Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building materials technology, and relates to a marine corrosion-resistant cementitious material based on metallurgical solid waste and a composite mineralization activator, and its preparation method. Specifically, it relates to a marine environment corrosion-resistant cementitious material and its preparation method that uses metallurgical industrial solid waste (manganese steel slag, red mud, nickel-iron slag) as the main raw material and is activated by a composite mineralization activator. This material is suitable for concrete structure engineering in seawater erosion environments, including but not limited to seawall revetments, cross-sea bridge pile foundations, offshore wind power foundations, port terminals, and deep-sea drilling platforms, etc., in harsh corrosive environments. Background Technology

[0002] Marine engineering concrete is exposed to high-salt, high-humidity environments for extended periods, facing a dual degradation mechanism of chloride ion penetration and sulfate attack. Studies have shown that chloride ions in seawater... - It penetrates into the concrete through capillaries, when the surface of the reinforcing steel Cl - Concentration exceeding the critical threshold (0.6-0.9 kg / m³) 3 When SO4 is present, it will cause the passivation film to rupture, leading to rust expansion, and SO4 will cause this. 2- It reacts with cement hydration products to form expansive ettringite (3CaO·Al2O3·3CaSO4·32H2O), exacerbating structural cracking. The chloride ion diffusion coefficient of traditional silicate cement is generally higher than 5×10⁻⁶ after 28 days. -12 m 2 / s, and the 180-day sulfate erosion resistance strength loss rate exceeds 30%, which is difficult to meet the long-term life design requirements of cross-sea bridges.

[0003] Existing improvement technologies mainly employ two approaches: one involves incorporating 30-50% slag powder and adding sodium sulfate as an activator, which reduces the chloride ion diffusion coefficient to 3.2 × 10⁻⁶. -12 m 2 / s, but still requires more than 40% cement clinker, and the purity requirements of industrial sodium sulfate lead to a 45% increase in cost; secondly, red mud-based cementitious materials are used, but 10% nano SiO2 needs to be added to improve activity, which increases production cost by 2,000 yuan / ton, and there is a problem of volume instability caused by free alkali metal ions.

[0004] In existing metallurgical solid waste utilization technologies, while compound formulations can achieve high solid waste content, they are limited to the simple superposition of calcium-silicon-aluminum components, making it difficult to synergistically activate the activity of multiple elements such as iron and magnesium. This results in insufficient compressive strength and limited impermeability of the materials. The difference in chemical composition between steel slag and red mud easily leads to a loose structure and high porosity in hydration products, with a still relatively high chloride ion diffusion coefficient. Traditional activators are not adaptable to multi-component systems, and the large amount of unreacted active components left behind not only wastes resources but also causes volume expansion problems in the later stages, further exacerbating pore coarsening and harmful ion penetration. Such materials face durability bottlenecks in the harsh environment of the deep sea and cannot meet the requirements for long-term service.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of cementitious material that can achieve high content (≥60%) of metallurgical solid waste, and overcome the contradiction between impermeability, volume stability and cost control of existing materials through multi-component synergistic activation technology, so as to meet the stringent durability requirements of marine engineering.

First, the metallurgical solid waste powder is added to a mixing device, then an appropriate amount of water is added, followed by the composite mineralization activator. After stirring evenly, the auxiliary components are added, and then an appropriate amount of water is added a second time. The mixture is stirred evenly again, with the total amount of water added being 40-60% of the total mass of each component.

[0009] Preferably, the metallurgical solid waste powder includes manganese steel slag powder, red mud, and nickel iron slag, with a mass ratio of (3-5):(2-4):1.

[0013] Preferably, the auxiliary components include borax and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ether in a mass ratio of (0.5-1.5):(0.3-1.5).

[0014] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the manganese steel slag powder to the red mud is 3:2, and the amount of nickel iron slag added is 10-15% of the total solid waste mass.

[0015] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the marine corrosion-resistant cementitious material contains 1-2% nano-alumina by mass of the composite mineralization activator.

[0016] The preparation method of the above-mentioned marine corrosion-resistant cementitious material according to a specific embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

The composite mineralization activator is a compound of calcined calcium mirabilite and calcined alunite in a mass ratio of (1.5-2):1.

[0018] Specific preparation methods include:

The total amount of water added is 40-60% of the sum of the mass of each component.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include:

By rationally proportioning manganese steel slag powder, red mud, and nickel-iron slag, and controlling their specific surface area and chemical composition, a synergistic effect is achieved among the metallurgical solid waste powders, providing a good foundation for the cementitious material's cementitious performance. The composite mineralization activator is a compound of calcined calcium sulfate ore treated under specific proportions and calcination conditions with calcined alunite, and the addition of nano-alumina effectively activates the activity of the metallurgical solid waste powder, improving the hydration reaction rate and degree of the cementitious material, thereby enhancing the material's early and later strength.

Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that any technical feature and implementation scheme within this embodiment does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.

