Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geotechnical engineering materials technology, specifically relating to a low-carbon, controllable, low-strength material based on concrete residue and waste residue, and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Controlled low-strength material (CLSM), as a self-compacting filler, possesses characteristics such as high fluidity, self-filling, and self-compacting properties, and is widely used in various geotechnical engineering projects. Current CLSM mainly uses cement as the core binder, combined with admixtures such as fly ash and mineral powder, and aggregates such as natural sand and manufactured sand. This presents the following problems:
[0003] 1. High cement usage (50~200kg / m³) leads to high material costs, and the cement production process generates significant carbon emissions. Producing 1 ton of cement results in high material costs. Approximately 0.732 tons of grade cement were discharged. This results in CLSM having a cement carbon footprint of 36.6~146.4 kg. / m³;
[0004] 2. The centrifugal residue generated during the production of prestressed concrete pipe piles (1-2 tons per cubic meter of concrete) has a low utilization rate, high transportation and disposal costs, and is prone to environmental pollution. The bonding properties of the unhydrated cement and mineral admixtures it contains are not fully utilized.
[0005] 3. Fine waste residue (fine particles less than 0.15mm) and coarse waste residue (particles of 0.15~5mm) generated by concrete mixing plants are difficult to recycle for concrete production due to poor particle size distribution and high mud powder content. The cost of off-site transportation and disposal is high, and stockpiling takes up space and poses environmental risks.
[0006] 4. Current CLSM production relies on cement and mineral admixtures, natural or artificial sand, and fresh water, resulting in high resource consumption, which does not meet the needs of green and low-carbon development.
[0007] Therefore, developing a low-carbon CLSM (Concentrated Solid Waste Components) that utilizes industrial waste to replace traditional raw materials and its preparation technology has become the key to solving the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This invention aims to solve the technical problems of existing controllable low-strength materials (CLSM) relying on cement as the core cementing material, resulting in high costs and large carbon emissions, as well as low utilization rates, high treatment costs, and environmental pollution of industrial waste such as concrete residue, fine and coarse waste residue from concrete mixing plants. The invention provides a low-strength material with all solid waste components, low carbon emissions, environmental friendliness, low cost, and controllable performance, as well as its preparation method, to achieve the dual goals of on-site resource utilization of industrial waste and green upgrading of engineering materials.
[0009] The present invention relates to a low-carbon, controllable, low-strength material based on concrete residue and slag, which is composed of the following solid waste components and a retarder in the following mass ratios (per cubic meter of material):
[0010] 184~911kg of residual concrete binder (dry basis), 62~262kg of fine waste residue (dry basis), 310~420kg of coarse waste residue (dry basis), 452~635kg of recycled water, and 0.092~1.822kg of molasses (i.e., 0.05%~0.20% of the mass of dry-basis residual concrete binder).
[0011] The concrete residue binder (i.e., pretreated concrete residue) is obtained by diluting concrete residue with water and pretreating it with molasses. It has a density of 1.4~2.0 g / cm³, a solid content of 50%~90%, and a fluidity retention time of 4~10 h.
[0012] Preferably, the concrete slurry is industrial waste generated during the centrifugal molding process of PHC pipe piles (prestressed high-strength concrete pipe piles), with a solid content of 65%~90% and a density of 1.6~2.0 g / cm³. Cement and mineral admixtures account for 60%~90% of the slurry mass (dry basis), and the initial fluidity of the slurry is 200~400 mm. The concrete slurry is mixed with ISO standard sand at a mass ratio of 1:1 to prepare mortar specimens (size 40mm×40mm×160mm). The mortar specimens have a 7-day compressive strength of 40~65MPa and a 28-day compressive strength of 50~75MPa. The total solid waste content can reach over 95%, which significantly reduces the land occupation cost and secondary pollution risk of industrial solid waste disposal, while also reducing the consumption of natural sand, cement, and other resources, thus significantly reducing resource consumption.
