Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete material preparation technology, specifically to a concrete material preparation process that combines carbon reduction and microcrack self-healing functions. Background Technology
[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] Concrete, as the most widely used building material globally, has long been plagued by cracking problems due to its inherent brittleness. On one hand, during the hardening process, cement hydration generates a large amount of heat, leading to temperature differences between the inside and outside of the concrete, thus inducing temperature shrinkage stress. Simultaneously, concrete loses water, causing drying shrinkage. When the resulting tensile stress exceeds the concrete's tensile strength, plastic shrinkage cracks or drying shrinkage cracks will form. On the other hand, during the service life of concrete structures, freeze-thaw cycles caused by drastic temperature changes can also generate internal stress in the concrete. This is because water that has seeped into the capillaries of the concrete expands in volume when it freezes, and the resulting pressure easily triggers the formation of microcracks.
[0004] It is evident that the formation of microcracks is an inherent weakness of concrete structures. It not only reduces the durability and load-bearing capacity of concrete structures but also provides channels for harmful substances such as moisture and chloride ions to penetrate, accelerating steel corrosion and concrete deterioration, shortening lifespan, and increasing maintenance costs. Traditional repair methods are mostly passive manual interventions, often struggling to detect and effectively treat internal or minute cracks. Furthermore, large-scale repair projects consume significant manpower and resources, affecting normal building use and exhibiting limitations such as high cost, complex processes, and difficulty in accessing internal microcracks. Self-healing technology, on the other hand, enables early, proactive, and continuous repair, preventing problems before they occur and significantly improving the safety and reliability of structures. This helps extend the service life of concrete structures and reduces resource consumption, construction waste, and carbon emissions resulting from large-scale repairs or demolition and reconstruction. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a concrete material preparation process that combines carbon reduction and microcrack self-healing functions. It not only endows the concrete material with excellent microcrack self-healing capabilities but also reduces carbon emissions from cement clinker production by consuming carbon dioxide. Specifically, the technical solution of this invention is as follows.
[0006] A process for preparing a concrete material that combines carbon reduction and microcrack self-healing functions includes the following steps:
[0007] (1) Mesoporous silica powder was mixed with a solution containing magnesium ion source and stirred. Then, an alkaline solution was added and allowed to stand. After completion, the residual alkaline solution was washed away, and then calcined to obtain MgO@mesoporous silica active powder.
[0008] (2) The powdered polycarboxylate superplasticizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate powder and the active powder are mixed and ground. Then the modified powder is added to anhydrous ethanol containing polyethylene glycol, stirred evenly and spray-dried to obtain the precursor powder.
[0009] (3) The precursor powder is mixed with anhydrous ethanol containing silane coupling agent and stirred. Then tetraethoxysilane is added and stirred evenly. Then spray-drying is performed to obtain microcrack self-healing agent.
[0010] (4) Using cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, silica fume, modified carbide slag powder, and the microcrack self-healing agent as raw materials, mix them and add water to stir evenly to obtain the concrete material.
[0011] Further, in step (1), the ratio of the mesoporous silica powder to the solution containing the magnesium ion source is 1g:6~8.5mL. Optionally, the concentration of the magnesium ion source in the solution is 2~4mol / L.
[0012] Further, in step (1), the magnesium ion source includes at least one of magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, magnesium nitrate, etc.
[0013] Furthermore, in step (1), the stirring time is 20~30 min.
[0014] Further, in step (1), the molar ratio of hydroxide ions to magnesium ions in the alkaline solution is 2~2.1:1.
[0015] Further, in step (1), the alkaline solution includes at least one of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and ammonia. Optionally, the standing time is 10-15 minutes.
[0016] Further, in step (1), the calcination treatment temperature is 520~580℃ and the time is 30~40min.
[0017] Further, in step (2), the ratio of the powdered polycarboxylate superplasticizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate powder, and active powder is 0.12~0.16g: 1~1.45g: 20~25g.
[0018] Further, in step (2), the ratio of the modified powder to anhydrous ethanol containing dissolved polyethylene glycol is 1 g: 5~10 mL. Optionally, the mass fraction of polyethylene glycol in the anhydrous ethanol is 20~30%.
