Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete technology, specifically to a solid waste ultralight conductive heating foam concrete and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction industry, traditional building material production is energy-intensive and generates significant carbon emissions, contradicting the "dual carbon" goals. Developing green and low-carbon building materials is not only an inevitable trend for industry transformation but also a key path to improving building energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Foamed concrete, as a lightweight insulation material, is widely used in building insulation layers and infill structures due to its advantages such as low thermal conductivity, good sound insulation, and convenient construction. Currently, foamed concrete primarily consists of inorganic non-metallic materials such as cement, desulfurized gypsum, and slag powder. These materials are inherently poor conductors of electricity, and their porous internal structure further blocks electron migration paths, resulting in overall insulating properties. With the rapid development of new building engineering fields such as intelligent buildings, road snow and ice melting, and structural health monitoring, higher demands are placed on the functionality of building materials. There is an urgent need for integrated foamed concrete materials that combine thermal insulation, lightweight high strength, and electrical conductivity to meet the needs of specific application scenarios.
[0003] Patent application CN105859233A discloses a method for preparing lightweight insulating foamed concrete using wet-process and dry-process undisturbed desulfurized gypsum as the main cementing material, combined with slag powder, a small amount of cement, and lime powder, under alkaline activation. This technology, using undisturbed desulfurized gypsum as the main cementing material, eliminates the need for calcination. Through scientific proportioning and chemical foaming processes, the material possesses advantages such as high strength, low thermal conductivity, and low shrinkage, making it suitable for building insulation structures. However, its raw materials are inherently poor conductors of electricity. Although the system contains small amounts of slag and steel slag-like components, under alkaline activation, the metal ions are highly dispersed, failing to form a continuous conductive path, and the porous structure within the material further blocks electron migration pathways. Patent application CN120328955A discloses an ultra-low density foamed concrete and its preparation method. The main components of this process are cement, steel slag, lightweight aggregates, and foaming agents, all of which are inherently poor conductors of electricity. Although steel slag was added to the formula, its metallic activity was passivated by the alkaline environment and no continuous conductive path was formed, so it still exhibited insulating properties overall.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention, based on a high solid waste content, utilizes a fly ash-desulfurized gypsum-sulfoaluminate cement composite cementitious system design, combined with a foaming process involving the construction and optimization of short-cut carbon fiber conductive networks. The aim is to develop a foamed concrete that combines ultra-lightweight properties, high solid waste utilization, and stable electrical conductivity and heating capabilities, providing a new path for the resource utilization of industrial solid waste and the development of intelligent building materials. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a solid waste ultralight conductive heating foam concrete and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The present invention solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solution: This invention provides a solid waste ultralight conductive and heating foam concrete and its preparation method, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: The content of fly ash is 650-750 parts by weight, the content of desulfurized gypsum is 450-550 parts by weight, the content of sulfoaluminate cement is 350-500 parts by weight, the content of water is 450-550 parts by weight, the content of foam stabilizer is 3-5 parts by weight, the content of water reducer is 3-6 parts by weight, the content of dispersant is 3-6 parts by weight, the content of hydrogen peroxide is 50-70 parts by weight, the content of manganese dioxide is 0.6-1.0 parts by weight, and the content of chopped carbon fiber is 4-12 parts by weight.
[0007] Preferably, the fly ash is Grade I fly ash; the water requirement ratio is 95%-97%, the loss on ignition is 1.5%-2%; the fineness is 10%-12% residue on a 45 μm square hole sieve, and the strength activity index is 75%-80%.

[0009] Preferably, the foam stabilizer is calcium stearate, which is an industrial grade 1 product and has a fineness that passes through a 200-mesh sieve.
[0010] Preferably, the dispersant is hydroxyethyl cellulose with a viscosity of 3400-5000 mPa·s and a pH of 5.5-8.5 for a 1% aqueous solution.

[0012] Preferably, the foaming catalyst is manganese dioxide with a purity of not less than 99% and a fineness that passes through a 100-mesh sieve.
[0013] Furthermore, the chopped carbon fibers are polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers with a length of 6 mm and a resistivity of no more than 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. -3 Ω·cm.
[0014] The polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber has also undergone optimization and improvement treatment. The specific improvement method is as follows: S1: Add 2-3 parts of β-cyclodextrin, 1-2 parts of silane coupling agent KH550, and 3-5 parts of modified nano-attapulgite clay agent to 4-7 parts of chitosan solution with a mass fraction of 2-4%, stir thoroughly to obtain the improved solution; S2: Polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber and modified liquid are ultrasonically modified at a weight ratio of 3:(5-7), ultrasonic power 350-400W, ultrasonic for 2 hours. After ultrasonication, filter and dry.
[0015] The preparation method of the modified nano-attapulgite clay agent is as follows: S1a: Place nano-attapulgite in a muffle furnace and calcine at 300-400℃ for 2-3 hours. After cooling, grind through a 200-mesh sieve. Add the sieved nano-attapulgite to a lanthanum-based liquid at a mass ratio of 1:(8-10), and ultrasonically disperse for 30 minutes at an ultrasonic power of 200-300W to obtain an attapulgite dispersion. S1b: Ball mill the attapulgite dispersion and ball milling agent at a weight ratio of (8-11):5 until fully milled at a speed of 1000-1500 r / min for 2 hours. After milling, filter and dry to obtain a modified nano-attapulgite agent. The lanthanum-based liquid is prepared by mixing lanthanum oxide, a sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate solution with a mass fraction of 8-12%, and citric acid at a weight ratio of (2-3):5:(1-2). The ball milling agent is a mixture of silicon carbide whiskers, carbon nanotubes and boron nitride in a weight ratio of (3-5):2:(1-3) and sintered for 1 hour at a sintering temperature of 350-400℃. After sintering, the ball milling agent is obtained.
