Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building materials technology, specifically relating to a composite material for fireproof air ducts and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern building technology and the increasing demands for building safety, fire safety has become a crucial aspect of building design, construction, and acceptance. Fire-resistant ducts, as a key component of ventilation and smoke extraction systems, directly affect the reliability of the entire system and the overall fire resistance of the building.
[0003] In recent years, fire-resistant air ducts based on cement-based materials have received widespread attention due to their excellent fire resistance, environmental friendliness, and structural integrity. Cement-based materials possess inherent advantages such as non-combustibility, low smoke, non-toxicity, and high-temperature resistance, enabling them to maintain structural integrity and thermal insulation performance during a fire, effectively preventing the penetration of flames and high-temperature smoke. However, traditional cement-based materials also have significant drawbacks, such as high weight, high brittleness, poor impact and bending resistance, susceptibility to cracking, and poor workability, limiting their application in complex working conditions and large-span air ducts.
[0004] Chinese patent CN106810156B discloses a fiber-reinforced silicate fireproof board produced by mixing industrial waste residue. The fiber-reinforced silicate fireproof board produced by using polished brick waste residue and carbide slag has a low thermal conductivity and good high-temperature dimensional stability, and can be used as the panel of various building passive fire protection systems.
[0005] The existing technology adds a lot of polishing brick waste and carbide slag to the materials, which will result in insufficient mechanical properties of the fireproof air duct materials. If the material strength is low, the products are easily damaged during transportation and use, and cannot meet the normal use requirements, resulting in a short service life. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite material for fireproof air ducts and a method for preparing the same.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A composite material for fireproof air ducts comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 10-15 parts cement, 10-15 parts polished brick waste, 10-15 parts modified powder, 12-17 parts modified slag powder, 14-18 parts expanded perlite, 2-4 parts zinc borate, 5-8 parts magnesium hydroxide, 1.5-3.0 parts basalt chopped fibers, 0.3-0.8 parts polycarboxylate superplasticizer, 0.1-0.3 parts hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and 30-35 parts water.
[0009] Preferably, the cement is P.II.42.5 silicate cement.
[0010] Preferably, the method for preparing the modified powder includes the following steps:
[0011] (1) Soak fly ash cenospheres in hydrochloric acid, stir, wash with water until neutral, and dry to obtain pretreated fly ash cenospheres.
[0012] (2) Dissolve La(NO3)3·6H2O in water to obtain lanthanum nitrate solution. Add pretreated fly ash celery beads to lanthanum nitrate solution, stir, add ammonia water to adjust pH to 10-11, stir at 60-65℃ for 2-4 hours, let stand for aging, filter, wash, and obtain solid.
[0013] (3) After drying the solid, place it in a muffle furnace and heat it up in a programmed manner. Then, let it cool naturally to room temperature, grind and sieve it to obtain the modified powder.
[0014] Preferably, the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 5-8 mol / L.
[0015] Preferably, the concentration of the lanthanum nitrate solution is 0.1-0.5 mol / L, and the pretreated fly ash celery beads are added to the lanthanum nitrate solution at a solid-liquid ratio of 1 g: 14-16 mL.
[0016] Preferably, the programmed temperature rise conditions are as follows: rise to 300-400℃ at 5-10℃ / min and hold for 1-2 hours; then rise to 700-800℃ at 3-8℃ / min and hold for 2-3 hours.
[0017] Existing technologies often incorporate excessive polished brick waste and carbide slag into the composite materials of fireproof ducts, leading to a decrease in the material's flexural strength. The composite material system of this invention improves flexural strength by adding modified powders. Analysis shows that fly ash cenospheres, after acid treatment, have a rougher surface and are loaded with La2O3. The La2O3 forms La-O-Si covalent bonds with the silicon-oxygen bonds in the CSH gel, a cement hydration product, which strengthens the matrix-filler interface bonding and improves the flexural strength of the composite material.
[0018] Preferably, the preparation method of modified slag powder includes the following steps:
[0019] (1) Add calcium oxide to slag powder to obtain a mixture, so that the calcium-silicon molar ratio in the mixture is (1.5-1.6):1. Add water to the mixture and perform wet grinding to obtain a wet-ground mixture.
[0020] (2) Add water to the wet-milled mixture, heat and react, filter and dry after the reaction to obtain modified slag powder.
[0021] Preferably, the wet grinding conditions are: wet grinding for 20-25 minutes at a rotation speed of 250-300 r / min.
