Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building materials technology, specifically, it relates to a production process for self-insulating blocks that utilizes solid waste for co-foaming. Background Technology

[0002] Developing efficient and energy-saving building materials, especially new wall materials that combine load-bearing and thermal insulation functions, has become one of the key goals in promoting building energy conservation. Among the many wall materials, self-insulating blocks have received widespread attention from the industry because they can integrate the building envelope and thermal insulation functions into one, effectively avoiding problems such as hollowing, falling off, and fire hazards associated with external insulation systems, as well as the space occupied by internal insulation systems.

[0003] The raw materials for existing self-insulating blocks largely rely on natural aggregates (such as quartz sand and limestone) and high-quality cementitious materials (such as high-grade cement), which not only exacerbates the pressure on the extraction of natural mineral resources but also leads to persistently high production costs. On the other hand, my country generates massive amounts of solid waste annually during industrial production and urban construction, such as fly ash, slag, desulfurization gypsum, steel slag, tailings sand, and recycled construction waste powder. The accumulation of these solid wastes not only occupies a large amount of land resources but also poses potential pollution risks to soil, water, and air. How to achieve large-scale, high-value-added resource utilization has become an urgent social and environmental issue.

[0004] In summary, existing self-insulating block production processes still face challenges in terms of resource consumption, performance optimization, and environmental friendliness, while the need for large-scale solid waste resource utilization is extremely urgent. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop an innovative production process to address these issues and meet the higher demands of the building materials technology field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a production process for self-insulating blocks that utilizes solid waste for co-foaming.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A process for producing self-insulating blocks using solid waste co-foaming includes the following steps: A1. Add cement, lime, perlite, gypsum slurry, waste slurry, tailings slurry and aluminum powder into a mixer and mix to make a mixed slurry; A2. The mixed slurry obtained in step A1 is fixedly poured into the mold. After pouring, the mold is slightly vibrated to remove large air bubbles and make the slurry level. It is then transferred to the static curing chamber for initial static curing to obtain the self-insulating block blank. A3. Position the self-insulating block blank obtained in step A2, cut the blank with a cutting machine, collect the waste, and then cure it to obtain a self-insulating block that utilizes solid waste for synergistic foaming.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the thermal insulation block is composed of the following components: by dry weight: 14%-22% cement, 6%-11% lime, and 6%-9% perlite; by weight of water-containing slurry: 2.5%-5% gypsum slurry, 18%-23% waste slurry, and 35%-56% tailings slurry; the water-cement ratio is 0.65-0.98.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the amount of aluminum powder used accounts for 0.1%-0.2% of the total mass.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the dry material in the tailings slurry includes tailings and silica mud.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the waste slurry is a mixture of waste materials and water, wherein the waste materials include gypsum, tailings, lime, cement and aluminum powder.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the stirring speed in step A1 is 800-1000 r / min, and the stirring time is 40-60 s.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the temperature of the mold in step A2 is 40-50℃.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the initial aging temperature in step A2 is 50-60℃, and the time is 1-2 hours.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the curing operation in step A3 is as follows: the billet is placed in a steam curing chamber, and under a pressure of 1.0-1.2MPa, it is first heated to 180-190℃ and cured at a constant temperature for 6-8 hours. Then, it is slowly cooled down to normal pressure for 2-3 hours, and after being taken out, it is naturally cured for 7 days.

[0015] The perlite in the formula, as a natural lightweight aggregate, effectively reduces the thermal conductivity of the blocks, enhancing their thermal insulation capabilities and achieving "self-insulation," thus reducing the building's reliance on additional insulation materials. Furthermore, the tailings mortar contains silica mud, a lightweight powder that, after reacting with cementitious materials, forms CSH gel, which refines the internal pore structure of the blocks (forming tiny, closed pores), reducing heat conduction channels. Combined with the low thermal conductivity of perlite, the silica mud synergistically enhances the thermal insulation effect of the blocks, further reducing thermal conductivity and building energy consumption. The extensive use of industrial solid waste such as gypsum slurry, waste slurry, and tailings mortar as raw materials transforms waste into valuable resources. This not only reduces production costs but also alleviates the environmental pressure of industrial solid waste, aligning with the requirements of green and sustainable development.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: Advantage 1: The addition of perlite can effectively reduce the thermal conductivity of the blocks, significantly improve the thermal insulation performance, and can work synergistically with silica mud to reduce building energy consumption; Advantage 2: It makes extensive use of solid waste such as waste slurry and tailings slurry, and recycles and reuses cutting waste, realizing efficient recycling of solid waste resources, reducing environmental pollution, and reducing the consumption of raw materials and production costs. Advantage 3: The combination of aluminum powder foaming and static curing and autoclaving creates a uniform pore structure inside the blocks, balancing lightweight and thermal insulation performance. Furthermore, the casting and precise cutting processes ensure product dimensional accuracy and improve quality stability. Advantage 4: The synergistic effect of multiple raw materials takes into account thermal insulation, mechanical properties and environmental benefits, which meets the development needs of green building materials and has a wide range of applications.
