AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the calibration method of methylene blue solution for the MB value test of manufactured sand is complicated and not accurate enough, which affects the quality of the project. Moreover, when the shelf life of methylene blue solution is approaching, it is impossible to effectively determine whether it can continue to be used.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of material performance detection, and particularly relates to a calibration device and method for methylene blue standard solution for machine-made sand MB value test. BACKGROUND
[0002] The methylene blue value (MB value) of machine-made sand is an index for judging the adsorption performance of machine-made sand, and is helpful for distinguishing whether the particles smaller than 0.075 mm in the machine-made sand are useful stone powder or harmful mud powder. Methylene blue is a water-soluble dye, and its molecules can be dissociated into cations in water. The microstructure of mud powder in machine-made sand is a loose and porous layered structure, and the surface is negatively charged in the aqueous solution, having a strong adsorption capacity for methylene blue cations; while the stone powder is a small particle produced by mechanical crushing of parent rock, and the surface is dense and has weak adsorption capacity. Therefore, the content of mud powder in machine-made sand can be judged by the color change of the suspension liquid and the consumption of methylene blue solution in the titration process.
[0003] The shelf life of methylene blue solution for machine-made sand MB value determination should not exceed 28 days, but the shelf life of methylene blue reagent purchased on the market is usually much longer than that of methylene blue solution. It is not clear whether the methylene blue reagent or methylene blue solution can be used for MB value determination when the shelf life is approaching. Due to the long time span of engineering projects, the methylene blue reagent is replaced or its shelf life is approaching during the engineering cycle. At this time, it is not clear whether the prepared methylene blue solution can continue to be used, and whether the difference between the MB value determined by the initial methylene blue solution is acceptable. Therefore, if the methylene blue solution is not calibrated, it will affect the MB value determination results, and further affect the concrete quality and even the engineering quality.
[0004] At present, the calibration of methylene blue solution includes spectrophotometric analysis, high liquid chromatography analysis, chemical titration (iodine method), etc. Among them, the spectrophotometric analysis of the suspension liquid is easy to settle, which has an impact on the test results, and the operation is complex and the preparation of standard sample requires high requirements; the high liquid chromatography analysis has high accuracy, but the instrument is expensive; the chemical titration (iodine method) is complex in operation and requires high professional ability of the test personnel in chemical analysis; all these are not conducive to the calibration in the engineering project site laboratory.
[0005] In addition, the machine-made sand methylene blue test device and method steps have defects affecting the calibration accuracy, such as: there are stirring dead angles, the bottom of the suspension liquid cannot be stirred; the diameter range of the titration precipitate is large and inconsistent, and the color halo width measurement method is not clearly specified; the manual pipette has low accurate suction efficiency and slow speed; the glass rod dipped in the methylene blue solution has inconsistent amount, resulting in inconsistent diameter and irregular shape of the titration precipitate, so the calibration appliance needs to be improved and new devices need to be added.
[0006] CN119269426A discloses a test mechanism sand MB value detection with methylene blue solution reagent concentration and MB value result correction method, using spectrophotometry to compare the absorbance difference of copper sulfate pentahydrate solution and methylene blue solution whether in the range of ±0.02, within the range, the methylene blue solution can be directly used for MB value test, but the copper sulfate pentahydrate will slowly lose crystallization water, and will be converted into copper sulfate trihydrate when the temperature is 45℃, the property is relatively unstable, that is, the reference standard may change, in addition, the spectrophotometry itself has the disadvantages of complex operation and low precision, and the three-step dilution method of standard solution is difficult to configure and is easy to produce deviation. In addition, the main purpose of CN119269426A is to correct the MB value, the purpose of detection is to find the influencing factors and then improve the detection method to directly judge whether the product is qualified, but it is unreasonable to correct the MB value of the product by using the reagent with unstable property in the later period.

The center of the color halo ring 3-1 is located on the measuring ring of the color halo test plate 3.
[0037] Example 1 like Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a method for calibrating a methylene blue standard solution for testing the MB value of manufactured sand. It is recommended to use the improved MB value testing and calibration apparatus of this application during titration to improve calibration accuracy. The method includes the following specific steps: First, a 10 g / L methylene blue standard solution GY-10 was prepared using anhydrous methylene blue reagent with tested purity and corresponding test reports. Prepare a methylene blue solution with a theoretical concentration of 10 g / L using reagents to be calibrated or newly purchased. Information on methylene blue reagents is shown in Table 1.
[0038] The kaolin clay had a 45 μm sieve residue of 0.03% and a specific surface area of 35.6 m². 2 / g, dried to constant weight in an oven at (100 ± 5) ℃ and cooled in the oven, weighed 15.00g, 30.00g and 45.00g of kaolin respectively, with the mass accurate to 0.01g, and placed on a magnetic stirrer at 600 r / min and stirred continuously for 5 min to prepare a uniform kaolin suspension; The kaolin suspension is stirred using a magnetic stirrer until the end of the test, the methylene blue standard solution is added to the kaolin suspension using a digital pipette, and after stirring for 1-5 min, the suspension is taken up using an electrically powered micro-adjustable pipette, the amount of suspension is adjusted to form a 10 mm ± 1 mm diameter precipitate, and calibration is performed using a calibration device. The rapid quantitative filter paper 4 is clamped using the magnetic filter paper clamp 2 and placed on the special titration table 1, so that the rapid quantitative filter paper 4 is suspended and flat, and the color halo test plate 3 is placed above the magnetic filter paper clamp 2 to form the calibration device. The suspension is dropped from the center of the color halo titration hole 3-1-1 of the color halo test plate 3, and whether a color halo appears is observed. If the width of the color halo is ≥1 mm, the test is terminated, and the amount of methylene blue standard solution consumed is recorded.

