TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of building materials, and in particular relates to a green recycled aggregate strengthening method based on multi-element composite modification. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of building engineering, the resource utilization of waste concrete is mainly realized by preparing recycled aggregate through mechanical crushing. The traditional recycled aggregate strengthening technology mainly adopts surface treatment methods such as cement mortar wrapping method, chemical solution soaking method and mineral admixture modification method to improve the physical and mechanical properties of recycled aggregate. These methods play an important role in road base materials, low-grade concrete and mortar preparation engineering applications. By forming a strengthening layer on the surface of recycled aggregate, the overall performance of the aggregate is improved, providing an effective way for the reduction and resource utilization of construction waste. However, the traditional strengthening method mainly relies on the adhesion and shallow penetration of the strengthening material on the surface of the recycled aggregate. Due to the complex porous structure and irregular pore distribution characteristics of the recycled aggregate, the strengthening material mainly exists in the form of liquid in the conventional soaking and coating process. Its flow in the micro-pore is severely restricted by factors such as capillary resistance, surface tension and poor pore connectivity, making it difficult for the strengthening material to penetrate into the deep pore structure inside the aggregate. In the current recycled aggregate strengthening engineering practice, due to the limited penetration depth of the strengthening material, it can usually only reach the surface layer of the aggregate within a few millimeters, while a large number of pores and micro-cracks inside the aggregate cannot be effectively filled and modified. These un-strengthened internal weak areas are prone to become stress concentration points and failure sources under load, seriously affecting the overall strength and durability of the recycled aggregate. That is, the existing technology has the technical problem of insufficient penetration depth of the recycled aggregate strengthening material. SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the present application provides a green recycled aggregate strengthening method based on multi-element composite modification, which can solve the technical problem of insufficient penetration depth of the recycled aggregate strengthening material in the prior art.
[0004] The application is implemented in the following manner: the application provides a green recycled aggregate strengthening method based on multi-element composite modification, which sequentially coarsely crushes, medium crushes and finely crushes waste concrete, screens recycled aggregate particles, analyzes particle size distribution data by using a rough set theory knowledge discovery method, prepares a nano-SiO2 dispersion liquid and performs surface modification treatment, prepares a composite cementitious material and a composite cement slurry, immerses the recycled aggregate particles in the composite cement slurry for centrifugal stirring and curing treatment to obtain a cementitious material strengthened aggregate, places the cementitious material strengthened aggregate in a supercritical fluid infiltration device, applies vibration assistance in a supercritical CO2 state for infiltration treatment to obtain a supercritical strengthened aggregate, immerses the supercritical strengthened aggregate in a composite chemical solution and a nano-SiO2 sol in sequence after vacuum treatment, processes multi-source process data by using a rough set theory knowledge discovery method and adjusts process parameters according to a strength improvement rate, performs final performance detection on the chemical strengthened aggregate and establishes a strengthened aggregate performance evaluation model, and realizes deep infiltration modification of the strengthened material into the internal pore structure of the recycled aggregate by using the supercritical fluid infiltration technology combined with the vibration assistance means.
[0005] In the step of sequentially coarsely crushing, medium crushing and finely crushing the waste concrete, the waste concrete is sequentially coarsely crushed by a jaw crusher, medium crushed by a cone crusher and finely crushed by an impact crusher, and the recycled aggregate particles with a particle size in a specified range are screened by a vibrating screen.
[0006] In the rough set theory knowledge discovery method, the dependence function between the condition attributes and the decision attributes is calculated to identify the key process parameters affecting the strengthening effect of the recycled aggregate, eliminate redundant attributes and extract a minimum decision rule set, and establish a decision rule set of the particle size and the subsequent strengthening effect.
[0007] In the step of preparing the nano-SiO2 dispersion liquid, the C 19 H 42 NBr is mixed with water, a dispersant and a stabilizer, high-energy ultrasonic dispersion and mechanical stirring are combined to establish a nano-particle dispersion stability evaluation system.
[0008] In the surface modification technology, the nano-SiO2 particles are functionalized by using the surface modification technology, the surface of the nano-SiO2 particles is chemically modified, functional groups and dispersant molecules are introduced, the chemical properties and charge distribution state of the particle surface are changed, and the electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance effect between the particles are enhanced.
[0009] In the step of preparing the composite cementitious material, the cement, silica fume and fly ash are weighed and prepared into a composite cementitious material, water is added to the composite cementitious material to prepare a composite cement slurry, and the recycled aggregate particles are immersed in the composite cement slurry for centrifugal stirring and curing treatment.
[0010] The supercritical fluid infiltration device comprises a high-pressure reaction kettle, a CO2 supply system, a temperature control system, and a vibration generator. The high-pressure reaction kettle serves as the main container and is internally provided with multiple layers of sieve plates for placing the recycled aggregate particles. The CO2 supply system compresses and heats CO2 through a high-pressure pump to make CO2 reach a supercritical state.
