Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the intersection of green building materials and additive manufacturing technology, specifically to a coal gangue-based temperature and humidity control material for 3D printing and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the innovation of the construction industry, 3D printing technology (also known as additive manufacturing) has shown great potential in the construction field. Its advantages lie in its ability to achieve moldless rapid prototyping, high design freedom, saving manpower and materials, and the ability to construct complex geometric structures that are difficult to achieve with traditional processes. However, the success of 3D printing in construction is highly dependent on the performance of the printing material itself. It requires the material to not only have pumpable and extrudable rheological properties, but also to rapidly build up strength after extrusion to support subsequent layer-by-layer printing, that is, to have good "constructability".

[0003] At the same time, people's demands for the comfort and energy efficiency of built environments are increasing. Smart materials with temperature control (absorbing or releasing heat through phase change materials to stabilize room temperature) and humidity regulation (adsorbing or releasing water vapor through porous materials to regulate humidity) functions have become a research hotspot. These materials can passively regulate the indoor microclimate, reduce building energy consumption, and improve living comfort.

[0004] However, combining 3D printing technology with temperature and humidity control materials faces significant technical bottlenecks: (1) The contradiction between rheological properties and functions: The composition of traditional temperature and humidity control materials (such as porous cement-based materials and composite materials containing a large amount of phase change materials) often has an adverse effect on the rheological properties of the printing slurry. For example, the addition of phase change materials may introduce lubrication or air entrainment effect, which will destroy the stability of the slurry; while the air entraining agent or lightweight aggregate added to build the porous structure required for humidity control function will significantly reduce the yield stress and viscosity of the slurry, leading to deformation or collapse of the printed component.

[0005] (2) Matching strength development with printing speed: 3D printing requires materials to have a fast initial setting rate and sufficient early strength. However, many geopolymers or solid waste-based cementitious materials have slow hydration / reaction rates, making it difficult to meet the requirements of rapid construction. Conventional accelerators can accelerate setting, but may impair the later properties of the material or affect its functionality.

[0006] (3) Solid waste utilization and performance balance: Using industrial solid waste such as coal gangue as the main raw material is in line with the concept of sustainable development. However, the activity of coal gangue fluctuates greatly, the rheological properties of the prepared slurry are difficult to control, and the mechanical properties and functionality (such as pore structure) of its products are not easy to precisely control.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of material that can solve the above problems in a synergistic way. It can not only meet the strict process requirements of 3D printing, but also give the printed parts excellent temperature and humidity control functions, realize the high-value-added resource utilization of solid waste, and reduce the cost of materials. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Based on this, the purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a coal gangue-based temperature and humidity control material for 3D printing and its preparation method. This material achieves a unity of functionality, printability and environmental friendliness.

[0009] First aspect: A coal gangue-based temperature and humidity control material for 3D printing, comprising the following components by mass parts: Coal gangue active powder: 100 parts; Calcium hydroxide: 10-15 parts; Calcium formate: 3-5 parts; Camellia oleifera fruit shell fiber: 5-10 parts; Phase change microcapsules: 10-20 parts; Air-entraining agent: 0.1-0.5 parts; Rheology modifier: 0.1-1 part; Water: 40-50 parts; The active coal gangue powder is composed of 70 parts coal gangue, 15 parts limestone and 15 parts iron tailings.

[0010] The functions of each component in the coal gangue-based temperature and humidity control material for 3D printing of this invention are as follows: Coal gangue active powder, as the main cementing component, exhibits high pozzolanic activity after appropriate thermal activation treatment. It hardens upon contact with water and can react with calcium hydroxide to form a strong framework. Simultaneously, it possesses good fluidity and plasticity, making it suitable for 3D printing and forming the basis for the application of temperature and humidity control materials. Calcium hydroxide, as an activator, not only activates the activity of coal gangue but also reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to generate calcium carbonate, enhancing later-stage strength. Calcium formate, as an early-strength agent, significantly accelerates the hydration and hardening process of the coal gangue-calcium hydroxide system, meeting the rapid hardening requirements of 3D printing. Camellia oleifera fruit shell fiber, after treatment, serves as a reinforcing fiber, improving the material's crack resistance and toughness, preventing cracking during printing. The plant fiber structure also possesses lightweight, porous, and thermal insulation properties. Phase change microcapsule materials absorb or release heat through a phase change process, regulating ambient temperature fluctuations and improving building energy efficiency. An air-entraining agent introduces uniform microbubbles into the material, forming a porous structure that provides space for moisture adsorption, achieving the humidity control function. Rheology modifiers precisely control the viscosity and yield stress of the slurry, ensuring that the material is both easy to extrude and has good buildability.

