Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geopolymer materials technology, and in particular to a composite activated solid waste cementitious material for soft soil solidification and its preparation and application methods. Background Technology
[0002] Soft soil foundation treatment is a crucial step in engineering construction. Currently, the mainstream treatment methods are divided into three categories: physical methods, biological methods, and chemical methods. Physical methods include dynamic compaction, vacuum pumping, preloading, a combination of vacuum and preloading, drainage, and wellpoint dewatering. Their core principle is to rapidly drain pore water from the soft soil through external impact loads or seepage, reducing the effective stress in the soft soil particle structure and thus improving the bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the soft soil foundation. However, these methods have significant drawbacks such as long construction time, long stabilization time, complex procedures, and high treatment costs. Biological methods involve injecting aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, and nutrient solutions into the soft soil. Through biological processes, they produce CaCO3-like materials that connect solid particles and fill particle pores. However, this method is costly, technically demanding, expensive, and has a long construction period, making it unsuitable for large-area foundation treatment. Chemical methods mainly use cement-based cementitious materials, which are injected into soft soil through powder spraying or grouting. The cementitious materials form a gel that connects soil particles, fills pores, and drains pore water, so that the soft soil foundation meets engineering requirements. However, this method has prominent problems such as large cement consumption, high carbon emissions, and high engineering costs. Moreover, when applied in areas with high groundwater levels, the foundation bearing capacity develops slowly.
[0003] Therefore, from the perspectives of reducing carbon emissions and engineering costs, disposing of solid waste, and reducing environmental pollution, this invention proposes a weak alkali-salt-polymer composite activated solid waste cementing material for soft soil solidification and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite activated solid waste cementitious material for soft soil solidification, as well as its preparation and application methods, to solve the problems in the background technology and achieve the dual goals of industrial solid waste resource utilization and efficient solidification of soft soil foundations.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a composite activated solid waste cementitious material for soft soil solidification, which is composed of cement kiln ash, blast furnace slag powder and composite alkali activator. The mass fractions of each component are as follows: cement kiln ash 6.8-7.2 parts, blast furnace slag powder 81.8-82.2 parts, and composite alkali activator 10.6-11.4 parts; wherein, the composite alkali activator is composed of quicklime, gypsum and polymeric coagulant.
[0006] Preferably, the mass fractions of each component are: 7.2 parts cement kiln ash, 81.8 parts blast furnace slag powder, and 11 parts composite alkali activator.
[0007] Preferably, the mass ratio of quicklime, gypsum, and polymeric coagulant is 10:1:0.04.
[0008] Preferably, the polymeric coagulant is polyacrylamide.
[0009] Preferably, the blast furnace slag powder is S95 grade ore powder.
[0010] The present invention also provides a method for applying the above-mentioned composite activated solid waste cementitious material for soft soil solidification, wherein the composite activated solid waste cementitious material replaces silicate cement for soft soil foundation treatment.
[0011] Preferably, the composite activated solid waste cementitious material replaces silicate cement and is mixed with soft soil at a cement-sand ratio of 1:8-1:12 to achieve soft soil solidification.
[0012] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned composite activated solid waste cementitious material for soft soil solidification, comprising the following steps:
[0013] (1) Weigh quicklime, gypsum and polymeric coagulant, place them in a mixer and stir until uniform to make a composite alkali activator;
[0014] (2) Weigh cement kiln ash, blast furnace slag powder and the composite alkali activator prepared in step (1), put them into a mixer and stir until uniform to obtain cementitious material powder.
[0015] This invention utilizes a composite of gypsum and high-molecular-weight polyacrylamide to activate the activity of cement kiln ash, creating a highly alkaline working environment that in turn activates blast furnace slag powder, thereby achieving alkali activation and preparing a zero-carbon emission cementitious material.
[0016] Therefore, the composite activated solid waste cementitious material for soft soil solidification provided by the present invention, as well as its preparation and application method, has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] (1) Replace cement, reduce environmental pressure and cost: This invention uses industrial solid waste such as cement kiln ash and blast furnace slag S95 grade mineral powder as the main raw materials. The composite activated solid waste cementitious material prepared by industrial solid waste can completely replace silicate cement for soft soil foundation treatment. This not only realizes the resource utilization of industrial solid waste and reduces the environmental pollution caused by solid waste storage, but also significantly reduces the high carbon emission problem caused by cement use, and at the same time reduces the engineering cost.
[0018] (2) Excellent strength of soft soil foundation: The composite activated solid waste cementitious material provided by this invention is mainly composed of cement kiln ash from the cement production process and slag powder from the blast furnace smelting process. The raw material particles of the cementitious material are finer, and the gel generated after the composite activation reaction can quickly coat soft soil particles, fill pores, and form a stable particle structure. The test shows that after treating soft soil with the cementitious material with the optimal ratio, the compressive strength can reach 0.76-0.95 MPa after 3 days and 1.29-1.54 MPa after 7 days.
[0019] (3) Simple preparation and construction process: On the one hand, compared with the current soft soil foundation reinforcement materials that use strong alkaline activators and silicate cement, the composite activated solid waste cementitious material provided by the present invention does not require on-site preparation of alkaline solutions and control of activator modulus during the soft soil foundation reinforcement process. It only needs to mix and stir the raw materials in proportion to make cementitious material, and the soft soil can be solidified after being mixed evenly with the soft soil. On the other hand, since the raw material particles are relatively fine, the composite activated solid waste cementitious material does not need to go through complex processes such as drying, grinding, and high temperature during preparation. It has strong engineering adaptability and high construction efficiency.
[0020] (3) Wide range of applications: It can solidify soft soil with different moisture contents (49%-57%). By adjusting the mortar ratio, it can meet the strength requirements of different engineering scenarios and is suitable for large-area soft soil foundation treatment projects.