[0011] The vibration-assisted infiltration step specifically applies vibration assistance through a vibration generator. The vibration generator uses an electromagnetic vibrator to generate mechanical vibrations with adjustable frequency and amplitude. The vibrations are transmitted to the inside of the reaction kettle through a vibration transmission device, generating microscopic disturbances and stress wave propagation in the recycled aggregate particles.
[0012] The vacuum treatment step specifically involves placing the supercritically reinforced aggregate into a vacuum chamber to adjust to a negative pressure state for a predetermined time. This breaks the gas resistance and liquid resistance in the pores, promotes the penetration of the reinforcing material into the deep pore structure of the aggregate, and improves the penetration efficiency and uniformity of distribution.
[0013] The composite chemical solution specifically comprises a C2H4O polymer solution and a Na2SiO3 solution. The supercritically reinforced aggregate after vacuum treatment is first immersed in the composite chemical solution for soaking, and then placed in a nano-SiO2 sol for soaking. The penetration depth of the solution and the pore filling rate are monitored during the soaking process.
[0014] The C 19 H 42 NBr is hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, also written as CHBrN.
[0015] The nano-silica sol treatment step specifically involves placing the aggregate treated by the composite chemical solution in a nano-silica sol for soaking. The nano-silica sol can deeply penetrate into the smallest pore structure inside the aggregate for full filling and modification, forming a comprehensive reinforcement system from the surface to the core.
[0016] The multi-source process data specifically include soaking time, solution concentration, curing temperature, penetration pressure, vibration frequency, vibration amplitude process control parameters, and solution penetration depth, pore filling rate process monitoring parameters. The multi-source process data in the reinforcement process are processed using rough set theory knowledge discovery method.
[0017] The importance weight and dependency coefficient specifically involve calculating the importance weight and dependency coefficient of each process parameter. The importance weight is obtained by calculating the influence degree of each process parameter on the reinforcement effect. The dependency coefficient is obtained by analyzing the correlation strength between the process parameters and the reinforcement results.
[0018] The step of adjusting the process parameters according to the strength improvement rate is specifically: measuring the strength improvement rate of the chemically strengthened aggregate; when the strength improvement rate is in a first interval, maintaining the current process parameters; when the strength improvement rate is in a second interval, adjusting the soaking time; and when the strength improvement rate is in a third interval, optimizing the compound chemical solution ratio.
[0019] The nanoparticle dispersion stability evaluation system is specifically: monitoring the particle size distribution change of the nano-SiO2 particles in the nano-SiO2 dispersion liquid through a laser particle size analyzer, measuring the particle surface potential by using a Zeta potential instrument, measuring the particle sedimentation velocity by using a sedimentation analyzer, calculating the aggregation index parameter, and establishing a dispersion stability evaluation model.
[0020] The step of final performance detection and establishing the strengthened aggregate performance evaluation model is specifically: performing final performance detection on the chemically strengthened aggregate, measuring the water absorption reduction amplitude and the apparent density improvement rate, establishing the strengthened aggregate performance evaluation model, and outputting the strengthened recycled aggregate meeting the engineering requirements.
[0021] The present application realizes the effective penetration of the strengthened material into the deep pore structure of the recycled aggregate by adopting the supercritical fluid penetration technology combined with the vibration auxiliary means, and solves the technical problem of limited penetration depth of the traditional strengthening method. The present application utilizes the unique physical properties of supercritical carbon dioxide, such as liquid density and gas viscosity, under certain pressure and temperature conditions, can overcome the flow resistance and mass transfer limitation encountered by conventional liquid strengthening materials in the micro-pore structure, through the high diffusivity and low viscosity characteristics of supercritical fluid, the strengthened components such as composite cementitious materials and nano-silicon dioxide can penetrate into the smallest pore structure inside the recycled aggregate. The present application applies controllable frequency and amplitude mechanical vibration in the supercritical penetration process, generates micro disturbance and stress wave propagation effect, effectively breaks the gas resistance and liquid resistance in the pore, significantly improves the penetration efficiency and penetration depth of the strengthened material inside the aggregate, and expands the strengthening treatment from the traditional surface modification to the all-around strengthening of the entire aggregate core.

The reason why the rough set theory knowledge discovery method is suitable for the present scheme is that the strengthening process of recycled aggregate involves the complex coupling of multiple process parameters such as soaking time, solution concentration, curing temperature, and osmotic pressure. Traditional optimization methods are difficult to handle the nonlinear relationship between parameters and data uncertainty, while the rough set theory knowledge discovery method can mine implicit decision rules from a large amount of experimental data, effectively handle the incompleteness and fuzziness in the data through the concepts of upper approximation set and lower approximation set. The rough set theory knowledge discovery method calculates key indicators such as importance weight matrix, attribute dependency coefficient, and decision rule confidence parameters for each process parameter, identifies the parameter combination mode with the greatest impact on the strengthening effect, establishes a data-driven process optimization strategy, and improves the stability and controllability of the strengthening process.

