Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, specifically to an environmentally friendly brick carving blank and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing environmental awareness and the urgent need for resource recycling, traditional brick carving material production methods face numerous challenges. Traditional brick carving materials rely on natural resources such as clay, whose extraction damages land resources. As clay resources gradually deplete, raw material supply faces shortages. Furthermore, the firing process generates large amounts of pollutants such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, causing serious environmental pollution. At the same time, traditional processes are energy-intensive and inefficient, making it difficult to meet market demands for environmentally friendly, efficient, and high-quality brick carving products.

[0003] Therefore, we propose an environmentally friendly brick carving blank and its preparation process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an environmentally friendly brick carving blank and its preparation process to solve the problems raised in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A process for preparing an environmentally friendly brick carving blank includes the following steps: Step 1: Mix waste concrete, steel slag powder, fly ash, modified biochar, and modified clay evenly to obtain a mixed solid. Step 2: Pour water into the mixed solids and stir evenly, then add cement and water-reducing agent and stir evenly to obtain a mixed slurry; press the mixed slurry into shape, demold it, and obtain the environmentally friendly brick carving blank.

[0006] In a more optimized manner, the environmentally friendly brick carving blank material comprises the following weight components: 40-50 parts waste concrete, 30-40 parts steel slag powder, 10-20 parts fly ash, 5-15 parts modified biochar, 3-8 parts cement, 30-40 parts modified clay, 30-50 parts water, and 0.2-0.5 parts water-reducing agent.

[0007] The modified biochar is prepared in a more optimized manner as follows: Step 1: Dissolve ZnCl2 in deionized water, add sludge biochar, purge with nitrogen to remove oxygen for 30-40 min, add sodium borohydride aqueous solution dropwise under stirring at room temperature, complete the addition in 1-2 h, react for 22-24 h, centrifuge, wash with water, wash with anhydrous ethanol, dry to obtain the matrix; Step 2: Mix polyvinyl alcohol and boric acid aqueous solution evenly, add matrix and mercapto chitosan, stir evenly, then add calcium chloride aqueous solution, stir for 2-3 hours, let stand for 12-24 hours, wash with water and anhydrous ethanol, and dry to obtain aminated matrix; Step 3: Mix NaOH aqueous solution and carbon disulfide evenly, add aminated matrix, react at 20-30℃ for 20-40 min, then transfer to a water bath at 40-50℃ to continue the reaction for 4-8 h, cool to room temperature, filter, wash and dry to obtain modified biochar.

[0008] In a more optimized manner, in step 1, the mass ratio of ZnCl2, deionized water, sludge biochar, and sodium borohydride aqueous solution is 1:(30-40):(0.5-0.8):(30-40), and the concentration of sodium borohydride aqueous solution is 0.3-0.4 mol / L.

[0009] The optimized method for preparing the sludge biochar is as follows: After dewatering, drying, crushing, and passing through a 100-mesh sieve, the sludge is heated to 600-700℃ at a rate of 3-5℃ / min under a nitrogen atmosphere and held for 2-3 hours. It is then naturally cooled to room temperature and washed with water and anhydrous ethanol to obtain sludge biochar.

[0010] In a more optimized manner, in step 2, the mass ratio of polyvinyl alcohol, boric acid aqueous solution, matrix and thiol chitosan is 1:(40-50):(1-2):(0.5-1.0), and the concentration of boric acid aqueous solution is 1-3wt%.

[0011] A more optimized method for preparing the thiolated chitosan is as follows: Chitosan was dispersed in deionized water, and hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH to 6-7. Then, 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, N-hydroxysuccinimide and L-cysteine ​​were added and mixed evenly. The mixture was reacted in the dark for 22-24 hours. After dialysis and drying, thiolated chitosan was obtained.

[0012] In a more optimized manner, the mass ratio of chitosan, deionized water, 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, N-hydroxysuccinimide and L-cysteine ​​is 1:100:(7-8):(4.0-4.5):(2-4), and the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 1 mol / L.

[0013] Ideally, the concentration of the calcium chloride aqueous solution is 2-4 wt%, and its amount is 50-100 times the mass of polyvinyl alcohol.

[0014] Ideally, the mass ratio of the aminated matrix, NaOH aqueous solution, and carbon disulfide is 1:(10-15):(1-2), and the concentration of the NaOH aqueous solution is 40-50 wt%.

[0015] A more optimized method for preparing the modified clay is as follows: Clay was dispersed in a mixed solution of anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was added and mixed evenly. The pH of the system was adjusted to 4-5 using glacial acetic acid, and the reaction was carried out at 60-70℃ for 2-4 hours. After filtration, centrifugation and drying, modified clay was obtained.

[0016] More optimally, the mass ratio of the clay to anhydrous ethanol, deionized water, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is 1:(10-12):(2-4):(0.3-0.5).