[0013] Preferably, the molasses content is 0.05% to 0.20% of the dry weight of the concrete slurry binder. This ensures that the pretreated concrete slurry binder maintains its fluidity for 4 to 10 hours and retains good hydration and bonding properties, while also guaranteeing that the produced controllable low-strength concrete slurry material can set and harden within 24 hours after pouring. Tests show that untreated concrete slurry loses its fluidity quickly, decreasing to 60 mm in about one hour, essentially losing its fluidity, which is detrimental to production applications. When the molasses content is 0.05% to 0.20% of the concrete slurry, the slurry fluidity (≥150 mm) can be maintained for 4 to 10 hours, and the setting time does not exceed 24 hours, which better meets the requirements of production and construction. Excessive molasses content will cause excessive retardation, affecting the setting and hardening time and early strength of the CLSM, delaying subsequent construction. The appropriate molasses content is 0.05%-0.20% of the mass of the concrete slurry-based binder (dry basis).
[0014] Table 1. Effect of molasses content on the retention of concrete slurry fluidity
[0015]
[0016] Preferably, the fine waste residue is ultrafine particles smaller than 0.15mm obtained by natural sedimentation and separation of residual slurry from concrete mixing plants in a sedimentation tank;
[0017] The fine waste residue mainly consists of ultrafine particles, clay particles, partially hydrated cementitious materials (cement and mineral admixtures) and their hydration products in concrete aggregates;
[0018] The coarse waste residue is obtained by separating and dewatering the residual slurry from the concrete mixing plant through a sand and gravel separation system, with a particle size of less than 5mm.
[0019] The coarse waste residue is mainly composed of natural sand particles, artificial sand particles, fine crushed stone particles, and a small amount of hardened cement and mortar.
[0020] Its particle size distribution meets the following requirements: particles with a diameter of 2.36mm to 5mm account for 30% to 50%, particles with a diameter of 1.18mm to 2.36mm account for 15% to 30%, particles with a diameter of 0.15mm to 1.18mm account for 20% to 40%, and particles smaller than 0.15mm account for no more than 15%.
[0021] The coarse waste residue has a fineness modulus of 2.3 to 3.3, a crushing value of ≤30%, and a mud content of ≤5%.
[0022] A method for preparing a low-carbon, controllable, low-strength material based on concrete residue and slag includes the following steps:
[0023] S1: Pretreatment of Excess Concrete Slurry: The centrifugal excess slurry of the prestressed concrete pipe pile, the recycled water from the mixing plant, and the molasses admixture are added to the mixing tank at a mass ratio of 100:(0~75):(0.05~0.20). The mixture is stirred at 60~80 r / min for 3~5 min until uniform. Stirring is continued to ensure the uniformity of the excess slurry and prevent the sedimentation and segregation of some denser solid particles. The density and solid content are tested to ensure that the density of the pretreated concrete excess slurry binder meets the requirement of 1.4~2.0 g / cm³.
[0024] ① Molasses solution content = Molasses solids content / Molasses solution solids content;
[0025] ② The density of the pretreated concrete slurry-based binder was tested according to standard ASTM D6023-2016;
[0026] ③ The solids content and moisture content of the residual concrete slurry after pretreatment were tested using the drying method:
[0027] Solid content of residual slurry in pretreated concrete = Mass of dried sample / Mass of undried sample;
[0028] Moisture content of residual slurry in pretreated concrete = (mass of sample before drying - mass of sample after drying) / mass of sample before drying;
[0029] S2: Moisture content test of solid components: The actual moisture content of fine waste residue and coarse waste residue was determined by drying method (105℃±5℃, dried to constant weight), with the moisture content of fine waste residue being 100%~200% and the moisture content of coarse waste residue being 0%~15%.