[0039] The multi-source process data includes process control parameters such as the soaking time, the solution concentration, the curing temperature, the penetration pressure, the vibration frequency, the vibration amplitude, and process monitoring parameters such as the solution penetration depth and the pore filling rate.
[0040] The importance weight is obtained by calculating the influence degree of each process parameter on the strengthening effect, and the dependency coefficient is obtained by analyzing the correlation strength between the process parameters and the strengthening result.
[0041] The specific implementation of the above steps is described in detail below.
[0042] The specific implementation of step S01 is that the waste concrete raw material is first sent to a jaw crusher for primary coarse crushing treatment, the crushing cavity opening is set to 100-150 mm, the eccentric shaft drives the jaw plate to make periodic reciprocating motion to generate extrusion and shearing force to crush the large concrete into medium-sized blocky materials with a particle size of 50-80 mm. Then the coarsely crushed concrete block material is transported to a cone crusher for secondary medium crushing treatment, the material particle size is further refined to 20-40 mm through the extrusion action between the moving cone and the fixed cone by using the cone crushing principle. Finally, the tertiary fine crushing treatment is performed by a impact crusher, the material is further refined by the impact crushing action of the high-speed rotating plate hammer combined with the rebound effect of the impact plate. The crushed concrete material after three-stage crushing is classified and screened by a vibrating screen, the vibrating screen has a double-layer screen mesh structure, the upper layer screen hole diameter is 25 mm, and the lower layer screen hole diameter is 5 mm, and the qualified recycled aggregate particles with a particle size of 5-25 mm are screened out. The recycled aggregate particles after screening are subjected to particle size distribution statistical analysis, the particle size distribution data are processed by using the rough set theory knowledge discovery method, the method is based on the equivalence relation and indiscernibility relation principle, the particle size range is taken as the condition attribute and the subsequent strengthening effect index is taken as the decision attribute by constructing a decision table, the influence degree of each particle size interval on the strengthening effect is calculated, and a decision rule set between the particle size and the strengthening effect is established to provide data support for subsequent process parameter adjustment.
[0043] The embodiment of step S02 is to prepare a high-stability nanosilica dispersion system. First, the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is mixed with 100 parts of deionized water at a mass ratio of 0.1-0.3 parts at room temperature to form a cationic surfactant solution. Then, an appropriate amount of dispersant and stabilizer are added. The dispersant is polyvinylpyrrolidone, and the addition amount is 2-5% of the mass of nanosilica. The stabilizer is sodium citrate, and the addition amount is 1-3% of the mass of nanosilica. Surface modification technology is used to functionalize the nanosilica particles. A chemical bond is formed on the surface of the nanoparticles by the silane coupling agent molecule, changing the chemical properties and charge distribution state of the particle surface. Specifically, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is used as a coupling agent to perform hydrolysis reaction in an alkaline environment with a pH value of 8-9. The formed silanol groups condense with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of nanosilica to introduce amino functional groups on the particle surface. Combined with high-energy ultrasonic dispersion technology, the ultrasonic power is set to 400-600 W, the frequency is 20-40 kHz, and the processing time is 15-30 minutes. The micro-jet and shock wave generated by the ultrasonic cavitation effect break the agglomeration structure between the particles. At the same time, a mechanical stirring system is used, the stirring speed is 800-1200 rpm, and the stirring time is 60-120 minutes to ensure uniform distribution of nanoparticles in the dispersion liquid. An evaluation system for the dispersion stability of nanoparticles is established. The particle size distribution change is monitored in real time by a laser particle size analyzer. The fluid mechanics diameter of the particles is measured by dynamic light scattering principle, and the monitoring frequency is once every 30 minutes. The particle surface potential is measured by a Zeta potential instrument to evaluate the strength of the electrostatic repulsion between particles. The absolute value of Zeta potential should be maintained above 30 mV to ensure good dispersion stability. The particle settling velocity is measured by a sedimentation analyzer, the aggregation index parameter is calculated, and a mathematical model for evaluating the dispersion stability is established.
[0044] The specific implementation of step S03 is to prepare the composite cementitious reinforcement system and perform the preliminary aggregate reinforcement treatment. Accurately weigh 60-100 parts of ordinary Portland cement as the main cementitious component, 5-10 parts of silica fume as the active admixture, and 20-40 parts of fly ash as the auxiliary cementitious material by weight ratio. The addition of silica fume utilizes its high specific surface area and pozzolanic activity to undergo secondary hydration reactions with cement hydration products, improving the density and strength of the cementitious material. The addition of fly ash is based on its latent hydraulicity and morphological effects, which undergo a pozzolanic reaction with calcium hydroxide in an alkaline environment to generate hydrated calcium silicate gel with cementitious properties. The above three materials are thoroughly mixed in a dry powder state, with a mixing time of 10-15 minutes to ensure uniform distribution of the components. Gradually add 20-50 parts of water to the composite cementitious material, strictly control the water-cement ratio within the range of 0.2-0.3, and use mechanical stirring to prepare the composite cement slurry, with a stirring speed of 150-200 rpm and a stirring time of 5-8 minutes to ensure good fluidity and uniformity of the slurry. The screened recycled aggregate particles are completely immersed in the composite cement slurry, and an intermittent centrifugal stirring reinforcement treatment process is used, with centrifugal stirring every 5-15 minutes, each stirring time of 60-90 seconds, and a centrifugal stirring speed of 300-500 rpm, repeated for 3 times. The purpose of this process is to promote the penetration of the composite cement slurry into the internal pores of the aggregate using centrifugal force, while removing air bubbles and impurities in the pores. After completing the immersion treatment, the aggregate is placed together with the slurry in a constant temperature curing box at 40-80°C for curing, with a curing time of 6-8 hours, and the relative humidity is maintained above 90% during the curing process to promote the hydration reaction and strength development of the cement. After curing, remove excess water through drying treatment, with a drying temperature of 105-110°C and a drying time of 2-4 hours, to obtain the reinforced aggregate coated with composite cementitious material on the surface.