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention uses sludge as raw material to prepare biochar, realizing the high-value utilization of solid waste and solving the problem of sludge disposal. The entire preparation process is mild and conforms to the principles of green chemistry. This invention uses biochar prepared from sludge as a framework, and loads it with nano-zero-valent zinc (nZVZ) to obtain a matrix, which effectively increases the specific surface area of ​​the biochar and enhances the contact area with pollutants, thereby improving the adsorption capacity. Next, the matrix is ​​compounded with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and thiolated chitosan, and calcium ions are used as a crosslinking agent to prepare an aminated matrix. This matrix not only retains high porosity to ensure rapid water penetration, but also utilizes the crosslinking effect of polymer chains to endow the material with excellent mechanical strength and durability, overcoming the shortcomings of poor strength in traditional porous materials. The thiolated chitosan is prepared through a condensation reaction between the amino groups of chitosan and the carboxyl groups of L-cysteine. Containing amino groups, the introduced thiols have a strong chelating ability for heavy metal ions such as lead (Pb²⁺), cadmium (Cd²⁺), and copper (Cu²⁺), enabling them to be firmly fixed and transformed, achieving efficient and stable heavy metal removal. Finally, the amino groups of the aminated matrix react with NaOH and carbon disulfide (CS2), and the grafted sulfur-containing dithiocarboxyl groups (-C(=S)-S-) further enhance the selective chelation with highly toxic heavy metal ions, significantly improving the selective adsorption of highly toxic heavy metals. The modified biochar prepared in this invention has a porous structure, which increases the porosity of the material, promotes water permeability, and enhances the water permeability of the brick carving material. At the same time, it has negatively charged functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, which are beneficial to the adsorption of positively charged metals in pollutants, achieving the effect of adsorbing and blocking pollutants.

[0018] 2. This invention uses waste concrete, steel slag powder, fly ash, modified biochar, and clay as raw materials to produce environmentally friendly brick carving blanks. The acidic groups on the modified biochar interact with the surface of the modified clay, increasing the interaction forces between the materials and improving the strength of the brick carving blanks. Applying solid waste to the preparation of sintered bricks not only improves the various properties of the brick carving blanks but also greatly alleviates the enormous pressure of resource shortages in my country, making it a green and environmentally friendly process.

[0026] Comparative Example 3: Comparative Example 3 is based on Example 2, except that the modified biochar is replaced with the same mass of biochar, and the remaining process steps and reaction parameters are the same as in Example 2.

[0027] Experiment: The environmentally friendly brick carving blanks obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were dried to a moisture content of 25% and then fired in a brick kiln at 1000℃ for 12 hours to obtain environmentally friendly brick carvings, i.e., samples. Their performance was tested and the test results were recorded: 1. The compressive strength was determined according to the national standard GB / T5101-2017 "Sintered Common Bricks". During the test, the pressure rate was kept at 1.5 mm / min and the pressure was continuously applied until the brick was destroyed. The pressure at this time was recorded and three parallel tests were conducted.

[0028] 2. The permeability performance was determined according to GB / T 25993-2010 "Permeable Pavement Bricks and Permeable Pavement Panels". The experimental procedure was as follows: A Φ75mm × 40mm cylinder was prepared from the product as a sample. The upper surface area A of the cylinder was calculated and determined. The cylinder was sealed with sealant around its perimeter to prevent leakage, allowing water to permeate only from the top and bottom surfaces. The prepared cylinder was placed in an overflow trough, and water was added, controlling the water flow rate and volume to ensure water could pass through both the upper and lower surfaces of the cylinder, maintaining a stable water level difference between the test cylinder and the overflow trough. The water volume Q was calculated over a certain time period (300s in this experiment). After three tests, the average value was taken. The water level difference H between the permeable cylinder and the overflow trough was then measured with a ruler, accurate to 0.1cm.

[0029] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0030] Table 1. Test results of relevant performance of environmentally friendly brick carvings Based on the data in the table above, the following conclusions can be clearly drawn: The environmentally friendly brick carvings prepared by this invention have excellent mechanical and permeability properties. Compared with Examples 1-3, the compressive strength and permeability coefficient of the products obtained in Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 3 all decreased, indicating that by introducing dithiocarboxyl groups (-C(=S)-S-) and thiol chitosan, this invention forms a "double sulfur synergistic" reinforcing network inside the material, increasing the interaction force between materials and thus improving the mechanical properties of the material. Compared with ordinary biochar, the modified biochar prepared by this invention has abundant functional groups (such as carboxyl, amino, thiol and dithiocarboxyl groups) introduced on its surface, which greatly improves the interfacial bonding force with matrices such as clay, waste concrete, and steel slag powder.

[0031] 3. Take the samples prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1-2, and immerse them in the prepared aqueous solution containing contaminants (COD: 258 mg / L, NH4+). + -N: 6.17mg / L, TP: 10.86mg / L, Pb 2+ 3.56 mg / L, Cd 2+ 3.34 mg / L, Cu 2+(1.18 mg / L), then placed in a constant temperature shaker for 120 hours of shaking, filtered, and the filtrate was used to determine the concentration of pollutants, COD, NH4+. + -N and TP were detected using the acidic potassium dichromate digestion titration method, Nessler's reagent spectrophotometry, and potassium persulfate digestion-ammonium molybdate spectrophotometry, respectively. Pb 2+ Cd 2+ Cu 2+ The content was determined using a TAS-990 atomic absorption spectrophotometer.

[0032] Table 2. Test results of pollutant removal rate of environmentally friendly brick carvings. Based on the data in the table above, the following conclusions can be clearly drawn: the environmentally friendly brick carving prepared by this invention has an adsorption effect on heavy metals, which can effectively remove heavy metal ions from water bodies and reduce environmental pollution.