[0030] S3: Production mix proportion correction: Based on the dry basis mix proportion described in claim 1, calculate the actual amount of each component according to the following formula:
[0031] ① Amount of wet fine waste residue = Amount of dry fine waste residue × (1 + Measured moisture content of fine waste residue);
[0032] ② Amount of wet coarse waste residue = Amount of dry coarse waste residue × (1 + Measured moisture content of coarse waste residue);
[0033] ③ Moisture content of residual cementitious material in pretreated concrete = Amount of residual cementitious material in wet pretreated concrete × Measured moisture content of residual cementitious material in wet pretreated concrete;
[0034] ④ Actual amount of recycled water added = Total water consumption in dry mix proportion - Moisture content of wet pretreated concrete slurry binder - Moisture content of wet fine waste residue - Moisture content of wet coarse waste residue;
[0035] S4: Preparation of mixture: The pretreated concrete residue binder, wet fine waste residue, wet coarse waste residue and actual added recycled water are sequentially put into a forced mixer and stirred at 60~80r / min for 5~10min until the mixture is uniform and free of lumps. The discharge temperature is controlled at 5~35℃.
[0036] S5: Transportation, pouring and curing: Controlled low-strength material mixtures are transported by concrete mixer trucks, with a transportation time of ≤3 hours. They are poured using methods such as chutes and pumps, and after setting and hardening, they form controlled low-strength materials.
[0037] Preferably, in step S1, the molasses has a solid content of 40%~60% and a pH value of 5.0~7.0. Its function is to slow down the cement hydration rate in the residual concrete slurry and extend the fluidity retention time and usable time of the residual concrete slurry. The raw materials are mostly industrial waste, which are inexpensive to obtain and can even be recycled for a fee. Compared with traditional cement-based controllable low-strength filler materials, the production cost is reduced by 35%~70%, while saving the cost of solid waste treatment and creating additional revenue for enterprises. Molasses can also be replaced by cement retarder such as lignin sulfonate (byproduct of papermaking wood pulp), sodium gluconate, and white sugar.
[0038] Preferably, in step S4, the mixture needs to be tested for quality before discharge. If the fluidity is less than 200 mm, recycled water is added, with each addition amount ≤ 5% of the total water consumption. If the fluidity is greater than 350 mm, coarse waste residue is added, with each addition amount ≤ 10% of the dry basis coarse waste residue consumption. After adjustment, stir for 1~2 minutes before discharge.
[0039] Preferably, the recycled water used in the material preparation process meets the following criteria:
[0040] pH value: 9~14;
[0041] Insoluble matter content: ≤30000 mg / L;
[0042] Soluble content: ≤10000 mg / L;
[0043] Content: ≤3500mg / L;
[0044] Alkali content: ≤1500 mg / L;
[0045] SO4 2- Content: ≤2700mg / L;
[0046] The prepared controllable low strength material (CLSM) has the following physical and mechanical properties: density 1502~1750kg / m³, flowability 235~295mm, water bleeding rate ≤5%, 7-day unconfined compressive strength 0.19~7.0MPa, and 28-day unconfined compressive strength 0.32~9.5MPa.
[0047] Through residual slurry pretreatment and mixing, the material performance in the preferred solution can be maintained for more than 3 hours, with a bleeding rate of ≤5%. The mechanical properties and working properties are synergistically matched, adapting to different engineering load-bearing and filling requirements, and applicable to a wide range of scenarios.
[0048] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:
[0049] 1. Highly innovative and filling a technological gap: It is the first time that concrete residue has been proposed as the core cementing material to completely replace cement and mineral admixtures, and to prepare controllable low strength material (CLSM) in conjunction with various industrial wastes and by-products. This solves the industry pain points of low utilization rate of concrete residue and high carbon and high cost of traditional CLSM. The technical route is novel and feasible.
[0050] 2. Outstanding green sustainability: The raw materials are all industrial waste and recycled materials, with a carbon footprint close to zero. The preparation process has virtually no additional carbon emission links, reducing carbon emissions by more than 70% compared to conventional controllable low-strength materials. There are no new pollutant emissions during the production process, realizing the closed-loop utilization of "waste-recycled resources-engineering materials". This is in line with the development trend of green building materials and meets the needs of "dual carbon" goals and "zero waste city" construction.