[0028] Manganese steel slag powder refers to the powder material obtained by grinding the waste slag generated during the smelting of manganese alloy steel or high manganese steel. It mainly originates from the electric arc furnace (EAF) or basic oxygen furnace (BOF) smelting processes in the steel industry. In smelting manganese alloy steel, a certain amount of metallic manganese or ferromanganese alloy is added as alloying elements to achieve the required mechanical properties (such as high strength, high toughness, and wear resistance). The slag and flux generated during the smelting process mainly consist of calcium silicate, iron and manganese oxides, etc. After cooling, crushing, magnetic separation (recovering scrap iron), and then grinding to the specified fineness, manganese steel slag powder is obtained.

[0029] Compared with traditional steel slag, manganese steel slag has a unique mineral composition and activity due to its higher content of manganese oxides (MnO, etc.). This invention utilizes its high CaO content (≥40%) as the main source of calcium and alkaline activation conditions. At the same time, elements such as manganese and iron can also participate in the reaction under the action of a composite activator, which plays a positive role in the formation of a dense microstructure.

[0030] Nickel-iron slag, also known as nickel slag, is an industrial waste generated during the production of nickel-iron alloy using the RKEF (Rotary Kiln-Electric Furnace) process, also known as the "rotary kiln-electric arc furnace" method. This process is currently the mainstream technology for pyrometallurgical smelting of laterite nickel ore. The specific process is as follows: laterite nickel ore with high moisture content is dried and pre-reduced in a rotary kiln, then fed into an electric arc furnace for high-temperature smelting. Nickel and some iron in the ore are reduced and melted into a nickel-iron alloy liquid, while gangue components in the ore (such as SiO2, MgO, CaO, Al2O3) react with the flux to form slag that floats to the surface. After separating from the molten metal, it is quenched (granulated) with water or air-cooled to form nickel-iron slag.

[0031] Lateritic nickel ore is rich in magnesium, so a significant characteristic of nickel-iron slag is its high MgO content (typically 8%-20%). This invention specifically selects nickel-iron slag with an MgO content of 8-12% to utilize its MgO component. Under the sulfate and aluminate environment provided by the composite activator, MgO can participate in the formation of substances such as magnesium aluminum spinel (MgAl2O4) or, more importantly, layered bimetallic hydroxides (LDHs, such as Mg-Al-Cl LDHs). The LDH structure can effectively "capture" and solidify chloride ions in the environment, which is one of the key mechanisms for achieving an extremely low chloride ion diffusion coefficient in this invention. This solves the stability problems that MgO may cause in traditional materials, turning a potential hazard into a benefit.

[0032] The manganese steel slag powder of this invention must meet the following requirements: specific surface area ≥ 500 m² / kg, CaO content ≥ 40%. A high specific surface area increases the contact area with the activator, accelerating the reaction, optimizing porosity, and synergistically improving impermeability with nano-Al₂O₃. High CaO content provides an alkaline environment, facilitates the formation of ettringite to support early strength of ≥ 50 MPa at 28 days, and also prevents later strength reduction. The red mud contains ≥ 15% Fe₂O₃, which, under the action of the composite activator, can be converted into an iron-cemented phase to improve density (freeze-thaw loss rate < 5%). 3+ It can complex with chloride ions (combination rate ≥70%) and react with nickel-iron slag MgO to form Mg-Fe-Al LDHs to resist seawater corrosion (strength > 58MPa); the MgO content of nickel-iron slag needs to be controlled at 8-12%, which is a necessary condition for the formation of Mg-Al-Cl LDHs, and can prevent expansion or insufficient formation. The LDHs nanosheets can also be interspersed with ettringite network to block cracks, so that the cementitious material reaches a strength of 65MPa after 10 months. Traditional cement does not have this structure, so the chloride ion diffusion coefficient is much higher.

