[0044] The sludge ash is first mixed with the slag and the steel slag to obtain a mixed powder;

[0045] After water is added to the mixed powder for second mixing, the alkali activator is added to the obtained mixture for third mixing, and then the water reducing agent is added for fourth mixing to obtain the slurry.

[0047] After the slurry is obtained, the slurry is sequentially subjected to shaping, pre-curing and carbonation curing in the present application to obtain a carbonated artificial aggregate inner embryo.

[0048] In the present application, the forming method is preferably: the slurry is sequentially extruded and cut. In the present application, the extrusion and cutting are preferably performed by a double-screw material cutting machine (i.e. cutting while extruding), and in an embodiment of the present application, the cutting is cutting the extruded material into small cylinders. In an embodiment of the present application, after the cutting, the obtained cutting material (i.e. small cylinders) is preferably subjected to shape optimization, which is preferably performed in a coating machine, and specifically, the shape of the cutting material is converted into a spherical shape by rotating the coating machine.

The present application uses carbonation process to make the alkaline substances in the raw materials absorb carbon dioxide to generate carbonates with high strength (for example, calcium-containing mineral phases (including free calcium oxide) can absorb carbon dioxide to convert into calcium carbonate with high strength, and free magnesium oxide is also carbonated), thereby accelerating the strength development of the aggregate and solving the problem of poor volume stability of the steel slag. Moreover, carbonation of the material with carbon dioxide can fix carbon dioxide in the aggregate, realize carbon dioxide capture and utilization, help to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the carbonation process avoids high-temperature firing, which can greatly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.

[0054] In the present application, the components of the cement mortar can be mixed uniformly, specifically, the silica fume, fly ash, slag, cement and sand can be mixed and stirred uniformly, then water is added and stirred by a mortar stirrer, and then the water reducing agent is added after uniform stirring.

[0055] In the present application, the specific operation of the encapsulation is preferably that the carbonized artificial aggregate inner embryo is immersed in the cement mortar, and fully stirred to make the aggregate fully wrapped by the cement mortar slurry. Figure 1 The process schematic diagram of the encapsulation is that the carbonized artificial aggregate inner embryo is prepared in advance, and then encapsulated by using the cement mortar shell.

[0056] In the present application, the curing is preferably carried out in a standard curing room, that is, the encapsulated aggregate is taken out and placed in the standard curing room for curing.

[0078] 3. Preparation of sludge-based polymer carbonized artificial aggregate

[0079] The specific steps are as follows:

[0080] (1) Weighing: according to the design ratio in Table 4, use an electronic balance to weigh the required blast furnace slag powder, sludge ash, and steel slag; use a measuring cup to weigh the required water and polycarboxylic acid water reducer for standby; add sodium hydroxide to the water glass with a modulus of 2.4 to adjust the modulus to 2.0 as an alkali activator;

[0081] (2) Powder mixing: pour all the weighed powders into the mortar mixer, first stir at low speed for 3 min, then stir at medium speed for 2 min, so that the powders are fully mixed and evenly distributed;

[0082] (3) Inner embryo slurry preparation: pour the water reserved in step (1) into the mortar mixer of (2), stir at low speed for 3 min, then stir at medium speed for 3 min, add the pre-prepared alkali activator, stir at low speed for 3 min, then pour in the polycarboxylic acid water reducer, stir at low speed for 3 min, then stir at medium speed for 3 min, to obtain the slurry; the stirring speed at low speed is 60 rpm, and the stirring speed at medium speed is 120 rpm;

[0083] (4) Inner embryo shaping and pre-curing: pour the slurry prepared in step (3) into a double-screw material cutting machine for extrusion and cutting to obtain several small cylinders; then pour the small cylinders into a coating machine in multiple times for shape optimization to be converted into spherical shape, and then perform wet curing (humidity RH is 90%, temperature is 25°C, and time is 12h) to preliminarily harden the particles;

[0084] (5) Carbonization curing: use a carbonization box to adjust the CO2 concentration to 30% (volume fraction); the pressure is 0.5 MPa, the inner embryo after curing in step (4) is accelerated for carbonization, the temperature is 50°C, the humidity RH is 60%, and the carbonization time is 12h, to obtain the carbonized artificial aggregate embryo;

[0087] (8) Performance test: the compressive strength test was carried out by using a pressure testing machine, including the compressive strength test of the carbonized artificial aggregate (i.e. the pre-encapsulation compressive strength) obtained after carbonization and curing, and the compressive strength test of the test piece (i.e. the post-encapsulation compressive strength) obtained after encapsulation and curing. Each proportion was tested six times to obtain an average value, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0089]

[0090] As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-10, the strength of the aggregate reaches a higher level when the sludge ash content is 40%, and the strength decreases with the increase of the sludge ash content. In addition, the carbonization effect of steel slag and slag is compared, and when the sludge ash content is certain, the higher the steel slag content, the better the performance of the test piece, which further indicates that the carbonization is more sufficient and the carbon sequestration effect is better.