The amount of methylene blue standard solution consumed is recorded as shown in Table 2, and the relationship curve between the amount of methylene blue standard solution consumed and the mass of kaolin is plotted as shown in Figure 2 The fitting results obtained by linear fitting are shown in Table 3.
[0039] where the coefficient of the first term and the vertical intercept are a and b, respectively. Since the termination condition specified in the standard is the appearance of a stable blue color halo in the suspension, the vertical intercept b of the fitting curve should not deviate too much from the origin. When the offset distance b is not greater than 3.0, it is considered that the fitting curve is accurate. At this time, if the slope difference is not greater than 0.10, it is considered that the concentration of the methylene blue solution to be calibrated or prepared from newly purchased reagents is the same as that of the reference solution, and can be used for MB value calculation. If the difference is greater than 0.10, it is considered that the concentration of the methylene blue solution to be calibrated or prepared from newly purchased reagents is significantly different from that of the methylene blue standard solution, and cannot be used for MB value calculation.
[0040] Table 1 Methylene blue reagent information Table 2 Amount of methylene blue solution consumed at different mass of kaolin (unit: ml) R 2The deviation distance of the longitudinal intercept b is not greater than 3.0, indicating that the linear fitting effect is good and the fitting curve is accurate; compared with the slope a of the reference solution GY-10 which is 0.57, the difference 0.10 is in the range [0.47, 0.67], and from Table 3, it can be seen that CD-01, YF-02, SM-03, XY-08 and GY-09 are all in the slope difference range, so it can be considered that the concentration of the methylene blue solution prepared by the reagent to be calibrated or newly purchased is the same as that of the methylene blue standard solution; while GS-04, YK-05, XY-06 and XY-07 are not in the slope difference range, it is considered that the concentration of the methylene blue solution prepared by the reagent to be calibrated or newly purchased is significantly different from that of the methylene blue standard solution.
[0041] Table 3 Fitting results of methylene blue solution consumption and kaolin mass The MB value is calculated by the formula MB = V / m x 10, wherein V (ml) is the consumption of methylene blue solution, m (g) is the sample mass, and 10 is the coefficient for converting the volume of methylene blue solution to mass. The acceptable deviation of the MB value of machine-made sand is 0.1-0.2 g / kg, while the clay content of kaolin is significantly higher than that of machine-made sand, and the MB value is usually 5-10 times that of machine-made sand, so the acceptable deviation of the MB value of kaolin is set to 1.0 g / kg. When the average value of the MB value is compared with the methylene blue standard solution, the deviation is not greater than 1.0 g / kg, it can be considered that the current methylene blue reagent has not changed in nature and can continue to be used, otherwise if the deviation is greater than 1.0 g / kg, the methylene blue reagent cannot be used. The MB value calculation results corresponding to different kaolin masses are shown in Table 4, and the range, median and average of the MB value corresponding to the methylene blue reagent produced by different manufacturers are shown in the box plot as Figure 3 The results show that the MB value of the GY-10 methylene blue standard solution is 6.22, so the value range of the MB value is [5.22, 7.22], the MB value determination results of CD-01, YF-02, SM-03 and GY-09 are within the reasonable range, and can continue to be used for the determination of the MB value of construction sand, while the MB value determination results of GS-04, YK-05, XY-06, XY-07 and XY-08 are not within the reasonable range, and cannot continue to be used.
[0042] Table 4 MB value (unit: g / kg) corresponding to different kaolin masses Comparative Example 1 The reference solution with a concentration of 10 g / L was prepared using anhydrous methylene blue solution, 15.00 g of kaolin, illite and montmorillonite were weighed and placed in an oven at a temperature of 100±5 ℃ to dry to constant weight and cool to room temperature in the oven. The kaolin was made into a suspension and placed on a magnetic stirrer to stir at a speed of 600 r / min for 5 min, and the titration experiment started after the magnetic stirrer stopped working. The appearance of blue halo in the suspension was the termination condition of the experiment, and the results were as shown in Table 5.
[0043] Table 5: Calibration experiment results of different objects (unit: g / kg) Through the methylene blue MB value test, the MB values of 15 g samples were respectively: kaolin 6.22 g / kg, illite 15.49 g / kg, and montmorillonite 59.56 g / kg. The consumption of kaolin methylene blue reagent and the titration time were relatively the shortest. The MB value calibration deviation ranges of kaolin, illite and montmorillonite were [-0.22, 0.45], [-0.80, 0.84] and [-2.89, 3.77] respectively. It can be found that the deviation range of MB value gradually expands, the sensitivity gradually increases, that is, the error of single experiment increases, and the repeatability becomes poor. The adsorption capacity of kaolin is much lower than that of montmorillonite, and its sensitivity to methylene blue solution consumption is lower, which will not produce large experimental errors due to sample differences. The uniformity of the standard sample is much better than that of montmorillonite, and kaolin is not hydrophilic, has low environmental sensitivity, and is more helpful to keep the standard sample stable under normal storage conditions.
