Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid waste resource utilization technology, specifically to a concrete with coal gangue as the main aggregate and industrial solid waste as the cementing component, and its preparation method, particularly to a coal gangue-based graded concrete and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Coal gangue is a major solid waste generated during coal mining and washing. Its long-term storage not only occupies large amounts of land but also causes environmental pollution and ecological damage. Using coal gangue as aggregate in concrete is an important way to achieve its large-scale, high-value-added resource utilization. However, coal gangue aggregate has a loose and porous surface, high water absorption, and weak interfacial adhesion with cement paste. Direct use can easily lead to problems such as low concrete strength, poor durability, and poor volume stability, limiting its large-scale application.

[0003] Meanwhile, slag from the steel industry and calcium carbide slag from the chemical industry also face enormous storage pressure. These industrial solid wastes have certain potential cementitious activity, but the activity is low or the composition fluctuates greatly, making them ineffective when used alone. How to synergistically utilize coal gangue aggregate with industrial solid wastes such as slag and calcium carbide slag to prepare high-performance concrete is of great significance for promoting the green and sustainable development of the building materials industry.

[0004] While existing technologies include research on using coal gangue as concrete aggregate, such as Chinese patent documents "A method for preparing and applying ecological concrete based on waste coal gangue (Publication No.: CN108609986A)" and "A multi-component solid waste admixture for improving the strength of cement concrete and its preparation method (Publication No.: CN118637851A)," most of these studies have not systematically addressed the issues of weak interfacial bonding and gradation optimization, and have also given little consideration to the synergistic cementitious effect with low-activity solid wastes such as slag and carbide slag. Therefore, developing a concrete preparation method that can significantly improve the interfacial properties of coal gangue aggregate, optimize particle size distribution, and efficiently utilize various industrial solid wastes has become a pressing technical problem in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a coal gangue-based graded ecological concrete and its preparation method. This method involves grading coal gangue aggregate and innovatively introducing slag powder and carbide slag into the cementitious system. Through a specific segmented mixing process, concrete with excellent mechanical properties, good durability, volume stability, and good workability is prepared, achieving efficient synergistic utilization of various solid wastes such as coal gangue, slag, and carbide slag.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, this application provides a coal gangue-based graded ecological concrete, comprising the following components by weight: 20-30 parts silicate cement, 10-15 parts calcium carbide slag, 10-15 parts slag powder, 10-15 parts coal gangue fine powder, 15-25 parts coal gangue medium aggregate, 15-25 parts coal gangue coarse aggregate, 1-3 parts activator, 0.6-1.0 parts allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent, and 20-25 parts deionized water; The allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent is prepared by the following steps: Add isopentenyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether and sodium vinyl sulfonate to a four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, gas delivery tube, two constant-pressure dropping funnels, and a reflux condenser. Purge with nitrogen for protection, then add deionized water equal to 70% of the total water volume. Stir for 20-25 minutes at 80-82℃ and a stirring rate of 200-250 rpm. Then add ammonium persulfate to 15% of the total water volume of the deionized water and stir with a glass rod for 3-5 minutes. Pour the mixture into the first constant-pressure dropping funnel. Next, add acrylic acid and acrylic acid... Hydroxyethyl ester was added to 15% of the total water volume of deionized water and stirred with a glass rod for 3-5 minutes. The mixture was then poured into a second constant-pressure dropping funnel. The stopcocks of both constant-pressure dropping funnels were opened simultaneously, and the solution was added dropwise to the four-necked flask at a constant rate. The total dropping time was controlled to be 3.0-3.5 hours. During the dropping process, the temperature was maintained at 80-82°C. After the dropping was completed, the reaction conditions were kept unchanged, and the mixture was stirred and kept at the same temperature for 1.0-1.5 hours. The mixture was then allowed to cool naturally to room temperature and transferred to a dry and sealed plastic sample bottle to obtain an allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of isopentenyl polyoxyethylene ether, sodium vinyl sulfonate, deionized water, ammonium persulfate, acrylic acid, and hydroxyethyl acrylate is 40-50g: 0.8-1.0g: 120-150mL: 0.54-0.68g: 3.2-4.0g: 0.5-0.63g.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the isopentenyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is of type TPEG-2400 and is produced by Jingzhou Yinjie Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0009] The coal gangue fine powder, coal gangue medium aggregate, and coal gangue coarse aggregate are prepared by the following steps: Step a1: Clean the mud and impurities adhering to the surface of the coal gangue, then place it in a constant temperature drying oven and dry it at a temperature of 60℃ for 2-4 hours. After drying, take it out and cool it to room temperature to obtain pretreated coal gangue. Step a2: The pretreated coal gangue is fed into the crushing equipment for graded crushing. After crushing, it is screened through a multi-stage standard sieve to obtain coarse coal gangue aggregate with a particle size of 10-20mm and medium coal gangue aggregate with a particle size of 2.36-4.75mm. Then, the coal gangue particles smaller than 2.36mm after screening are fed into the grinding equipment for fine grinding. After grinding, they are passed through a 0.075mm standard sieve, and the undersize material is collected to obtain fine coal gangue powder.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the coal gangue is industrial-grade blocky coal gangue, provided by Yumei Bulk (Shanxi) Technology Co., Ltd.