[0033] The mixing order in this invention must not be reversed. In the relevant processes, the operation must be carried out in the order of "first adding metallurgical solid waste powder, then adding composite mineralization activator, and finally adding auxiliary components," with each step having a clear scientific purpose. Adding the metallurgical solid waste powder first is to establish an alkaline environment with a pH > 12.5, dissolving the Ca in it. 2+ SiO4 4- Plasma lays the foundation for subsequent activation reactions. If the order is reversed, allowing the activator to directly contact the liquid phase, it will trigger local over-reaction, generating amorphous products that block active sites. For example, in Example 2, when the order was reversed, the intensity decreased by 9.8% after 28 days. The subsequently added composite mineralization activator can allow the calcined calcium sulfate ore (providing SO4) to react in an alkaline medium. 2- ) and calcined alunite (providing Al) 3+ Gradually release ions, which react with the Ca dissolved from the solid waste. 2+ Mg 2+The synergistic formation of ettringite and LDHs framework is achieved, and the activator must contain 1-2% premixed nano-alumina by mass to ensure preferential dispersion of nanoparticles in the system and prevent them from being encapsulated and deactivated by solid waste. Finally, among the auxiliary components added, borax can form [B4O5(OH)4] under highly alkaline conditions. 2- The complex extends the initial setting time of C3A in manganese steel slag from 5 min to 45 min. HPMC needs to be added in the later stage of ion release to prevent its chain coiling at temperatures above 40℃, which would lead to a 50% loss in viscosity.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention controls the MgO content in nickel-iron slag to be 8-12%, and under the sulfate and aluminate environment provided by the composite activator, MgO reacts with Ca... 2+ Al 3+ The synergistic formation of Mg-Al-Cl LDHs layered double hydroxides exhibits a typical lamellar morphology, effectively capturing and solidifying chloride ions with a chloride ion binding rate ≥70%; while... Figure 2 As shown, when the MgO content in nickel-iron slag exceeds 12% (e.g., 15% in Comparative Example 3-3), a stable LDH layered structure cannot be formed, resulting in a significant increase in microporosity, leading to an 18% loss in compressive strength and a decrease in impermeability. Simultaneously, the 1-2% nano-alumina added to the composite mineralization activator can act as crystal nuclei, promoting LDH crystal growth and improving structural stability. Without the addition of nano-alumina (Comparative Example 4-1), the chloride ion diffusion coefficient increases to 2.7 × 10⁻⁶. -12 m² / s.

[0035] In the following examples, the amount of water added is not strictly required and can be adjusted according to the actual situation during implementation. The total amount of water added is 40-60% of the sum of the masses of each component of the cementitious material. Example 1

[0113] Seawater compressive strength after 3 months: 44.3 MPa;

[0114] Seawater compressive strength after 10 months: 40.4 MPa;

[0115] Chloride ion diffusion coefficient: 8.3 × 10⁻⁶ -12 m² / s.

[0116] Compared with Comparative Example 1 (ordinary silicate cement), the marine corrosion-resistant cementitious material of Example 1 has the following advantages:

[0117] 1. Lower heat of hydration: The 3-day heat of hydration of Example 1 is <180 kJ / kg, and the 7-day heat of hydration is <210 kJ / kg; while the 3-day heat of hydration of Comparative Example 1 is >250 kJ / kg, and the 7-day heat of hydration is >300 kJ / kg. Lower heat of hydration helps reduce the risk of cracking in large-volume concrete due to temperature stress and improves the durability of concrete.

[0118] 2. Improved early compressive strength: The 3-day compressive strength of seawater in Example 1 was 29.4 MPa, which was higher than that of Comparative Example 1 (25.0 MPa). This indicates that the material in Example 1 can form strength more quickly in the early stage, which is beneficial to shorten the construction cycle and improve project efficiency.

[0119] 3. Continuous and higher long-term compressive strength: In Example 1, the seawater compressive strength after 28 days was 53.0 MPa, after 90 days it was 59.5 MPa, and after 10 months it was 65.0 MPa; in Comparative Example 1, the seawater compressive strength after 28 days was 47.3 MPa, after 90 days it was 44.3 MPa, and after 10 months it was 40.4 MPa. The material in Example 1 showed a significant increase in long-term strength, which was much higher than that in Comparative Example 1, indicating that it has better long-term mechanical properties and durability.

[0120] 4. Better flexural strength performance: Although the 28-day flexural strength (8.7 MPa) of Comparative Example 1 is slightly higher than that of Example 1 (8.1 MPa), the 3-day flexural strength (5.8 MPa) of Example 1 is higher than that of Comparative Example 1 (5.2 MPa). Moreover, in terms of the overall strength growth trend, the strength of Example 1 is more balanced and stable.

[0121] 5. Lower chloride ion diffusion coefficient: The chloride ion diffusion coefficient in Example 1 is 1.3 × 10⁻⁶. -12 m 2 / s, far lower than the 8.3×10 in Comparative Example 1. -12 m 2 / s. The lower chloride ion diffusion coefficient means that the material of Example 1 has better resistance to chloride ion penetration, effectively preventing steel corrosion and improving the durability of concrete structures in marine environments.

[0122] 6. Superior freeze-thaw resistance: The compressive strength loss rate of Example 1 after 150 freeze-thaw cycles was 4.6%, while Comparative Example 1 did not mention this data. However, the freeze-thaw resistance of ordinary Portland cement is generally relatively poor. The lower compressive strength loss rate of Example 1 indicates that it has better freeze-thaw resistance and is suitable for marine engineering in cold regions.

[0123] 7. Good resistance to chemical corrosion: In Example 1, after a 3-month alkali corrosion test in a 5% sodium hydroxide solution, the compressive strength was 58.5 MPa, and after a 3-month sulfate corrosion test in a 5% sodium sulfate solution, the compressive strength was 59.8 MPa. This indicates that the material has good resistance to chemicals such as alkalis and sulfates and can maintain stable performance in complex marine chemical environments.