[0051] 3. The product is highly designable and adaptable to a wide range of scenarios: The prepared controllable low-strength material has good flowability, filling and self-compacting properties, and its flowability, strength and other properties can be adjusted by mix design to meet the needs of different geotechnical engineering scenarios such as trench backfilling, foundation pit filling, bridge abutment and culvert backfilling, roadbed and subbase filling, etc., making it highly applicable.
[0052] 4. Win-win economic and social benefits: On the one hand, it creates new economic growth points for concrete pipe pile plants and mixing plants, transforming waste into marketable geotechnical engineering materials; on the other hand, it reduces resource consumption and environmental pollution, lowers carbon emissions, and helps the industry's green transformation, thus possessing significant economic and social value.
[0053] 5. The production process is optimized based on existing concrete production technology, requiring no complex equipment modification. The mix proportion calculation method is simple and clear, and the quality control standards are clear. Enterprises in the industry can quickly master and scale up production, and the prospects for promotion and application are broad. Attached Figure Description

[0173]
[0174] As shown in Tables 3 and 5, the higher the amount of residual concrete binder (dry basis), the higher the strength of the controllable low strength material (CLSM). The strength of CLSM decreases exponentially with its water-binder ratio (W / B) and increases linearly with the reciprocal of the water-binder ratio (W / B), 1 / (W / B) (or B / W). The mathematical fitting formula is:
[0175] 28-day unconfined compressive strength = 5.3366 × [1 / (W / B)] - 1.3985;
[0176] The greater the total water consumption, the greater the water-to-solid ratio (W / S) of the controllable low strength material (CLSM), and the greater the fluidity of the CLSM (except for Example 3). In addition, reducing the amount of fine waste residue (see Examples 3-5) helps to improve the fluidity of the CLSM.
[0177] The less total water consumption, the smaller the water-to-solid ratio (W / S) of controllable low-strength materials (CLSM), and the greater the density of CLSM.
[0178] The less total water consumption, the smaller the water-to-solid ratio (W / S) of controllable low-strength materials (CLSM), and the lower the CLSM bleeding rate.
[0179] The production mix proportions for various embodiments of low-carbon controllable low-strength materials (CLSM) based on concrete slurry and waste residue are shown in Table 4. CLSM with lower strength grades and higher fluidity should preferably use low-density pretreated concrete slurry as a binder, while CLSM with higher strength grades should use high-density pretreated concrete slurry as a binder. The fluidity of CLSM can be adjusted by varying the amounts of fine and coarse waste residue; reducing the amount of fine waste residue helps improve the fluidity of CLSM.
[0180] The core of strength control: The mass ratio of the amount of residual concrete binder (dry basis) and the total water content to the amount of residual concrete binder (dry basis) (i.e., water-binder ratio W / B) is the key to regulating the strength of CLSM. The more residual concrete binder (dry basis) and the smaller the water-binder ratio W / B, the higher the strength of the controllable low-strength material prepared.
[0181] Flowability adaptation logic: The lower the strength, the higher the total water consumption, which easily meets the requirements of high flowability and self-filling and self-compacting; the higher the strength, the lower the total water consumption, and the lower the flowability. By optimizing the amount of fine waste residue and coarse waste residue, the flowability can reach more than 200mm, which meets the requirements of self-filling and self-compacting.
[0182] Environmental protection and cost synergy: All strength grades achieve full solid waste resource utilization. The higher the strength, the more concrete slurry binder is used, and the higher the cement substitution, resulting in more significant carbon emission reduction and cost savings. For example, high-strength concrete slurry-based CLSM has a carbon footprint that is reduced by about 90% (about 150 kg CO2 / m³) and a cost reduction of 50% to 70% compared to traditional cement-mineral admixture composite cementitious material-based CLSM.
