Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new materials, and specifically discloses an underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based plugging material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In scenarios such as karst geological seepage and emergency repairs of cofferdams in water conservancy projects, underwater rapid plugging materials must simultaneously meet multiple stringent performance requirements: resistance to water erosion and non-dispersion, rapid setting and hardening capacity, early high strength development characteristics, and environmental adaptability. Traditional silicate cement-based materials face a core contradiction in underwater environments—to improve anti-dispersion properties, thickening components (such as cellulose ethers) need to be added, but high dosages will significantly delay setting and weaken early strength; while relying solely on special cements (such as sulfoaluminate cement) can shorten setting time, the hydration products are easily washed away by water flow due to insufficient stability.

[0003] Current mainstream technologies have significant limitations: while polymer-modified cement systems improve underwater adhesion, the retarding effect of polymers leads to slow strength development, making it difficult to meet the requirements for rapid water sealing; chemical grouting materials (such as polyurethane) possess instantaneous expansion characteristics, but are costly and pose environmental risks; rapid-setting cement-based materials often rely on high-alkalinity activators (such as sodium aluminate), which exacerbate material shrinkage and reduce long-term durability. Furthermore, existing technologies mostly use high-cost aggregates such as quartz sand, failing to effectively address the issue of industrial solid waste resource utilization.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a cement-based plugging material that combines underwater anti-dispersion properties, minute-level rapid setting ability, and hour-level high strength development, while also realizing the high-value-added utilization of industrial solid waste, in order to meet the rapid plugging needs of complex dynamic water environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention discloses an underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based plugging material and its preparation method.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention includes the following technical solutions.

[0007] An underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based sealing material, composed of the following components by mass percentage:

[0008]

[0009]

[0010] In the above scheme, sulfoaluminate cement provides a fast-hardening skeleton, lithium salt accelerator accelerates hydration, and silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and iron tailings powder synergistically increase viscosity and resist dispersion. In some embodiments, minute-level setting (≤20min) and underwater strength retention rate ≥90% are achieved (Test Example 2), and the overall cost is reduced by 80%.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based plugging material, the preparation method of the silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is as follows: 5g of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is added to 100mL of methanol, stirred and dispersed at 400r / min for 8min, 1g of composite silane coupling agent is added, heated to 45℃, stirred and reacted for 1h, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; the composite silane coupling agent is composed of KH550 and KH570 in a mass ratio of 1:1; the synergistic effect of silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and iron tailings micropowder significantly improves the cohesiveness of the slurry.

[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based plugging material, the lithium salt accelerator is selected from at least one of lithium silicate or lithium carbonate. In the above scheme, lithium silicate / lithium carbonate has a specific activating effect on the hydration phase (ettringite) of sulfoaluminate cement, which can avoid the shrinkage risk of high-alkalinity accelerators (such as sodium aluminate) and ensure low-temperature final setting ≤45min (see Test Example 3 in the specific implementation).

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based sealing material, the retarder is selected from at least one of boric acid, sodium gluconate, or sodium citrate. In the above scheme, boric acid / sodium gluconate / sodium citrate selectively inhibit the early hydration peak of aluminate, which can precisely control the setting gradient and avoid the failure mechanism caused by excessive retarder addition, which leads to initial setting >20 min (see Comparative Example 4).

[0014] Furthermore, in the aforementioned underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based sealing material, the water-reducing agent is a polycarboxylate-based high-efficiency water-reducing agent or a naphthalene-based water-reducing agent. The polycarboxylate / naphthalene-based water-reducing agent is suitable for low water-cement ratio (28-32%) systems, ensuring a slurry flowability ≥200mm and overcoming the pumping resistance caused by the thickening effect of silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.

[0015] Furthermore, the aforementioned underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based plugging material has an initial setting time of ≤20 minutes and a final setting time of ≤40 minutes; a 1-hour compressive strength of ≥5MPa and a 24-hour compressive strength of ≥15MPa.

