Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic materials technology, and in particular to a high-strength self-cleaning waste-based clay, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The construction and ceramics industries are pillar industries of the national economy that generate enormous amounts of solid waste. With the continuous advancement of urbanization, the expansion of building renovation and demolition, and the expansion of ceramic industry capacity, hundreds of millions of tons of waste materials are generated annually, including brick and tile construction waste, concrete waste, ceramic production sludge, and ceramic glaze waste. These solid wastes generally suffer from problems such as occupying land for storage, generating dust and leachate pollution, low resource utilization rates, and high disposal costs, becoming a prominent bottleneck restricting the green and low-carbon development of these industries.
[0003] Using construction solid waste and ceramic solid waste to prepare clay materials is an important way to reduce, recycle, and increase the value of bulk solid waste. It can reduce dependence on non-renewable mineral resources such as natural clay and kaolin, and significantly reduce the cost of ceramic raw materials, thus achieving both environmental and economic benefits.
[0004] Currently, existing technologies have disclosed various methods for preparing clay or ceramic bodies from waste materials. Most of these methods involve simple crushing, mixing, ball milling, molding, and firing of construction waste, ceramic sludge, and waste glaze to achieve preliminary utilization of solid waste. However, in practical applications, existing technologies generally suffer from the following insurmountable technical defects: crude raw material compatibility and insufficient performance control; lack of functional design, resulting in low product added value; high firing temperature and energy consumption, leading to poor production economics; rough process control, resulting in low product consistency and yield; and low comprehensive utilization rate of solid waste, failing to fully realize environmental advantages. In summary, existing waste-based clay technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of strength performance, functional characteristics, energy consumption control, process stability, and solid waste utilization rate, and cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of modern ceramic raw materials that are "high-strength, low-consumption, green, multifunctional, and industrially scalable."

A composite self-cleaning reinforcing agent composed of talc, bentonite, and wollastonite provides synergistic reinforcement and self-cleaning, enhancing the green body's strength while endowing the material with adsorption and self-cleaning functions. The components of the entire system complement and promote each other, ultimately resulting in waste-based ceramic clay with high strength, high density, high thermal stability, and self-cleaning function.
[0022] This invention also provides a method for preparing high-strength self-cleaning waste-based clay, the method comprising the following steps: 1) Weigh the above-mentioned parts by weight of raw materials, and sequentially premix and ball mill them to obtain a slurry; 2) The slurry is sequentially screened to remove iron, pressed, vacuum-kneaded, and aged in stages to obtain refined mud. 3) The refined clay is dried and fired in stages to obtain high-strength self-purifying waste-based clay.

[0026] In this invention, in step 2), the iron removal by sieving is preferably carried out by passing the iron through a three-stage vibrating screen of 120 mesh, 200 mesh and 250 mesh in sequence, and magnetic separation is performed after each stage of sieving.
[0027] In this invention, in step 2), the aging process preferably includes high-temperature aging and room-temperature aging. The temperature for high-temperature aging is preferably 30-35°C, more preferably 31-34°C, and even more preferably 32-33°C. The aging time for high-temperature aging is preferably 24-48 hours, more preferably 28-42 hours, and even more preferably 30-36 hours. The temperature for room-temperature aging is preferably 20-30°C, more preferably 22-28°C, and even more preferably 24-26°C. The aging time for room-temperature aging is preferably 48-72 hours, more preferably 54-68 hours, and even more preferably 58-64 hours.
[0028] In this invention, step 2) employs a segmented aging process that combines high-temperature aging with room-temperature aging to eliminate internal stress in the clay and improve plasticity and molding stability.
[0029] In this invention, in step 3), the moisture content of the dried product is preferably ≤2%, more preferably ≤1.8%, and even more preferably ≤1.5%. The drying temperature is preferably 100~150℃, more preferably 110~140℃, and even more preferably 120~130℃.
[0030] In this invention, in step 3), the stepped firing process preferably passes through a preheating section, an oxidation decomposition section, and a sintering section sequentially.

The heating rate from the temperature of the oxidation decomposition section to the temperature of the sintering section is preferably 1.5~2.5℃ / min, more preferably 1.6~2.4℃ / min, and even more preferably 1.8~2.2℃ / min.
[0031] The stepped firing process employed in this invention precisely matches the thermal reaction characteristics of the composite reinforcing agent. In the oxidation decomposition stage, impurities are dissolved to achieve self-purification. In the sintering stage, the temperature is slowly increased to promote the growth of acicular anorthite, achieving in-situ reinforcement. Finally, densification is completed by short-term heat preservation at 1130~1150℃. This solves the problems of easy cracking, low strength, and poor appearance of waste-based clay, and achieves a comprehensive effect of high flexural strength of up to 52.8MPa, no black spots, yield of ≥91%, and energy saving and consumption reduction.

The slurry was passed through three vibrating screens of 120 mesh, 200 mesh and 250 mesh in sequence. After each screen, magnetic separation was performed to remove iron. The slurry was then pressed until the moisture content of the slurry cake was 24%. After vacuum slurrying, it was aged in stages (first aged at 35℃ for 40 hours and then aged at 28℃ for 68 hours) to obtain refined slurry. The refined clay was dried at 150℃ to a moisture content of 1%. The dried product was then heated from room temperature to 300℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, then heated to 950℃ at a rate of 3.8℃ / min and held for 15 min, then heated to 1150℃ at a rate of 3.5℃ / min and held for 40 min.

[0042] Comparative Example 2
[0043] The composite self-cleaning enhancer in Example 1 is omitted, and the other steps are the same as in Example 1.
[0044] Comparative Example 3
[0045] Replace the stepped firing process in Example 1 with "directly heating to 1140℃ and holding for 32 minutes", and the other steps are the same as in Example 1.
[0046] The following performance tests were conducted on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3, and the results are shown in Table 1: Flexural strength: determined according to national standard GB / T 3810.4-2016 "Test methods for ceramic tiles - Part 4: Modulus of rupture and breaking strength"; Water absorption rate: determined according to the national standard GB / T 3810.3-2016 "Test methods for ceramic tiles - Part 3: Water absorption rate, apparent porosity, apparent relative density and bulk density"; Thermal stability: The sample was rapidly cooled in ice water from 180℃ to 20℃ for 3 cycles and observed for cracking.

Compared with Comparative Example 2, which does not contain composite self-cleaning reinforcing agent, the reinforcing agent used in this invention can significantly improve the strength, density and self-cleaning performance of the green body, demonstrating a good synergistic effect. Compared with Comparative Example 3, which uses conventional one-step firing, stepped firing can effectively reduce defects, improve density and yield, indicating that the segmented temperature control process is crucial for improving the quality of waste-based clay.
[0049] In summary, this invention fundamentally solves the technical problems of traditional waste-based ceramics, such as low strength, easy cracking, poor appearance, lack of functionality, high energy consumption, and low yield, through formula synergy, particle size control, segmented aging, and stepped firing. It has outstanding advantages of high strength, self-purification, low energy consumption, and high yield, and can meet the industrial production needs of daily-use ceramics, building ceramics, and art ceramics.