[0011] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing coal gangue-based graded ecological concrete, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Weigh out 20-30 parts by weight of silicate cement, 10-15 parts of calcium carbide slag, 10-15 parts of slag powder, 10-15 parts of coal gangue fine powder, 15-25 parts of coal gangue medium aggregate, 15-25 parts of coal gangue coarse aggregate, 1-3 parts of activator, 0.6-1.0 parts of allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent, and 20-25 parts of deionized water, and set aside. Step 2: Add the fine coal gangue powder to the mixer and add deionized water accounting for 40% of the total water volume. Mix for 30-60 seconds at a mixing speed of 30-45 r / min to obtain a slurry. Step 3: Add silicate cement, carbide slag, slag powder, activator, allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent and remaining deionized water to the slurry, and stir for 60-120 seconds at a stirring rate of 30-45 r / min to obtain cementitious mortar. Step 4: Add coal gangue aggregate to the cementitious mortar and stir for 30-50 seconds at a stirring speed of 30-45 r / min. Then add coal gangue coarse aggregate and continue stirring for 60-100 seconds to obtain concrete mixture. Step 5: Pour the concrete mixture into a standard test mold, vibrate to compact it, and cure it according to national standards at a temperature of 20℃ and a relative humidity of ≥95% until the specified age is reached to obtain coal gangue-based graded ecological concrete.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific surface area of ​​the slag powder in step one is not less than 400 m². 2 / kg, the specific surface area of ​​carbide slag is not less than 350m² 2 / kg; the activator is a solid mixture of sodium hydroxide and calcium oxide in a dosage ratio of 1g:1g; the silicate cement is industrial-grade powdered silicate cement provided by Guangzhou Yaowei Building Materials Co., Ltd.; the carbide slag is industrial-grade powdered carbide slag provided by Zhengzhou Jinke Powder Materials Co., Ltd.; the slag powder is industrial-grade powdered slag powder provided by Fengfeng Mineral Products Processing Plant in Lingshou County, Hebei Province.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention discloses a coal gangue-based graded ecological concrete and its preparation method. The coal gangue-based graded ecological concrete prepared using a segmented feeding and controlled-speed mixing process involves pre-mixing fine coal gangue powder into a slurry, followed by the sequential addition of cementitious materials and medium and coarse aggregates. This allows the cementitious mortar to fully coat and fill the gaps between aggregates at each level, optimizing the interfacial bonding between aggregates and the cementitious system. This significantly improves the internal density of the concrete, giving it excellent mechanical properties, volume stability, and comprehensive durability such as impermeability and carbonation resistance. It also allows the activator to fully function, and the micro-powder effect of the fine coal gangue powder activates the potential activity of the silicate cement-carbide slag-slag micro-powder composite cementitious system, ensuring rapid and stable strength development of the concrete. Simultaneously, this process achieves high-value utilization of coal gangue of all particle sizes in a large-scale, waste-free manner, effectively disposing of solid waste and reducing stockpiling pollution. Furthermore, the process is highly operable and easily industrialized.