[0016] Furthermore, the aforementioned underwater non-dispersible, fast-hardening, early-strength cement-based plugging material has iron tailings with a fineness of 100-200 mesh, SiO2 content ≥65%, and Fe2O3 content ≤10%. The fineness of the iron tailings (100-200 mesh) matches the particle size distribution of cement, and the active SiO2 participates in secondary hydration, resulting in the following beneficial effects: reduced bleeding of micro-aggregates (bleeding rate ≤0.8%) and a 15.4% increase in strength (see Test Example 4), while reducing costs by 27.6%.

[0017] This invention also discloses a method for preparing the above-mentioned sealing material, comprising the following steps:

[0018] (a) Sulfoaluminate cement, silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lithium salt accelerator, water-reducing agent, retarder and iron tailings are dry-mixed evenly according to the proportion to obtain premixed powder;

[0019] (b) During on-site construction, the premixed powder and water are added to a high-speed mixer with a speed of ≥1000 rpm and stirred to form a uniform slurry; the mass ratio of water to premixed powder is 28-32:100.

[0020] (c) Inject the grout into the leaking area using a pressure grouting device.

[0021] The preparation method uses dry pre-dispersion + high-speed wet mixing (≥1000rpm) to solve the problem of clumping of silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, achieving a slurry uniformity variation coefficient ≤5% and ensuring stable anti-dispersion properties.

[0022] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, step (a) dry mixing process uses a double-helix conical mixer, with a mixing time ≥15 minutes and a mixing uniformity variation coefficient ≤5%. The double-helix conical mixer is used to eliminate component segregation caused by differences in specific gravity.

[0023] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, the stirring time in step (b) is controlled within 1-3 minutes, and the slurry fluidity is ≥200mm. In this scheme, the high-speed stirring shear force for 1-3 minutes breaks the air bubbles encapsulated in the silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, resulting in a dense slurry without pores, thus avoiding water seepage channels after slurrying.

[0024] This invention also discloses the application of the aforementioned sealing material for rapid sealing of karst geological fissures, underground engineering water inrush, or construction cofferdams under dynamic water conditions, with a grouting pressure range of 0.2-1.0 MPa. The grouting pressure of 0.2-1.0 MPa drives the grout to penetrate deep into the fissure. In some test cases, a 98% sealing success rate was achieved in dynamic water with a flow velocity of 2.8 m / s, reducing emergency response costs.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following outstanding advantages:

[0026] This invention fundamentally solves the industry dilemma of underwater plugging materials' inability to coexist in terms of anti-dispersion, rapid setting, and early strength through multi-level synergy of sulfoaluminate cement, lithium salt accelerator, iron tailings powder, and silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The specific activation of cement hydration by lithium salts enables the material to solidify rapidly within minutes in a dynamic water environment, reducing material loss rate by over 80% under traditional processes and significantly improving emergency response efficiency. The synergistic effect of silane-modified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and iron tailings powder significantly improves the slurry's cohesiveness (flowability ≥200mm, bleeding rate ≤0.8%). The fineness of the iron tailings (100-200 mesh) and the active components (SiO2 ≥65%) result in a 1-hour strength ≥5MPa and a 24-hour strength ≥15MPa, giving the slurry excellent underwater forming stability and effectively resisting high-speed water flow erosion. The value-added application of iron tailings as industrial solid waste not only enhances density through the micro-aggregate filling effect but also significantly reduces resource consumption costs, promoting a green transformation of "using waste to treat leaks." This material exhibits strong adaptability under harsh conditions such as low temperatures in cold regions and high pressure in karst formations, and its reliable performance is ensured by high-speed mixing technology. Ultimately, its rapid sealing characteristics and cost advantages throughout its entire life cycle enable an order-of-magnitude increase in engineering maintenance benefits, achieving a dual benefit of technological breakthrough and economic and environmental protection.

[0133] Slurries were prepared according to Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 and poured into a mold (10×10×10cm).

[0134] Record the initial setting time (the surface of the slurry resists water erosion without damage).