[0045] The specific implementation of step S04 is to perform deep reinforcement treatment using supercritical fluid infiltration technology. The cementitious reinforced aggregate is loaded into a supercritical fluid infiltration device, which uses a high-pressure reaction kettle as the main container, with multiple layers of stainless steel sieve plates inside the container for placing recycled aggregate particles, with a sieve plate spacing of 30-50 mm to ensure that the supercritical fluid can fully contact the surface of the aggregate. The CO2 supply system compresses liquid CO2 to a supercritical pressure of 7.38 MPa through a high-pressure plunger pump, and simultaneously heats the temperature to 31.1°C through an electric heater to make CO2 reach the supercritical state. Supercritical CO2 has the characteristics of close to liquid density and close to gas viscosity, with a density of about 0.47-0.50 g / cm 3, the viscosity is about 0.03-0.05 mPa·s, which can deeply penetrate into the finest pore structure of the aggregate. The temperature control system uses a proportional-integral-derivative controller to achieve accurate control of the reaction kettle temperature, with a control accuracy of ±0.5°C. The temperature sensor monitors and feeds back the temperature signal in real time to ensure the stability of the supercritical state. The vibration generator uses electromagnetic vibration principles to generate adjustable frequency and amplitude mechanical vibrations. The vibration frequency is set to 20-50 Hz, and the vibration amplitude is controlled within 0.1-0.5 mm. The vibration energy is transmitted to the inside of the reaction kettle through the vibration transmission device, generating microscopic disturbances and stress wave propagation effects inside the aggregate particles, breaking the gas and liquid resistance in the pores, and significantly improving the penetration efficiency and uniformity of the supercritical fluid. The entire penetration process lasts for 30-60 minutes. After the treatment is completed, the supercritical CO2 is released by slowly reducing the pressure to avoid damage to the internal structure of the aggregate, and the supercritically strengthened aggregate is obtained.
[0046] The specific implementation of step S05 is to achieve chemical strengthening of the aggregate by vacuum negative pressure pretreatment combined with composite chemical solution immersion. The supercritically strengthened aggregate is placed in a vacuum chamber, and the pressure in the chamber is adjusted to -2 kPa by a vacuum pump and maintained for 2 hours. The purpose of this pretreatment process is to remove air and moisture from the pores of the aggregate, creating favorable conditions for subsequent chemical solution penetration. Negative pressure treatment can reduce the gas pressure in the pores, reduce liquid penetration resistance, and improve the penetration depth of the chemical strengthening material. After vacuum pretreatment, the aggregate is first immersed in a composite chemical solution composed of polyvinyl alcohol solution and sodium silicate solution. The concentration of polyvinyl alcohol solution is 3-8%, and the concentration of sodium silicate solution is 5-12%. The two solutions are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1 to 2:1. Polyvinyl alcohol, as an organic polymer compound, can form a flexible film structure in the pores of the aggregate, improving the toughness and crack resistance of the aggregate. The sodium silicate solution reacts with the silicate components in the aggregate in an alkaline environment to form a cementitious silica gel that fills and seals the pore structure. The immersion time is 1-4 hours, and ultrasonic assistance is used during the immersion process with an ultrasonic power of 200-400 W to promote the penetration of the chemical solution into the deep pores of the aggregate. Subsequently, the aggregate is taken out of the composite chemical solution, rinsed briefly, and then placed in a nano-silica sol for secondary immersion treatment. The solid content of the nano-silica sol is 20-35%, and the pH value is adjusted to a weak alkaline range of 8-10. The nano-sized SiO2 particles in the nano-silica sol can penetrate into even finer pores and synergize with existing cementitious materials, further improving pore filling effectiveness. The secondary immersion time is 6-8 hours, and the penetration depth of the solution is monitored by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy during the immersion process. The mercury intrusion method is used to determine the pore filling rate to establish a real-time monitoring system to ensure the controllability of the strengthening effect.
