AI Technical Summary
The comprehensive utilization rate of tungsten tailings is low, and traditional tailings aggregates have insufficient strength and high water absorption, making it difficult to meet the requirements of coarse aggregates for concrete. Furthermore, the mining of natural sand and gravel leads to ecological damage.
Using tungsten tailings powder as the core aggregate, combined with composite binders and auxiliary additives, concrete coarse aggregate is prepared through a two-step mixing method of dry premixing and wet homogenization. It is then statically pressed and cured with gradient steam to improve strength and reduce water absorption.
It achieves solid waste utilization with a tungsten tailings powder content of up to 70%, and the prepared aggregate has a crushing index of ≤18% and a water absorption rate of ≤2.8%, which can partially replace natural aggregates in concrete, reduce environmental pollution and lower costs.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of building materials and solid waste resource utilization, and particularly relates to a method for preparing coarse aggregate for concrete by using tungsten tailing powder through a bonding forming process. BACKGROUND
[0002] The annual discharge amount of tungsten tailings generated by tungsten ore processing is huge, and long-term stacking not only occupies land resources, but also causes soil and water pollution due to the soluble impurities contained therein. At present, the comprehensive utilization of tungsten tailings is mainly concentrated in the fields of admixture and microcrystalline glass, but there are problems such as low utilization rate and complex process.
[0003] The coarse aggregate for concrete traditionally relies on natural sandstone, and overexploitation leads to ecological destruction, so it is urgent to develop alternative materials. The existing tailing aggregate preparation technology mainly uses a single binder, and has defects such as insufficient strength and high water absorption, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of type II aggregate. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a bonding forming process with high tailing content and high performance. SUMMARY
[0004] Therefore, the application provides a concrete coarse aggregate with high tungsten tailing powder content and excellent mechanical properties and a preparation method thereof, realizing large-scale utilization of solid waste and partial replacement of natural aggregate.
[0005] The technical scheme of the application is implemented as follows:
[0006] (1) Raw material selection
[0007] Tungsten tailing powder: after pretreatment, the particle size and chemical composition meet the standards, and the tungsten tailing powder serves as a core aggregate substrate;
[0008] Composite binder: cement provides basic strength, modified starch enhances interface bonding, and sodium polyacrylate improves the workability of the slurry and reduces the water absorption rate;
[0009] Framework aggregate: waste granite particles form a support structure to reduce the shrinkage of the formed product;
[0010] Auxiliary additive: water reducing agent optimizes fluidity, and adjusting agent controls setting time.
[0011] (2) Preparation process innovation points
[0012] The two-step mixing method of "dry mixing and pre-mixing + wet mixing and homogenization" is adopted to solve the problem of easy agglomeration of the tailing powder; static pressure forming controls the green density to lay a foundation for strength development; gradient steam curing avoids temperature stress cracking and promotes the full hydration of the binder.
[0013] (3) Beneficial effects
[0014] Environmental benefits: tungsten tailings powder content up to 70%, annual consumption of 50-100 tons per production line, reducing solid waste pollution;
[0015] Performance advantage: crushing index ≤18%, water absorption ≤2.8%, better than existing tailings aggregate;
[0016] The aggregate prepared by the process can replace 5-30% of natural aggregate for concrete preparation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Specific embodiment one:
[0018] (1) Raw material ratio (mass %): tungsten tailings powder 75%, P·O42.5 cement 12%, modified starch 3%, polyacrylic acid sodium 0.8%, waste granite particles 8%, polycarboxylic acid water reducer 0.4%, gypsum powder 0.8%;
[0019] (2) Preparation process: after drying and screening the tailings powder, dry mixing for 2.5 min, wet mixing for 4 min, 18 MPa static pressure forming, gradient steam curing and airing for 4 days;
[0020] (3) Performance test: crushing index 15.2%, water absorption 2.5%, cylinder pressure strength 12.3 MPa, meeting the requirements of class II aggregate. Specific embodiment two:
[0022] (1) Raw material ratio (mass %): tungsten tailings powder 80%, P·O42.5 cement 10%, modified starch 2%, polyacrylic acid sodium 0.8%, waste granite particles 6.6%, polycarboxylic acid water reducer 0.3%, gypsum powder 0.3%;
[0023] (2) Preparation process: after drying and screening the tailings powder, dry mixing for 2.5 min, wet mixing for 4 min, 18 MPa static pressure forming, gradient steam curing and airing for 4 days;
[0024] (3) Performance test: crushing index 17.0%, water absorption 2.7%, cylinder pressure strength 11.8 MPa, meeting the requirements of class II aggregate. Specific embodiment three:
[0026] (1) Raw material ratio (mass %): tungsten tailings powder 70%, P·O42.5 cement 15%, modified starch 3%, polyacrylic acid sodium 1.0%, waste granite particles 10%, polycarboxylic acid water reducer 0.5%, gypsum powder 0.5%;
[0027] (2) Preparation process: after drying and screening the tailings powder, dry mixing for 2.5 min, wet mixing for 4 min, 18 MPa static pressure forming, gradient steam curing and airing for 4 days;
[0028] (3) Performance test: crushing index 13.0%, water absorption 2.7%, cylinder compressive strength 12.8 MPa, meeting the requirements of Class II aggregate.
[0029] In addition, concrete tests are carried out on three embodiments and a comparative sample, and in the concrete mix proportion test, the amount of artificial aggregate replacing gravel is 30%:
[0030] After the concrete mix proportion test, the test results are as follows:
[0031] Table 1 Concrete mix proportion (unit: kg / m 3 )
[0032]
[0033] Table 2 Concrete performance test results of comparative sample and embodiments (30% dosage)
[0034]
[0035]
[0036] According to the test results, when the tungsten tailings powder bonded aggregate for concrete is applied to concrete, the physical and mechanical properties of the prepared concrete can meet the requirements, and the performance is better than that of the comparative sample, so it can directly replace part (5-30%) of natural aggregate for concrete production.
[0037] In summary, in the technical scheme of the present application, since the tungsten tailings powder bonded aggregate for concrete uses tailings as raw material, not only the cost can be reduced, but also the natural environment can be improved, meeting the environmental protection requirements of low carbon and carbon reduction, promoting the sustainable development of mine resources, and having important significance for environmental protection.
[0038] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
