Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cement additives technology, and in particular to a composite admixture that inhibits the ineffective adsorption of water-reducing agents by calcined clay, as well as its usage and application. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by the "dual carbon" strategy, calcined clay is increasingly used as an auxiliary cementitious material in concrete, which can reduce cement usage and carbon emissions. However, the layered silicate minerals (such as montmorillonite) remaining in calcined clay have extremely strong adsorption properties, which can cause strong ineffective adsorption of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) molecules. This prevents the superplasticizer from fully exerting its dispersing effect, seriously deteriorating the workability of concrete. To ensure the construction performance of concrete, it is necessary to significantly increase the amount of superplasticizer, resulting in a surge in costs.
[0003] The existing solutions to this problem mainly fall into three categories: One approach is simply to increase the amount of PCE used, but this method is not only costly but also has limited effectiveness. Secondly, common small molecule sacrificial agents (such as sodium sulfate and triethanolamine) are compounded, but these sacrificial agents do not last long and are difficult to meet the continuous adsorption requirements of calcined clay. Third, new types of PCE can be synthesized (such as by adjusting the side chain density or by modifying with quaternary ammonium salts). However, the synthesis process of quaternary ammonium salt modified PCE is complex and its stability is poor in the high alkalinity environment of cement systems. The scheme of adjusting the side chain density is essentially a passive defense and is not effective in the face of strongly adsorbent calcined clay.
[0004] Therefore, developing solutions that can strongly block adsorption sites without significantly increasing costs and are easy to industrialize has become an urgent need for the industry.
[0005] Furthermore, while existing solutions have reported the use of cationic polymers (such as poly(N,N-dimethylallylamine)) or quaternary ammonium salts to modify PCE to address clay adsorption, these solutions have significant limitations: 1) the effect of small-molecule cationic sacrificial agents is not long-lasting; 2) when poly(N,N-dimethylallylamine) is used alone, its adsorption strength and coverage efficiency for clay are still insufficient to completely protect the PCE; 3) the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salt-modified PCE is complex and may be unstable in highly alkaline environments. In particular, for calcined clay added as a major cementing component, its total adsorption amount and persistence are far higher than that of clay occasionally mixed in the aggregate, leading to a rapid decline in the effectiveness of existing anti-mud technology.
[0006] Therefore, developing a novel admixture scheme with strong adsorption, long-lasting effect, and good compatibility with cement systems to inhibit the ineffective adsorption of water-reducing agents by calcined clay is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This application addresses the aforementioned technical challenges by providing a composite admixture solution based on a "dual synergistic mechanism".
[0008] This application provides a composite admixture that inhibits the ineffective adsorption of water-reducing agents by calcined clay: The composite admixture includes component A and component B; wherein, component A is a dicationic sacrificial agent, which is prepared by reacting poly(N,N-dimethylallylamine) with tetramethylolphosphine sulfate in an aqueous solution at 60-80°C; component B is a polycarboxylate superplasticizer, which is prepared by free radical copolymerization of a monomer mixture in an aqueous solution; wherein, the monomer mixture includes unsaturated polyether macromonomers, unsaturated carboxylate monomers, and unsaturated monomers containing phosphate groups.
[0009] Its core design philosophy is: 1. First-level synergy: Innovatively employing a dual-cationic synergistic sacrificial agent (component A) prepared by reacting poly(N,N-dimethylallylamine) with tetramethylolphosphine sulfate. Poly(N,N-dimethylallylamine) provides a long-chain cationic backbone and high charge density, while THPS acts as a crosslinking agent and phosphoric acid source. The reaction product not only possesses stronger positive charge, but the quaternary ammonium salt groups and phosphate groups on its molecular chain can generate a dual-cationic synergistic adsorption effect, binding more firmly and densely to the negatively charged sites on the calcined clay surface. The resulting organic protective film is more stable and can more persistently shield the adsorption sites between clay layers and on the surface.