[0047] The specific implementation of step S06 is to use the rough set theory knowledge discovery method to intelligently analyze and optimize the multi-source process data in the strengthening process. Collect multi-source process data in the strengthening process, including soaking time, solution concentration, curing temperature, osmotic pressure, vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, and other process control parameters, as well as solution penetration depth, pore filling rate, and other process monitoring parameters. The soaking time, solution concentration, curing temperature, and osmotic pressure are used as the condition attribute set, and the strength improvement rate, water absorption rate reduction amplitude, and pore filling rate are used as the decision attribute set to construct a rough set decision table. The decision degree of the condition attribute to the decision attribute is calculated by using a dependency function, which reflects the classification ability of the given condition attribute set to the decision attribute. The input parameters include the condition attribute set and the decision attribute set, and the output parameter is the dependency coefficient value, which ranges from 0 to 1. The closer the value is to 1, the higher the dependency degree. The importance degree of each process parameter is calculated by using an importance weight function, which evaluates the importance of a single attribute by comparing the dependency difference between the complete condition attribute set and the set after removing a single attribute. The input parameters include the complete condition attribute set and the condition attribute set after removing a certain attribute, and the output parameter is the importance weight value. Based on the calculation results, the key process parameter combination that has the greatest impact on the strengthening effect is identified, and a data-driven process optimization strategy is established. The strength improvement rate of the chemically strengthened aggregate is measured. When the strength improvement rate is in the range of 0-15%, the current process parameter settings are maintained, indicating that the process conditions are basically suitable. When the strength improvement rate is in the range of 15%-30%, the soaking time is increased by 20% to prolong the action time of the chemically strengthened material and the aggregate. When the strength improvement rate is in the range of 30%-50%, the mixed ratio of polyvinyl alcohol solution and sodium silicate solution is adjusted to improve the chemical reaction efficiency and strengthening effect.
[0048] The specific implementation of step S07 is to comprehensively detect the final performance and evaluate the quality of the chemically strengthened aggregate. The water absorption rate of the strengthened aggregate is measured by using a standard test method, the aggregate sample is dried at a temperature of 105°C until the weight is constant, and then the water absorption rate value is measured after soaking in water at room temperature for 24 hours, and the water absorption rate reduction rate relative to the original recycled aggregate is calculated. The apparent density of the strengthened aggregate is measured by the specific gravity bottle method or the drainage method, and the apparent density improvement rate relative to the original recycled aggregate is calculated. A mathematical model for evaluating the performance of the strengthened aggregate is established, which comprehensively considers the strength improvement rate, the water absorption rate reduction rate, the apparent density improvement rate and other performance indicators, and calculates the comprehensive performance evaluation index by the weighted average method. The input parameters of the model include the performance test data and the corresponding weight coefficients, and the output parameters are the comprehensive performance evaluation score and the judgment result of whether it meets the engineering requirements. For the strengthened recycled aggregate that meets the engineering requirements, the strength improvement rate should be more than 15%, the water absorption rate reduction rate should be more than 20%, and the apparent density improvement rate should be more than 8%. The quality control standard and the inspection process are established to ensure that the output of the strengthened recycled aggregate has stable and reliable engineering application performance.
[0049] It should be noted that the first key technical idea of the present application is to use supercritical CO2 fluid penetration combined with vibration-assisted deep strengthening technology. Supercritical CO2 has unique dual physical properties, both high density close to liquid and low viscosity close to gas, which enables it to overcome the technical limitations of traditional liquid strengthening materials that cannot penetrate into fine pores. The vibration-assisted technology further breaks down the pore resistance by generating micro disturbances and stress wave propagation, achieving efficient penetration of the strengthened material into the deep structure of the aggregate. Compared with the traditional liquid immersion strengthening method, this technology can significantly improve the penetration depth and uniformity, solving the problem of uneven strengthening caused by the complex internal pore structure of the recycled aggregate.
[0050] The second key technical idea is to establish an intelligent optimization system of process parameters based on rough set theory. The strengthening process of recycled aggregate involves complex coupling of multiple process parameters, and traditional empirical adjustment methods are difficult to handle the nonlinear relationship between parameters and data uncertainty. Rough set theory can effectively handle the incompleteness and fuzziness of process data through the concepts of upper and lower approximation sets, and can mine the implicit decision rules from a large amount of experimental data. This method identifies the key process parameters that affect the strengthening effect by calculating the attribute dependency and importance weight, establishes a data-driven adaptive optimization strategy, and significantly improves the stability and controllability of the strengthening process.
[0051] The third key technical idea is to build a multi-level synergistic reinforced composite material system. Through the multi-level processing mode of cementitious material pre-reinforcement, supercritical fluid deep penetration, and composite chemical solution surface modification, the synergistic reinforcement effect of different scales and mechanisms is realized. The pre-reinforcement of cementitious material mainly improves the surface structure and basic strength of aggregate, the supercritical fluid penetration realizes the effective filling of deep pores, and the composite chemical solution treatment further optimizes the surface performance and pore structure. This multi-level synergistic mechanism avoids the limitations of single reinforcement technology, and through the superposition and synergistic effect of different reinforcement mechanisms, the maximization of reinforcement effect is realized.