[0022] Preferably, the heating reaction conditions are: 80-85℃, 300-350 r / min, for 3-4 hours.
[0023] This invention incorporates modified slag powder into composite materials, which significantly improves the high-temperature resistance of the composites. Analysis shows that modification addresses the issue of the relatively smooth surface of the slag powder particles, reducing particle agglomeration. Simultaneously, the addition of calcium oxide brings the calcium-silicon molar ratio in the mixture to 1.5-1.6:1, which activates the dissolution of the silica-alumina components in the slag and promotes the reaction of active SiO2, Al2O3, and Ca. 2+ The reaction produces hydrated calcium silicate, hydrated calcium aluminate, and hydrated calcium aluminosilicate. Through the heating step, more high-temperature resistant phases are generated, which fill the pores of the composite material and improve the structural integrity at high temperatures.
[0024] This invention provides a method for preparing the composite material for fireproof air ducts, comprising the following steps:
[0025] (1) Mix the raw materials of the composite material used for fireproof air ducts to obtain a mixture;
[0026] (2) Add the mixture into the mold, cure it, demold it, and obtain the composite material for fireproof air ducts.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0028] 1. The composite material of this invention not only possesses excellent flexural strength and high-temperature resistance, but also exhibits good dimensional stability. Under high-temperature environments, the material is not easily deformed or cracked, effectively maintaining the integrity and airtightness of the fireproof duct structure, and significantly improving safety protection capabilities in fire situations.
[0029] 2. The composite material of this invention solves the problem of low mechanical properties caused by polished brick waste residue. Through the compounding of multiple components, the performance of the composite material is comprehensively improved. It is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, meets the strict requirements of modern buildings for green and safe materials, extends the service life of air ducts, reduces the later maintenance cost, and has significant economic and social benefits.

[0084] Performance testing
[0085] The composite materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were subjected to performance tests. The thickness was 9 mm and the size was 2440 mm × 1220 mm.
[0086] 1. Flexural strength at room temperature: Tested according to GB / T3001-2017 "Test method for flexural strength of refractory materials at room temperature".
[0087] 2. Impact strength: Tested according to GB / T1043.1-2008, using unnotched specimens.
[0088] 3. Fire resistance: The evaluation shall be based on GB8624-2012 "Classification of Combustion Performance of Building Materials and Products".
[0089] 4. High temperature stability: After holding at 1000℃ for 5 hours, the average deformation rate was tested. The length / width deformation rate = (length after heating - initial length) ÷ initial length × 100%. Then, the deformation rates in the length and width directions were added together and the average value was calculated to obtain the average deformation rate.
[0090] The results are shown in Table 1.
[0091] Table 1 Test Results
[0092]
[0093] As shown in Table 1, the composite materials of Examples 1-3 exhibit excellent overall performance, with an apparent density of less than 0.9 g / cm³. 3 It also has excellent flexural strength and impact resistance, as well as good high-temperature resistance.
[0094] In Comparative Example 1, the composite material using unmodified fly ash cenospheres exhibited decreased flexural strength, and at high temperatures, the lack of stable La2O3 grain boundaries resulted in reduced heat resistance.
[0095] In Comparative Example 2, the ratio of modified powder to modified slag powder was changed, resulting in insufficient density and a decrease in impact resistance.
[0096] In Comparative Example 3, replacing the modified slag powder with slag powder resulted in a decrease in high-temperature resistance.
[0097] In Comparative Example 4, the reaction time was too long, resulting in a decrease in mechanical properties. Analysis suggests this was due to excessive reaction during the preparation of the modified powder, which consumed excessive Ca. 2+ / Si 4+ This leads to excessive gel phase formation and increased brittleness.
[0098] In Comparative Example 5, insufficient reaction time resulted in decreased mechanical properties. Analysis indicated that the reaction was incomplete during powder modification, leading to insufficient CSH gel formation, a loose structure, poor density, and decreased impact strength.
[0099] In Comparative Example 6, an increase in the calcium-silicon molar ratio led to a decrease in impact resistance. Analysis suggests that a high calcium-silicon molar ratio generates excess Ca(OH)₂, which easily expands and cracks at high temperatures. Simultaneously, the reduction in the ductile phase further contributes to the decrease in impact resistance.
[0100] In Comparative Example 7, a decrease in the calcium-silicon molar ratio resulted in poorer high-temperature resistance and flexural strength. Analysis suggests that insufficient calcium limits CSH gel formation, leading to low structural strength.
[0101] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