[0011] The innovations of this invention are mainly reflected in the following four aspects: (1) Solid waste synergistic activation and rapid hardening system: Calcined coal gangue active powder is used as the main cementing component, and calcium hydroxide is used as an alkaline activator. The two undergo a geopolymer reaction to generate cementitious products. Calcium formate is innovatively introduced as a composite coagulant, which can not only significantly accelerate the formation of early hydration products such as ettringite, providing rapid early strength growth to meet the needs of layer-by-layer printing, but also has a much smaller negative impact on later strength than traditional calcium chloride or aluminate coagulants. Due to the fineness of the coal gangue active powder, the slurry after being combined with calcium hydroxide has good fluidity and plasticity, which is very beneficial for construction.

[0012] (2) Hierarchical pore structure and humidity regulation mechanism: By introducing an air-entraining agent, a large number of uniform and closed microbubbles are introduced into the slurry. At the same time, the camellia fruit shell fiber itself has abundant natural pores. The two work together to construct a hierarchical pore structure from the nanometer to the micrometer scale. This structure provides a huge specific surface area and channels for the adsorption and desorption of water vapor, thus endowing the material with excellent humidity regulation capabilities.

[0013] (3) Temperature regulation and enhancement mechanism: By incorporating phase change microcapsules, when the ambient temperature fluctuates, the phase change material inside the microcapsules undergoes a solid-liquid reversible transition. During this process, it absorbs or releases a large amount of latent heat, thereby buffering temperature changes and achieving intelligent regulation of indoor temperature. At the same time, the camellia fruit shell fiber dispersed in the matrix acts as a micro-reinforcing material, effectively inhibiting crack propagation caused by plastic shrinkage and drying shrinkage during the printing process, and enhancing the toughness and crack resistance of the material.

[0014] (4) Precise rheological control strategy: In view of the characteristics of coal gangue-based slurry and the rheological challenges that air-entraining agents and phase change microcapsules may bring, a rheology modifier was specially introduced. It can significantly improve the yield stress and viscosity of the slurry through physical entanglement and hydration film effect, ensuring that the slurry maintains shape stability before extrusion (good buildability), can pass smoothly through the nozzle during extrusion (good extrudability), and quickly recovers structural strength after extrusion.

[0015] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: It uses coal gangue and camellia fruit shells as the main raw materials, achieving "waste-to-waste treatment," which aligns with the concept of a circular economy and is cost-effective. Rapid hardening is achieved through calcium formate, and rheological control is achieved through rheology modifiers, successfully solving the core challenges of printability and early strength in 3D printing materials. The integration of temperature control (phase change microcapsules) and humidity regulation (air-entrained fiber porous system) functions into the printing material makes the printed building component itself an intelligent environmental regulator. The addition of camellia fruit shell fibers not only assists in humidity regulation but also enhances toughness, improving the integrity and long-term durability of the printed component.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the SiO2 content in the coal gangue is not less than 60% by mass, the calcium oxide content in the limestone is not less than 40%, and the SiO2 content in the iron tailings is not less than 70%.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the preparation method of the coal gangue active powder includes the following steps: crushing, mixing, and grinding the coal gangue, limestone, and iron tailings, then calcining them at 700-900℃ for 5-10 hours, and grinding them to a specific surface area of ​​not less than 400 m² after the reaction. 2 / kg, to obtain the active coal gangue powder; the pozzolanic activity index of the active coal gangue powder is not less than 0.85.