[0014] In the preparation of coal gangue-based graded ecological concrete, an allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent was prepared. This allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent is a polycarboxylic acid-based high-efficiency water-reducing agent, prepared by free radical aqueous solution polymerization mechanism. Isopentenyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is used as the macromonomer, providing a long side chain structure, which is the main skeleton of the allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent. Acrylic acid provides carboxyl groups, providing adsorption groups, which can be adsorbed on the surface of cementitious material particles such as cement, slag, and coal gangue. Hydroxyethyl acrylate provides hydroxyl and ester groups, used to adjust the polymer's hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity balance, steric hindrance, and dispersion retention performance, improving the workability and slump retention of concrete. Sodium vinyl sulfonate provides sulfonic acid groups, enhancing the adsorption capacity and dispersion speed on the surface of cementitious material particles, improving the initial water-reducing effect. Ammonium persulfate is a thermally decomposable initiator, decomposing to generate free radicals, initiating the above unsaturated monomers to undergo a free radical copolymerization reaction, forming a comb-shaped polycarboxylic acid copolymer. Under nitrogen atmosphere, heating, and stirring conditions, isopentenyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, Sodium vinyl sulfonate, acrylic acid, and hydroxyethyl acrylate undergo free radical addition polymerization initiated by ammonium persulfate to generate a comb-shaped polycarboxylic acid allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent with a main chain containing carboxyl, sulfonic acid, and hydroxyl groups and long polyoxyethylene side chains. This allyl polyether high-efficiency water-reducing agent has a high water reduction rate, and its comb-shaped structure provides a strong steric hindrance effect, significantly dispersing cementitious material particles, reducing concrete water consumption, and improving system density and mechanical strength. It has excellent compatibility with industrial solid waste components such as coal gangue fine powder, slag powder, and carbide slag, and can effectively improve the problems of viscosity and uneven coating that easily occur in concrete under high solid waste content conditions. The hydroxyl and sulfonic acid groups introduced by hydroxyethyl acrylate and sodium vinyl sulfonate can play a synergistic role, enabling concrete to maintain excellent workability and slump retention for a longer period of time, meeting the needs of on-site construction. At the same time, the uniformly dispersed cementitious system can reduce internal defects and promote the dense development of hydration products, further improving the strength and long-term service performance of coal gangue-based concrete.

[0015] In the preparation of coal gangue-based graded ecological concrete, fine coal gangue powder, medium coal gangue aggregate, and coarse coal gangue aggregate were prepared. The medium and coarse aggregates were obtained by crushing and screening the coal gangue. The remaining portion was further ground in a mixer and then sieved to obtain fine coal gangue powder. The fine coal gangue powder, medium aggregate, and coarse aggregate form a continuous graded skeleton-filler system. The coarse aggregate serves as the core load-bearing skeleton, the medium aggregate fills the gaps between the coarse aggregate, and the fine powder fills the micropores and acts as a cementitious admixture, co-hydrating with cement, carbide slag, etc., thus optimizing the interface between the aggregate and the cementitious mortar. The surface bonding significantly improves the density of concrete, resulting in increased compressive strength, reduced drying shrinkage, and enhanced volume stability. The continuous gradation eliminates large interconnected pores within the concrete, fundamentally improving its impermeability, carbonation resistance, and freeze-thaw resistance. Furthermore, the hydration products of fine powder further fill the pores, continuously optimizing durability and meeting the long-term use requirements of building projects. This design not only solves the performance defects of using coal gangue as a single aggregate but also achieves high-value utilization of coal gangue across all particle sizes. At the same time, it endows the system with significant advantages from multiple dimensions, including concrete structure, mechanical properties, durability, and environmental benefits.