[0010] 2. Second Synergistic Effect: An anti-adsorption PCE (component B) with a gradient distribution of phosphate groups was designed. Through a synthesis process of "concentrated dropwise addition" of phosphorus-containing monomers in the early stages, the front end of the polymer molecular chain (i.e., the first polymerized segment) is enriched with a high density of phosphate groups. Phosphate groups have a stronger chelating ability for calcium ions on the surface of cement particles than carboxyl groups. During use, because component A has pre-"blocked" most of the clay adsorption sites, component B molecules can more quickly and firmly adsorb onto the surface of cement particles using the high-density phosphate groups at the front end of its chain segments as an "anchor," while its rear polyether side chains can rapidly extend to exert steric hindrance. This structure of "strong anchoring at the front end and rapid extension at the rear end" adapts to the competitive adsorption environment in the presence of sacrificial agents.
[0011] 3. System Synergy: The "A first, B later" approach is key to achieving the aforementioned dual synergy. Component A, added beforehand, has ample time to occupy the clay surface. Component B, added subsequently, exhibits high selectivity and a fast adsorption rate on the cement surface amidst competition for adsorption at limited clay sites not covered by A and on the cement particle surface. This efficiently "guides" the water-reducing agent to its intended location, maximizing the utilization of the water-reducing agent dosage.
[0012] In some embodiments, the composite admixture consists of component A and component B; component A is a dicationic sacrificial agent, which is prepared by reacting poly(N,N-dimethylallylamine) with tetramethylolphosphine sulfate in an aqueous solution at 60-80°C and then cooling; wherein the dry basis mass ratio of poly(N,N-dimethylallylamine) to tetramethylolphosphine sulfate is 1:0.20 to 1:0.35.
[0013] In some embodiments, the preparation process of component A includes the following steps: Base material preparation: Poly(N,N-dimethylallylamine) is mixed with deionized water, heated to 40–50°C and stirred to dissolve, and the pH of the system is adjusted to 7.5–8.5; Dropping solution preparation: Tetramethylolphosphine sulfate is mixed with deionized water; Reaction: The dropping solution is added dropwise to the base material over a period of 1.5–2 hours, and after the addition is complete, the mixture is reacted at 60–80°C for 1.5–2 hours to obtain the final product.
[0014] In some embodiments, component B is prepared by aqueous free radical copolymerization of unsaturated polyether macromonomers, unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers, and unsaturated monomers containing phosphate groups at a reaction temperature of 15–40°C under the action of an initiator, a reducing agent, and a chain transfer agent.
[0015] In some embodiments, component B is a polycarboxylate superplasticizer, whose polymer molecules contain structural units derived from unsaturated polyether macromonomers, unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers, and phosphate-containing unsaturated monomers.
[0016] In some embodiments, the unsaturated polyether macromonomer is a combination of at least two of isopentenyl polyoxyethylene ether, methyl allyl polyoxyethylene ether, and ethylene glycol monovinyl polyethylene glycol ether, with a molecular weight of 1200 to 6000; the unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer is at least one of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate; and the phosphate-containing unsaturated monomer is one or more of methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate and vinylphosphonic acid.
[0017] In some embodiments, the phosphate-containing unsaturated monomer accounts for 15% to 35% of the total mass of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and the phosphate-containing unsaturated monomer.
[0018] In some embodiments, the preparation process of component B includes the following steps: Base material preparation: Mix unsaturated polyether macromonomers with deionized water; Preparation of the first drop: Mix the unsaturated monomer containing phosphate groups with deionized water; Preparation of the second drop: Mix the unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer with deionized water; Preparation of the third drop: Dissolve the initiator, reducing agent, and chain transfer agent in deionized water; Copolymerization reaction: The first, second and third drops of the solution are added simultaneously at 15-40℃. After the addition is complete, the mixture is kept at this temperature for 0.5-1 hour to mature. After cooling, the pH is adjusted to 5-7.0 to obtain the final product. In this process, more than 80% of the total amount of the unsaturated monomer containing phosphate groups is added during the first third of the total dropping time; the total dropping time is 1.5 to 3 hours.
[0019] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the unsaturated polyether macromonomer to the unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer is 200:(10-20). This application also provides a method for using a composite admixture to inhibit the ineffective adsorption of water-reducing agents by calcined clay: during concrete mixing, component A of the composite admixture described above is pre-mixed with mixing water and cementitious materials for 30-60 seconds, and then component B is added and mixing continues until homogeneous; wherein the solid dosage of component A is 0.05%-0.2% of the total mass of cementitious materials, and the solid dosage of component B is 0.1%-0.25% of the total mass of cementitious materials.