[0018] Natural coal gangue is mainly composed of kaolinite and quartz crystals, with a very stable structure. After high-temperature calcination, the crystal structure is destroyed, and components such as SiO2 and aluminum oxide recombine with calcium oxide and SiO2 from limestone and iron tailings to form new phases. These phases have pozzolanic activity; if the pozzolanic activity is too low, the strength of the formed material will be low. Furthermore, since coal gangue contains a certain amount of coal, its calcination process requires no additional energy consumption. More preferably, the calorific value of the coal gangue is below 1000 kcal / kg. Coal gangue with a higher calorific value can be used for power generation and has higher utilization value; while coal gangue with a calorific value below 1000 kcal / kg has limited utilization pathways and is often regarded as solid waste, making its resource utilization more urgent. If the specific surface area of ​​the coal gangue active powder is too low, the particles will be too coarse, resulting in poor reactivity.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the preparation method of the camellia oleifera fruit shell fiber includes the following steps: crushing the camellia oleifera fruit shell, treating it in a 1-5% sodium hydroxide solution at 80-100℃ for 1-3 hours, washing it until pH=7-8, drying it, and then mechanically grinding it for 0.5-2 hours to obtain the camellia oleifera fruit shell fiber with a length of 0.1-2 mm. After modification with an alkaline solution and shortening the fiber to 0.1-2 mm, the strength and toughness of the camellia oleifera fruit shell fiber can be improved, and its compatibility with the matrix is ​​good.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the preparation method of the phase change microcapsules includes the following steps: reacting a 37% (w / w) formaldehyde solution and an 80% urea solution at 55-90℃ for 2.5-3.5 h to obtain a urea-formaldehyde resin prepolymer solution; reacting the urea-formaldehyde resin prepolymer solution with a 50% (w / w) n-octadecane solution at pH 4-5 and a temperature of 60-80℃ for 1-2 h; then washing and drying the resulting reaction product to obtain white powdered n-octadecane-urea-formaldehyde resin phase change microcapsules, wherein the average particle size of the phase change microcapsules is 5-20 μm and the phase change temperature is 20-28℃. If the particle size of the phase change microcapsules is too large, it will affect stirring; if the particle size is too small, the temperature control effect will be poor. A phase change temperature controlled at 20-28℃ is a suitable living environment.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the method for preparing the n-octadecane solution includes the following steps: mixing Tween 80, Span 80 and n-octadecane in water at a mass ratio of 1:1:30~50, wherein the mass concentration of n-octadecane in the aqueous solution is 50%, and stirring at a speed of 500~1000 rpm for 10~20 min to obtain the n-octadecane solution.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the air-entraining agent is at least one of rosin thermal polymers, alkylbenzene sulfonates, or protein-based air-entraining agents.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the rheology modifier is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and / or a polycarboxylate superplasticizer. By changing the amount of free water, the fluidity, viscosity, and yield stress of the slurry are adjusted, thereby ensuring the printability of the slurry.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the slump is 150-180 mm, the initial setting time is no more than 40 min, and the final setting time is no more than 6 h; the yield stress is 200.00-600.00 Pa, and the apparent viscosity is 0.50-1.50 Pa·s; the hardened compressive strength is no less than 15 MPa, the thermal conductivity is no higher than 0.35 W / (m·K), and the 24-hour moisture absorption is no less than 50 g / m³. 2 Suitable yield stress and apparent viscosity ensure good extrudability and constructability.

[0025] The second aspect: A method for preparing a coal gangue-based temperature and humidity control material for 3D printing as described in the first aspect includes the following steps: Dry mixing: 100 parts of the coal gangue active powder, 10-15 parts of calcium hydroxide, 3-5 parts of calcium formate, 5-10 parts of camellia fruit shell fiber, 10-20 parts of phase change microcapsules and 0.1-1 parts of rheology modifier are stirred and mixed at a speed of 10-50 rpm for 5-15 minutes until the mixture is uniform to obtain a dry mixture. Wet mixing: Add 40-50 parts of water and 0.1-0.5 parts of air-entraining agent to the dry mixture, stir at 10-50 rpm for 1-3 minutes, and then stir at 100-150 rpm for 2-5 minutes to obtain the coal gangue-based temperature and humidity control material for 3D printing.