[0052] The synergistic effect of these key technical ideas shows significant comprehensive advantages compared with existing technologies. Traditional recycled aggregate reinforcement methods mainly rely on single surface treatment or simple chemical soaking, with limited reinforcement depth and unstable effect. The invention combines supercritical fluid deep penetration, rough set theory intelligent optimization, and multi-level synergistic reinforcement to build a comprehensive reinforcement technology system. The supercritical technology ensures the deep penetration of the reinforced material, the rough set theory realizes the accurate control of process parameters, and the multi-level synergistic mechanism ensures the comprehensiveness and durability of the reinforcement effect. The three technical ideas promote each other, and together solve the technical problems of insufficient reinforcement depth of recycled aggregate, difficult process control, and uneven reinforcement effect, significantly improving the comprehensive performance and engineering application reliability of recycled aggregate.
[0053] It should be noted that the present application also solves the technical problems that the lack of scientific guidance of process parameter optimization in the strengthening process of recycled aggregate leads to unstable strengthening effect. In the traditional strengthening process of recycled aggregate, there is a complex nonlinear coupling relationship between the soaking time, solution concentration, curing temperature, osmotic pressure and other process parameters. The setting of these parameters often depends on experience and trial-and-error method, lacks systematic theoretical guidance and quantitative analysis means, leading to large fluctuations in the strengthening effect of different batches of products, making it difficult to realize the standardization and reproducibility of the process. Especially when the characteristics of raw materials change, the traditional empirical parameter setting often cannot adapt to the new working conditions, affecting the stability of the quality of recycled aggregate products and the reliability of engineering applications. The present application introduces rough set theory knowledge discovery method to establish a data-driven process parameter optimization system. This method can effectively handle the uncertainty and fuzziness characteristics in the process data, quantitatively identify the key process parameters affecting the strengthening effect by calculating the dependency function between conditional attributes and decision attributes, evaluate the influence degree of each parameter by using the importance weight function, extract the minimum decision rule set and establish the parameter optimization knowledge base, realize the process optimization from experience-driven to data-driven, and through the hierarchical control strategy of strength improvement rate and the parameter self-adaptive adjustment mechanism, ensure the stable strengthening effect in different working conditions, significantly improve the controllability of the strengthening process of recycled aggregate and the consistency of product quality.
[0054] Specifically, the principle of the present application is that the core principle of the present application for solving the technical problem of insufficient penetration depth of recycled aggregate reinforced material is to break through the mass transfer limitation of traditional liquid phase penetration method in micro-pores by the unique mass transfer characteristics of supercritical fluid and the synergistic effect of multiple physical fields. Supercritical carbon dioxide is in a supercritical state at a pressure of 7.38 MPa and a temperature of 31.1℃. At this time, its density is close to that of a liquid and its viscosity is close to that of a gas. This unique physical property enables it to have extremely strong penetration ability, enabling it to quickly diffuse into nanoscale pores like a gas, while dissolving and carrying reinforcing material components like a liquid, thereby realizing an efficient mass transfer process in a complex pore network. The principle of vibration-assisted penetration technology is based on the dynamic effect of mechanical vibration in porous media. When the vibration frequency is in the range of 20-50 Hz, periodic micro-stress disturbances can be generated inside the recycled aggregate. This stress disturbance improves the pore connectivity through acoustic wave propagation mechanisms, destroys the liquid film resistance and bubble blocking effect on the pore surface, and provides more penetration channels and driving force for the reinforcing material, thereby significantly improving the penetration depth and penetration rate. The design logic of the multi-element composite reinforcement system is reflected in the synergistic penetration mechanism of different scale reinforcing materials. The gel product produced by the hydration process of silicate cement particles in the composite cementitious material can fill larger pores. The ultra-fine particles of silica fume and fly ash enter the medium pores through the pozzolanic reaction, and the surface-modified nano-silicon dioxide particles are specially designed to fill nano-scale pores, forming a multi-level penetration and filling system from macro to nano. Vacuum negative pressure pretreatment creates a negative pressure environment by removing the gas in the pores, providing a driving pressure difference for the subsequent deep penetration of the reinforcing material. The sequential chemical reinforcement treatment forms a dense protective layer on the pore wall surface through the polymerization reaction of polyvinyl alcohol and sodium silicate solution, and the final penetration of nano-silica sol realizes the fine filling of residual micropores. The rough set theory knowledge discovery method establishes a nonlinear mapping relationship between the penetration depth and the process parameters, quantitatively analyzes the influence degree of each parameter on the penetration effect by using the dependency function and the importance weight function, realizes the intelligent optimization control of the penetration process, and ensures that the reinforcing material can reach the maximum penetration depth.

[0117] In order to better understand and implement the present application, the following provides an embodiment 2 of a specific application scenario of the present application: a technical team needs to process 5000 tons of waste concrete from a demolition project of an old residential area to prepare strengthened recycled aggregate meeting the engineering requirements for a new road engineering. The batch of waste concrete mainly comes from the structure of a 30-year-old residential building, and the concrete strength grade is C25, containing part of the steel bars and other impurities.