[0020] This application also provides the application of the composite admixture as described in any of the preceding claims in green concrete.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: This application utilizes the synergistic effect of component A (dual-cationic sacrificial agent) and component B (specifically structured water-reducing agent) to strongly block the ineffective adsorption of water-reducing agent by calcined clay, thereby reducing the amount of water-reducing agent required and significantly improving the initial fluidity and slump retention of concrete. In addition, the preparation process of the composite admixture components of this application is mature and the raw materials are readily available, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production and applicable to green concrete.

[0060] Performance application tests of the products in the examples and comparative examples: I. Product Application Performance Testing in Examples and Comparative Examples Raw material specifications: Cement: P·O42.5; Calcined clay: Metakaolin (calcined at 800℃); Aggregate: Manufactured sand (fineness modulus 2.8), 5-20mm continuously graded crushed stone.
[0061] Calcined clay was used, and its effects on concrete, as specified in GB8076-2008 "Concrete Admixtures," were tested according to the methods outlined in the examples and comparative proportions. The concrete mix proportion was: cement 280 kg / m³. 3 120 kg of calcined clay and 750 kg / m³ of sand 3 Stone 1050kg / m 3 160kg / m³ of water 3 The results are shown in Table 2.
[0062] Table 2. Concrete performance test results
[0063] In Table 2, the "-" indicates that the loss is too great and there is no expansion.
[0064] The test results show that: Compared to the embodiments, the comparative examples have the following shortcomings: Comparative Example 1: Commercially available polyquaternary ammonium salt sacrificial agent was used, but its adsorption strength and persistence were insufficient, with a spread of only 420 mm in 1 hour; Comparative Example 2: Without using a sacrificial agent, simply increasing the amount of water-reducing agent to 0.30% still could not effectively improve initial dispersibility and dispersion retention; Comparative Example 3: Using the sacrificial agent of this invention and commercially available quaternary ammonium salt modified anti-sludge, the spread of the anti-sludge decreased significantly after 1 hour; Comparative Example 4: Using only phosphate-modified anti-mud PCE, the anti-mud effect is generally poor. Comparative Example 5: When component B-3 was added using a uniform dropwise process, the phosphate groups failed to form an effective gradient protective layer, thus failing to effectively improve the initial dispersibility and dispersion retention. Comparative Example 6: Using sample B-4 (single polyether structure), although it was compounded with component A, the distribution of phosphate groups did not match the adsorption kinetics, and the expansion rate after 1 hour was still low.
[0065] Comparative Example 7: Using commercially available polyquaternium sacrificial agent and commercially available ordinary PCE, the dispersibility was average and the dispersion retention was poor.

[0067] The fixed amount of cement is 240g, the amount of clay is 60g, and the amount of water is 87g. The amount of sacrificial agent and water-reducing agent refers to the dry basis mass of the total amount of cement and clay. The sacrificial agent is added by mixing it with cement and clay for 30 seconds first, and then adding water and water-reducing agent.

[0071] In summary, the combination in Example 2 exhibits the best performance and adaptability across different types of calcined clay.
[0072] This application should include at least the following design concept, mechanism of action, and beneficial effects: Significant synergistic inhibition effect: Component A, through the synergistic effect of two cations, strongly and persistently occupies the adsorption sites of calcined clay; Component B utilizes the phosphate groups with a gradient distribution on its molecular chain to achieve "self-preferential adsorption". The two work synergistically from different pathways, completely solving the problem of ineffective adsorption of water-reducing agents by calcined clay. Compared with existing technologies, the anti-adsorption effect is more stable and longer-lasting. Significantly reduces the amount of water-reducing agent used: The composite admixture of this application can give full play to the dispersing effect of the water-reducing agent, and reduce the amount of PCE used while ensuring the workability of concrete, thus significantly reducing the production cost of concrete. Improved concrete workability: It not only gives concrete excellent initial fluidity, but also effectively improves slump retention, avoiding the problem of excessive slump loss during construction and ensuring smooth construction. Mature technology and easy to industrialize: Both components of the composite additive are prepared using a mature aqueous phase synthesis process. The raw materials are readily available and the cost is controllable. The reaction conditions are mild and no special equipment is required, enabling stable and large-scale production. Good compatibility: It has good compatibility with cement systems and will not have a negative impact on the setting, hardening and mechanical properties of concrete, making it widely applicable.
