Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building materials technology, specifically referring to a negative carbon cementitious material based on the synergistic effect of multiple solid wastes and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional cement-based materials are one of the world's major sources of carbon emissions, accounting for 8-10% of global carbon emissions, which seriously restricts the carbon neutrality process in the construction sector. At the same time, the steel, phosphate chemical, alumina and agricultural sectors produce huge quantities of solid waste such as phosphogypsum, steel slag, red mud and rice husk ash every year, with phosphogypsum alone exceeding 80 million tons per year.
[0003] Currently, the comprehensive utilization rate of phosphogypsum in my country is only 40%, and the utilization rate of steel slag is about 30%. The long-term storage of large amounts of solid waste not only occupies valuable land resources, but also poses serious environmental risks. For example, the leaching of radioactive elements and soluble phosphorus in phosphogypsum will pollute the soil and groundwater.
[0004] Gypsum-based building materials have attracted attention due to their lightweight, fire-resistant, and environmentally friendly properties. Existing technologies include research on modifying gypsum using single or a few types of solid waste, but these generally suffer from inherent defects such as low strength (typically <20MPa), poor toughness, and poor water resistance, and cannot simultaneously achieve optimal mechanical properties, functionality, and economy. Furthermore, the synergistic utilization of multiple solid wastes faces technical bottlenecks such as large fluctuations in composition, poor compatibility, and unstable performance.
[0005] Furthermore, existing technologies related to prefabricated building components based on solid waste only protect specific component structures and do not address the negative carbon properties of the materials themselves or their general application in various building components. How to achieve large-scale, high-value resource utilization of bulk solid waste, while simultaneously developing cementitious materials with high performance, high durability, and significant negative carbon benefits, is a pressing global challenge that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a carbon-negative cementitious material based on the synergistic effect of multiple solid wastes and its preparation method. The material system, composed of six specific components—phosphogypsum, rice husk ash, steel slag powder, reed fiber, salt lake brine, and red mud—achieves high performance and carbon-negative benefits through synergistic effects and is referred to as the "six-element system." Through synergistic effects, it enables large-scale utilization and disposal of solid waste, while possessing excellent mechanical properties, good durability, and carbon-negative effects throughout its entire life cycle.
[0007] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a negative carbon cementitious material based on the synergy of multiple solid wastes, comprising the following raw materials by mass percentage: 30-50% phosphogypsum, 10-20% rice husk ash, 10-25% steel slag powder, 3-8% reed fiber, 10-18% salt lake brine, and 5-10% red mud.
[0008] Preferably, the rice husk ash is a highly active rice husk ash with an amorphous SiO2 content of ≥85% and a specific surface area of ≥15000m² / kg.
[0009] Preferably, the steel slag powder is stabilized steel slag powder that has undergone carbonization and solidification treatment, wherein the f-CaO content is ≤1.5% and the specific surface area is ≥400m² / kg.
[0010] Preferably, the reed fiber has a length of 5-15 mm, an aspect ratio of ≥50, a tensile strength of ≥150 MPa, and the reed fiber has not been treated with alkaline brine from the salt lake.
[0011] Preferably, the concentration of Mg²⁺ ions in the salt lake brine is 40-80 g / L, and the concentration of Li⁺ ions is 2-5 g / L, and it can be used directly without pretreatment.
[0012] A method for preparing a negative carbon cementitious material based on the synergistic effect of multiple solid wastes includes the following steps: (1) Prepare phosphogypsum, rice husk ash, steel slag powder, reed fiber, salt lake brine and red mud according to the required proportions and quality. (2) Put phosphogypsum, rice husk ash, steel slag powder and red mud into a mixer for the first stage of dry mixing, and mix for 3-5 minutes until uniform. (3) Add salt lake brine to the dry mixture from step (2) and perform a second wet mixing for 2-4 minutes; (4) Add reed fiber to the slurry in step (3) and carry out third-level fiber dispersion and mixing for 1-2 minutes to obtain the negative carbon cementitious material.
[0013] Preferably, the phosphogypsum in step (1) is a purified low-radioactivity phosphogypsum with an internal radiation index ≤0.3.
[0014] Preferably, the preparation method of the negative carbon cementitious material further includes a curing step: curing at a temperature of 50-80℃ and a relative humidity of ≥90% for 6-24 hours to enhance the carbonization reaction and negative carbon performance.
[0015] Preferably, the negative carbon cementitious material can be used to prepare any one of building panels, blocks, precast beams, precast columns or pipe components.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects by adopting the above solution: The "six-element system," achieved through the synergistic effect of six components, has achieved breakthroughs in three dimensions: performance, environment, and economy. Phosphogypsum provides calcium and early strength, rice husk ash provides active silicon and later strength, steel slag and red mud provide alkalinity and micro-aggregate effect, reed fiber toughens and resists cracking, and Li⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions in the salt lake brine promote coagulation and mineralization, significantly improving compressive strength. The "six-element system" itself sequesters CO2 and replaces cement on a large scale, achieving significant negative carbon benefits. Compared with traditional cement, carbon emissions have turned from positive to negative, and carbon emissions have been greatly reduced. The raw materials are solid waste, with extremely low cost, large-scale solid waste disposal, safety and environmental protection. It can be produced using existing building material production lines without special equipment, enabling large-scale mass production. Attached Figure Description