[0118] Step one: waste concrete crushing treatment
[0119] The technical team first manually sorted the waste concrete, removed impurities such as steel bars and wood, and then sent the cleaned concrete blocks to a jaw crusher for coarse crushing. The jaw crusher crushing chamber opening was set to 120 mm, and the eccentric shaft speed of the moving jaw plate was 250 rpm. After coarse crushing, medium-sized blocky materials with a particle size of 50-75 mm were obtained. Then the coarse crushed material was sent to a cone crusher for medium crushing, and the cone crusher speed was set to 300 rpm. After processing, the material particle size was controlled within 25-35 mm. Finally, the fine crushing was carried out by the impact crusher, the plate hammer speed was set to 1450 rpm, and the gap between the impact plates was adjusted to 15 mm. After fine crushing, the concrete crushed material was screened by a double-layer vibrating screen, the vibration frequency was 50 Hz, and the vibration amplitude was 5 mm. A total of 3200 tons of qualified recycled aggregate particles with a particle size of 5-25 mm were screened out.
[0120] The technical team used a particle size distribution analyzer to measure the particle size distribution of the screened recycled aggregate, and established a decision table containing conditional attributes such as particle size range, particle shape coefficient, and surface roughness. Through rough set theory analysis, it was found that particles with a particle size of 8-15 mm were most beneficial to subsequent strengthening, with a dependency coefficient of 0.78 and an importance weight of 0.82.
[0121] Step two: preparation of nano-silica dispersion liquid
[0122] The technical team prepared a high-stability nano-SiO2 dispersion liquid system. Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide surfactant was mixed with 100 parts of deionized water at a mass ratio of 0.2 parts at 25°C for 15 minutes. Polyvinylpyrrolidone dispersant was added to the mixed solution, with an addition amount of 3% of the mass of nano-SiO2. Sodium citrate stabilizer was added in an amount of 2% of the mass of nano-SiO2. Gamma-aminopropyl triethoxysilane was used as a coupling agent for surface modification of nano-SiO2 particles, and hydrolysis and condensation reactions were carried out at a pH of 8.5 for 30 minutes. Combined with high-energy ultrasonic dispersion technology, the ultrasonic power was set to 500 W, the frequency was 25 kHz, and the treatment time was 20 minutes. At the same time, mechanical stirring was carried out at a stirring speed of 1000 rpm for 90 minutes.
[0123] The nano-particle dispersion stability evaluation system established by the technical team showed that the average particle size of the functionalized nano-SiO2 particles was 25 nm, the Zeta potential was -35 mV, and there was no obvious aggregation and sedimentation phenomenon within 72 hours, with an aggregation index of less than 0.15, indicating good dispersion stability.
[0124] Step three: strengthening treatment of composite cementitious materials
[0125] The technical team weighed ordinary Portland cement 80 parts, silica fume 8 parts, fly ash 30 parts to prepare composite cementitious material. After mixing the three materials in a dry powder mixer for 12 minutes, 35 parts of water were added to the composite cementitious material, and the water-cement ratio was controlled at 0.3. A composite cement slurry was prepared by high-speed stirring at a stirring speed of 180 revolutions per minute for 6 minutes. The 500 kg of screened recycled aggregate particles were completely immersed in the composite cement slurry, and an intermittent centrifugal stirring process was used, with centrifugal stirring every 10 minutes, each stirring time being 75 seconds, the centrifugal speed being 400 revolutions per minute, and the operation being repeated 3 times. After completing the immersion treatment, the aggregate was placed together with the slurry in a 60°C constant temperature curing box for curing for 7 hours, and the relative humidity was kept at 95%. After curing, the aggregate was dried at 108°C for 3 hours to obtain the surface-coated composite cementitious material reinforced aggregate.
[0126] Step four: supercritical fluid infiltration strengthening
[0127] The technical team loaded the cementitious material reinforced aggregate into the high-pressure reaction kettle of the supercritical fluid infiltration device, and set 5 layers of stainless steel sieve plates inside the reaction kettle with a spacing of 40 mm. Liquid CO2 was compressed to 7.38 MPa by a high-pressure plunger pump, and the temperature was raised to 31.1°C by an electric heater to make CO2 reach the supercritical state. The PID temperature controller has a control accuracy of ±0.3°C to ensure the stability of the supercritical state. The electromagnetic vibration generator generates mechanical vibration with a frequency of 35 Hz and an amplitude of 0.3 mm, and the vibration energy is transmitted to the inside of the reaction kettle through a vibration transmission device. The whole infiltration process lasts for 45 minutes, and the density of supercritical CO2 during the process is 0.48 g / cm 3 , the viscosity is 0.04 mPa·s, and it can deeply penetrate into the micro-pores of 5-20 μm inside the aggregate.