[0019] Furthermore, in step (2), the fineness of the modified powder is 60-80 mesh.
[0020] Further, in step (3), the ratio of the precursor powder to anhydrous ethanol containing the dissolved silane coupling agent is 1 g: 5~10 mL. Optionally, the mass fraction of the silane coupling agent in the anhydrous ethanol is 0.3~0.4%.
[0021] Further, in step (3), the silane coupling agent includes at least one of KH550, KH560, KH580, KH171, etc.
[0022] Furthermore, in step (3), the mass fraction of tetraethoxysilane in the anhydrous ethanol is 9-12%.
[0023] Further, in step (4), the proportions of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, silica fume, modified calcium carbide slag powder, and microcrack self-healing agent are 100~115 parts by weight: 230~265 parts by weight: 140~170 parts by weight: 10~20 parts by weight: 10~15 parts by weight: 3~6 parts by weight.
[0024] Furthermore, in step (4), the mass ratio of the water to the total of cement and silica fume is 0.38~0.43:1.
[0025] Further, in step (4), the modified carbide slag powder is prepared by the following method: after forming a slurry with carbide slag powder and water, carbon dioxide is continuously introduced into it and stirred continuously. After completion, the water is removed by drying and grinding to obtain the modified carbide slag powder.
[0026] Furthermore, the ratio of the calcium carbide slag powder to water is 1g:20~35mL.
[0027] Furthermore, the carbon dioxide is introduced at a rate of 4-7 L / min for a duration of 6-8 hours.
[0028] Further, the drying temperature is 90~110℃. Optionally, the fineness of the modified calcium carbide slag powder is 220~300 mesh.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0030] (1) This invention uses mesoporous silica as a carrier, loads magnesium hydroxide therein, and then performs calcination treatment together, thereby not only converting magnesium hydroxide into magnesium oxide, but also achieving thermal activation of the mesoporous silica to form the active powder. Further, this invention grinds the active powder together with powdered polycarboxylate superplasticizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate powder, and then coats it with polyethylene glycol to form a precursor powder. Finally, this invention uses a silane coupling agent to load tetraethoxysilane on the particle surface of the precursor powder to form a microcrack self-healing agent. After being added to concrete materials, on the one hand, the self-healing agent can not only form a good bond with the concrete matrix by utilizing the silane coupling agent on its surface, but also utilizes the alkaline environment provided by the concrete matrix to hydrolyze the tetraethoxysilane on the surface of the self-healing agent to form nano-silica, which further reacts with the hydration product calcium hydroxide in the concrete matrix to form hydrated calcium silicate gel, thereby making the self-healing agent of this invention more firmly bonded to the concrete matrix. This not only helps improve the strength of the concrete matrix but also helps tear the self-healing agent when microcracks appear in the concrete matrix, achieving efficient activation of the self-healing mechanism by utilizing the generation of microcracks. This allows the components of the self-healing agent to be more precisely exposed at the microcrack interface. Magnesium oxide and potassium dihydrogen phosphate react rapidly with the presence of moisture in the microcracks to form a high-strength, highly adhesive product that repairs the microcracks and prevents their further expansion. On the other hand, the highly active mesoporous silica can react with the calcium hydroxide provided by the concrete matrix to form hydrated calcium silicate gel, which can further repair the microcracks. During this process, the polycarboxylate superplasticizer can use its abundant carboxyl groups to capture calcium ions provided by the calcium hydroxide and residual calcium hydroxide in the modified carbide slag powder, promoting the reaction of the mesoporous silica. Furthermore, the residual magnesium oxide, under the action of the water film constructed by the polycarboxylate superplasticizer on its surface, can accelerate the hydration of magnesium oxide. The resulting expansive product, magnesium hydroxide, can fill the microcracks, further enhancing the repair effect.
[0031] (2) The present invention also uses carbide slag as raw material, prepares it into slurry and then passes carbon dioxide through it for treatment, thereby converting calcium hydroxide in it into calcium carbonate and realizing the utilization of carbon dioxide. The micro powder formed after grinding can not only fill the micropores in concrete, improve the density of concrete matrix, reduce the tendency of microcracks caused by volume changes due to temperature changes and drying shrinkage, but also improve the mechanical properties of concrete matrix.
