Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of low-carbon building materials technology, specifically to a high-strength, ultra-retarded setting supersulfate cement material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] Supersulfate cement (SSC) is a low-carbon cementitious material composed of a small amount of cement clinker and a large amount of industrial byproducts such as gypsum and slag. It is characterized by its simple preparation, environmental friendliness, low energy consumption, and good resistance to sulfate attack. Replacing traditional silicate cement with supersulfate cement helps reduce carbon emissions and is an effective means of achieving a green transformation in the cement industry. Due to its slower hydration and hardening rate, supersulfate cement is more suitable for applications in deep well solidification and deep well backfilling compared to silicate cement and sulfoaluminate cement. This is because cementing operations require pumping cement slurry to the bottom of the well and back through the annulus to the predetermined depth, which typically takes a considerable amount of time. During this period, the cement slurry must maintain good flowability. However, increased downhole temperature significantly accelerates the cement hydration reaction, causing the cement slurry to solidify in a shorter time. If the cement slurry solidifies before reaching the target location, it can clog the wellbore or delivery pump, leading to cementing failure.
[0004] While adding retarders (such as lignin sulfonates, hydroxycarboxylic acids, organophosphonates, cellulose derivatives, and carbohydrate compounds) can extend the setting time of hypersulfate cement, these traditional retarders typically only function effectively at room temperature. In the special environment of deep wells, the high temperature and pressure can significantly reduce their retarding effect, or even render them ineffective. Furthermore, the addition of retarders can decrease the mechanical strength of cement materials. Some retarders (such as citric acid and borax) can adsorb onto the surface of slag particles, forming a semi-permeable or impermeable layer that hinders the contact between slag particles and water, inhibits slag hydration, and reduces the amount of cementitious products generated. In addition, alkali-activated components in hypersulfate cement (such as...) , The supersulfate cement interacts with the retarder, negating its retarding effect. Therefore, exploring supersulfate cement suitable for deep well scenarios is key to its engineering application. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the application provides a high-strength super-retarding super-sulfate cement material and a preparation method and application thereof. The composite retarder has better stability, can effectively improve the setting time of the super-sulfate cement material in a high-temperature environment, and greatly improves the mechanical strength of the super-sulfate cement material in the whole age period. Specifically, the technical method of the application is as follows.
[0006] Firstly, the application provides a high-strength super-retarding super-sulfate cement material, which comprises raw materials in the following proportions: 75-85 parts by weight of a slag cementitious component, 10-20 parts by weight of gypsum, 0.5-5 parts by weight of an alkaline activator, 1-5 parts by weight of a composite retarder, 0.35-1 part by weight of a water reducing agent, and 0.2-1 part by weight of a defoaming agent. The composite retarder is composed of components in the following proportions: 2-3 parts by weight of a fluorosilicate, 8-10 parts by weight of a sulphoaluminate cement, and iron sulfate, wherein the content of the iron sulfate is 1.2-1.5 times that of the fluorosilicate.
[0007] Further, the fluorosilicate comprises at least one of sodium fluorosilicate, potassium fluorosilicate, etc.
[0008] Further, the slag cementitious component comprises mineral powder and fly ash. Alternatively, the proportion of the mineral powder and the fly ash is 7-8 parts by weight: 0.5-1.5 parts by weight.
[0009] Further, the gypsum comprises at least one of phosphogypsum, hemihydrate gypsum, dihydrate gypsum, etc.
[0010] Further, the alkaline activator comprises at least one of calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ordinary Portland cement, etc.
[0011] Further, the water reducing agent comprises at least one of a polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent, a naphthalene water reducing agent, a lignin sulfonate water reducing agent, etc.
[0012] Further, the defoaming agent comprises at least one of an organic silicon defoaming agent, a polyether defoaming agent, a non-silicon defoaming agent, etc.
[0013] Further, the raw materials further comprise 18-30 parts by weight of mixing water.
[0014] Secondly, the application provides a preparation method of the high-strength super-retarding super-sulfate cement material, which comprises the following steps: (1) The slag cementitious component, the gypsum and the alkaline activator are mixed and ground to obtain a mixed powder.
[0015] (2) The mixed powder is uniformly mixed with the composite retarder, and then the water reducing agent and the defoaming agent are added and uniformly mixed.
[0016] Further, in step (1), the specific surface area of the mixed powder is ≥400m². 2 / kg.
[0017] Furthermore, step (2) also includes the step of adding mixing water. Optionally, the water-reducing agent, defoamer, and mixing water are added together.
[0018] Finally, this invention provides the application of the high-strength, ultra-retarded, supersulfate cement material in deep well solidification, deep well underground filling, and other engineering projects.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes a composite retarder composed of fluorosilicate, sulfoaluminate cement, and ferric sulfate to not only improve the setting time of hypersulfate cement materials under high-temperature conditions but also significantly enhance their mechanical strength throughout their entire lifespan. This is because, on the one hand, some of the fluorosilicates hydrolyze in the alkaline environment provided by the alkaline activator (…). )release It combines with calcium ions released from the surface of the slag cementitious components and sulfoaluminate cement particles to form a calcium fluoride coating layer, reducing the contact between the slag cementitious components and sulfoaluminate cement and water, thereby delaying their hydration reaction and increasing the time required for solidification and hardening. Simultaneously, due to the better thermal stability of the calcium fluoride coating layer, it can prevent decomposition and failure during transportation. On the other hand, another portion of the fluorosilicate reacts with ferric sulfate in an alkaline environment provided by an alkaline activator (…). ), forming complexes The coating on the surface of the slag cementitious components and sulfoaluminate cement particles also helps to slow down their hydration reaction rate. Additionally, the ferric sulfate and the slag cementitious components released during the early hydration process... The reaction forms ferric hydroxide (Fe(OH)2) Colloidal substances, which adsorb and coat the surface of slag cementitious components, also slow down the hydration process.
[0020] Once the supersulfate cement material is delivered, the calcium fluoride and complexes on the surface of the slag cementitious particles and sulfoaluminate cement particles... Under the combined effects of high temperature and alkaline conditions, it gradually begins to decompose. This allows the slag cementitious components and sulfoaluminate cement to come into more complete contact with water, accelerating hydration. On the one hand, the calcium fluoride decomposes and releases... As a highly efficient nucleating agent, it provides numerous nucleation sites for the precipitation of hydration products, while simultaneously releasing... The above processes can promote the formation of the hydrated cementitious product. Meanwhile, the hydration of the sulphoaluminate cement can quickly build up the support skeleton to provide good early strength for the cementitious material. On the other hand, the fluorosilicate reacts with the ferric sulfate to form calcium hydroxide, the hydration product of the slag cementitious component, to further form calcium silicate hydrate , which also contributes to the improvement of the mechanical strength of the cementitious material. The can effectively supplement the sulfate required for the formation of the ettringite, the hydration reaction product, to prevent the formation of flaky monosulfate type hydrated calcium sulphoaluminate in the early stage of hydration due to the insufficient sulfate provided by the gypsum, which has much weaker interlocking ability between the crystals than ettringite, affecting the early mechanical strength of the cementitious material.
