superior performance. The application of solid waste in aerated concrete block mortar can improve its performance, reduce costs, and decrease resource and energy consumption, aligning with the requirements of a low-carbon and environmentally friendly era. In recent years, my country has achieved certain results in the research and application of solid waste in aerated concrete block mortar.
[0003] Aerated concrete (AAC) walls are lightweight (dry density 500-700 kg / m³). 3 With its advantages such as thermal insulation (thermal conductivity of 0.12-0.18 W / (m·K)), it has become a core material for building energy-saving projects. However, the technical bottleneck of its special mortar has long restricted the quality and durability of walls, mainly manifested in:
[0004] Interfacial bonding failure:
[0005] AAC blocks have a water absorption rate as high as 65%-70% (far exceeding the 5% of ordinary concrete). Traditional mortar absorbs water rapidly, leading to incomplete cement hydration. Actual measurements show that the 14-day tensile bond strength of ordinary mortar on AAC substrate is only 0.15-0.30 MPa (lower than the ≥0.40 MPa required by national standard JG / T230-2007), and the hollow rate exceeds 5% (the limit in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's "Code for Acceptance of Masonry Engineering Quality" GB 50203 is ≤3%), causing frequent plaster layer detachment accidents.
[0006] Uncontrolled shrinkage cracking:
[0007] The drying shrinkage value of AAC blocks is approximately 0.4 mm / m, while that of ordinary mortar reaches 0.35 mm / m (the national standard JGJ / T 70-2009 requires ≤0.20%). This mismatch in deformation results in a wall cracking rate of 12 cracks per 100m. 2 (2022 Survey Report by China Academy of Building Research). Especially in cold regions, the superposition of frost heave stress can cause cracks to reach 1-2 mm in width, threatening structural safety.
[0008] Resource dependence and pollution:
[0009] Traditional mortar relies on natural river sand (fineness modulus 2.3-3.0) and silicate cement, consuming 350 kg of cement and 700 kg of sand per ton of mortar. According to statistics from the China Sand and Gravel Association, over-exploitation of natural sand has led to a depletion rate of over 60% of river sand resources in the Yangtze River basin, and cement production emits carbon emissions of 0.82 t-CO2 / t. Meanwhile, the annual discharge of solid waste from metallurgical mines (such as iron ore tailings powder) exceeds 1.5 billion tons (Ansteel Group 2023 annual report), accumulating on 68,000 hectares of land, with the utilization rate of S95 grade mineral powder less than 30%. Summary of the Invention
[0010] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a special mortar for solid waste-based autoclaved aerated concrete walls and its preparation method, which has the technical effects of solid waste resource utilization and environmental protection benefits, super strong bonding and crack prevention system, improved freeze-thaw durability, optimized construction performance, improved workability and energy saving and economic optimization.
[0011] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a special mortar for autoclaved aerated concrete walls based on solid waste, which is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 280-320 parts of solid waste-based cementitious material, 650-750 parts of silica sand, 8-15 parts of solid waste material and 0.2-0.5 parts of cellulose admixture.
[0012] Furthermore, the solid waste-based cementitious material is PSB 32.5 grade cement;
[0013] The solid waste is S95 grade mineral powder with a specific surface area ≥400m². 2 / kg, activity index ≥95%.
[0014] Furthermore, the silica sand has a particle size range of 0.25 mm to 0.5 mm and a bulk density ≥ 1700 kg / m³. 3 .
[0015] Furthermore, the cellulose admixture is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) with a viscosity grade of 400 mPa·s.
[0016] Furthermore, the mortar has a water retention rate of ≥99.5%, a 28-day compressive strength of ≥20.0 MPa, a 14-day tensile bond strength of ≥0.60 MPa, and a shrinkage rate of ≤0.20%.

[0018] A method for preparing special mortar for autoclaved aerated concrete walls based on solid waste includes the following steps:
[0019] S1: Put solid waste-based cementitious materials, silica sand, and solid waste into a mixer and dry mix them;
[0020] S2: Dissolve the cellulose admixture in 20% to 30% of the total water volume to form a premixed solution;
[0021] S3: Add the premixed solution to the dry mixture and mix and stir;

[0024] The mixing speed is 60-80 r / min.
[0025] The total water consumption is 18% to 22% of the total weight of the raw materials.
[0026] on the other hand:
[0027] Application of solid waste-based autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) wall mortar: Solid waste-based AAC wall mortar is used for the construction or plastering of AAC blocks, with the water-cement ratio controlled at 0.50 to 0.60.
[0028] Furthermore, the construction environment temperature for the solid waste-based autoclaved aerated concrete wall mortar is ≥5℃, the initial setting time of the mortar is ≤5h, and the final setting time is ≤8h.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this invention can achieve are:
[0030] Solid waste disposal capacity: 80-150 kg of metallurgical mining solid waste (S95 mineral powder) can be consumed for every 1 ton of mortar produced, achieving a 100% resource utilization rate of metallurgical solid waste;

[0032] Reduced raw material costs: The unit price of mineral powder is only 34% of that of cement (120 yuan / ton vs. 350 yuan / ton), and large-scale production can save 200 yuan / ton in raw material costs.
[0033] Mineral powder micro-filling effect (specific surface area ≥400m²) 2 The combined effect of HPMC film-forming effect (viscosity 300-500mPa·s) and the synergistic effect of the film-forming effect (viscosity 300-500mPa·s) results in a 14-day tensile bond strength of 0.60-0.67MPa (national standard ≥0.40MPa) and a hollow rate of ≤0.2% (commercially available products ≥5%).
[0034] The 28-day shrinkage rate is ≤0.20% (national standard ≤0.20%), which is 43% lower than that of ordinary mortar (0.35%), reducing the risk of wall cracking by 80%.
[0035] The active components of the mineral powder (CaO+Al2O3≥65%) generate dense hydration products. After 50 freeze-thaw cycles at -20℃, the strength loss is only 2.1% (national standard ≤20%), and the service life is extended to 50 years (ordinary mortar is about 30 years).
[0036] Water retention control: HPMC forms a three-dimensional water film at the silica sand interface, with a water retention rate of ≥99.5% (national standard ≥99.0%), reducing the moisture evaporation rate by 37% during high-temperature construction;
[0037] A consistency of 70-90mm ensures a slurry slip ratio of 110±5mm, increasing mechanical spraying efficiency by 40% (85m). 2 / person / day vs 60m 2 );
[0038] With an opening time of ≥45 minutes, it solves the problem of joint plastering over large areas, reducing the rework rate by 90%.
[0039] Thermal performance optimization: thermal conductivity 0.24W / (m·K) (national standard ≤1.1), when used in conjunction with autoclaved aerated concrete blocks, building heating energy consumption is reduced by 15%;
[0040] Overall cost advantages: Raw material costs are reduced by 200 yuan per ton, and repair and maintenance costs are reduced by 40-50 yuan per square meter. Attached Figure Description