[0128] As shown in Figure 2 , the pressure and temperature change curves during the supercritical fluid infiltration process show that the system reaches a stable supercritical state within the first 10 minutes, and then remains stable until the end of the process. The vibration auxiliary action significantly improves the infiltration efficiency of the supercritical fluid, and the infiltration depth is improved by 32% compared to the non-vibration treatment.
[0129] Step five: chemical strengthening treatment
[0130] The technical team placed the supercritical reinforced aggregates into a vacuum chamber and adjusted the pressure inside the chamber to -2 kPa using a vacuum pump for 2 hours. After the vacuum pretreatment, the aggregates were immersed in a composite chemical solution prepared by mixing a 5% polyvinyl alcohol solution and an 8% sodium silicate solution at a volume ratio of 1.5:1. The immersion time was 2.5 hours, and ultrasonic assistance was applied at a power of 300 W during the immersion process. Subsequently, the aggregates were rinsed and then immersed in a nano-silica sol with a solid content of 28% and a pH of 9.2 for a second immersion time of 7 hours.
[0131] The mercury intrusion method showed that the pore filling rate of the chemically reinforced aggregates was 73%, which was 45% higher than that of the original recycled aggregates.
[0132] Step six: Process data analysis and optimization
[0133] The technical team collected multi-source process data during the reinforcement process, as shown in Table 1:
[0134] Table 1 Process parameters and corresponding reinforcement effect data table
[0135]
[0136] The data was analyzed using the rough set theory knowledge discovery method, with immersion time, solution concentration, curing temperature, and penetration pressure as condition attributes, and strength improvement rate, water absorption reduction rate, and pore filling rate as decision attributes. The importance weight of immersion time was calculated to be 0.76, the importance weight of solution concentration was calculated to be 0.68, the importance weight of curing temperature was calculated to be 0.52, and the importance weight of penetration pressure was calculated to be 0.43. The dependency function calculation result showed that the dependency coefficient of the current process parameter combination was 0.85, indicating that there was a strong decision relationship between the process parameters and the reinforcement effect.
[0137] Based on the analysis results, the technical team found that the strength improvement rate of the current batch of aggregates was 23%, which was within the range of 15% to 30%, so the immersion time was adjusted from 2.5 hours to 3.0 hours, increasing the processing time by 20%. The adjusted process parameters further improved the reinforcement effect.
[0138] Step seven: Final performance testing and evaluation
[0139] The technical team conducted a comprehensive final performance test on the chemically reinforced aggregates. The aggregate samples were dried at 105°C until constant weight, and then immersed in water at room temperature for 24 hours to measure the water absorption rate. The results showed that the water absorption rate of the reinforced aggregates was 2.8%, which was 38% lower than the water absorption rate of the original recycled aggregates, which was 4.5%. The apparent density of the reinforced aggregates was measured by the drainage method to be 2.68 g / cm 3, the apparent density of the original recycled aggregate is 2.46 g / cm 3 , the compressive strength of the strengthened aggregate reaches 78 MPa, and the strength improvement rate is 26% compared with 62 MPa of the original recycled aggregate.
[0140] As shown in Figure 3 , the performance change curve of the strengthened aggregate at different processing stages shows that the performance is preliminarily improved after the composite cementitious material treatment, the performance is significantly improved after the supercritical fluid infiltration treatment, and the chemical strengthening treatment further optimizes the performance indicators. The performance evaluation model established by the technical team has a comprehensive score of 87, which exceeds the 80-point standard required by the engineering.
[0141] Among the finally prepared 3200 tons of strengthened recycled aggregate, 3050 tons of products meet the engineering requirements, and the qualified rate is 95%. The strength improvement rate of this batch of strengthened recycled aggregate reaches 26%, the water absorption rate decreases by 38%, and the apparent density improvement rate reaches 9%, and all indicators meet the technical requirements of the aggregate for road engineering.
[0142] Compared with the traditional recycled aggregate processing method, the technical progress brought by the present application mainly embodies the following aspects. The traditional method usually only uses single physical treatment or chemical treatment, and the strengthening effect is limited and unstable. The present application adopts multi-element composite modification technology, which organically combines composite cementitious material coating, supercritical fluid infiltration and chemical strengthening treatment, and realizes the all-round strengthening of recycled aggregate from the surface to the inside. The unique physical properties of supercritical CO2 enable it to overcome the limitations of traditional liquid strengthening materials that cannot penetrate into fine pores, significantly improving the penetration depth and distribution uniformity of the strengthening material. The application of rough set theory knowledge discovery method realizes the intelligent optimization of process parameters, compared with the traditional experience adjustment method, it can more accurately identify the key process parameters and establish a data-driven optimization strategy, improving the controllability and stability of the strengthening process. The vibration-assisted infiltration technology effectively breaks down the resistance in the pores by generating micro disturbances and stress wave propagation inside the aggregate, significantly improving the strengthening efficiency compared with static soaking treatment. The multi-stage chemical strengthening system improves the strength, toughness and durability of the aggregate through the synergistic effect of organic polymer materials and inorganic silicate materials, overcoming the defects of single strengthening material performance incompleteness.