[0016] This invention provides a solid waste ultralight conductive and heating foam concrete and its preparation method, comprising the following steps: Step (1) Put fly ash, desulfurized gypsum and cement into a mixer in sequence and mix until uniform to obtain mixed dry material A; Step (2) Place 30-degree warm water, dispersant and short-cut carbon fibers into a container in sequence, and disperse them by ultrasonication until uniform to obtain mixture B; Step (3) Slowly add mixture B to the dry mixture A and continue stirring to ensure uniform fiber dispersion to obtain conductive paste C; Step (4) Add manganese dioxide to conductive slurry C, stir briefly, then slowly add hydrogen peroxide and continue stirring until the slurry is fully foamed to obtain conductive foam slurry D; Step (5) Apply release agent evenly to the inner surface of the steel mold, then pour foam slurry D evenly into the steel mold, let it stand, demold, and place it in a standard curing room for curing. After curing, the solid waste ultra-lightweight conductive heating foam concrete as described in claims 1-8 can be obtained.
[0017] Preferably, the stirring rate in step (1) is 60-65 r / min and the stirring time is 2-3 min; the ultrasonic dispersion frequency in step (2) is 20-40 kHz and the dispersion time is 2-3 min; the stirring rate in step (3) is 80-100 r / min and the stirring time is 3-4 min; and the stirring rate after adding hydrogen peroxide in step (4) is 60-65 r / min and the stirring time is 1-2 min.
[0018] Preferably, the static curing time in step (5) is 24-36 hours; the curing conditions of the standard curing room are: temperature controlled at 20±2℃, humidity greater than or equal to 95%.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention represents an innovation in the high-value and functionalization of solid waste: while maintaining the total proportion of fly ash and desulfurized gypsum in the cementitious materials at over 70%, short-cut carbon fibers are introduced to successfully prepare a novel type of foamed concrete with conductive and heating functions. This expands its application range in building heating, road snow melting, and other fields, realizing a transformation from a single insulation material to a multifunctional intelligent material. The incorporated short-cut carbon fibers are uniformly distributed in the foamed concrete matrix, forming an effective spatial conductive network, endowing the material with significant conductivity and electrothermal conversion capabilities. When electricity is applied, the material can generate heat rapidly and uniformly.
[0020] This invention, while providing new functions, still retains a dry density of 400-500 kg / m³. 3 Its ultra-lightweight properties and mechanical properties with a 28-day compressive strength ≥1.0 MPa achieve a balance between functionalization and lightweight high strength.
[0021] This invention improves the treatment of polyacrylonitrile-based short-cut carbon fibers. An improved solution is prepared using chitosan solution, β-cyclodextrin, silane coupling agent KH550, and modified nano-attapulgite clay agent. The carbon fibers are then modified by ultrasonic treatment, effectively reducing the surface energy of the carbon fibers and minimizing electrostatic adsorption and entanglement between fibers. Simultaneously, amino active sites are introduced onto the carbon fiber surface, significantly improving the interfacial compatibility between the carbon fibers and the fly ash-desulfurized gypsum-sulfoaluminate cement composite cementitious system. Combined with the physical barrier effect of the modified nano-attapulgite clay agent, carbon fiber agglomeration in the slurry is effectively prevented, ensuring uniform dispersion of the carbon fibers in the foamed concrete matrix. This lays a solid foundation for the formation of a continuous and stable three-dimensional conductive network, thereby significantly improving the conductivity and electrothermal conversion efficiency of the foamed concrete. The resulting material possesses uniform and stable heating performance, meeting the needs of special applications such as building heating and road snow melting.
[0022] Among them, the modified nano-attapulgite agent, after modification with lanthanum-based liquid and ball milling, has optimized surface charge and adsorption properties. This not only further assists in the dispersion of carbon fibers but also forms a transitional interface layer between the carbon fibers and the cementitious matrix, reducing interface defects and enhancing the interfacial bonding force between the carbon fibers and the matrix. Simultaneously, its rod-shaped high specific surface area structure synergistically reinforces the carbon fibers, effectively constraining the early and late shrinkage of the foamed concrete, improving the dimensional stability of the material, and reducing shrinkage cracking, while ensuring the dry density of the foamed concrete remains at 400-500 kg / m³. 3 While maintaining its ultra-lightweight properties, it also ensures a 28-day compressive strength of ≥1.0 MPa, achieving a balance between ultra-lightweight, high-strength, and conductive heating functions.
[0023] Furthermore, the modified nano-attapulgite agent also possesses certain thixotropic and thickening properties, which can synergistically stabilize the pores generated by hydrogen peroxide foaming with hydroxyethyl cellulose dispersant, preventing pore coalescence and collapse, ensuring a uniform pore structure in the foamed concrete, and balancing ultra-lightweight properties with good thermal insulation performance. Simultaneously, the doping modification of lanthanum oxide in the lanthanum-based liquid can inhibit the migration of harmful ions within the cementing system, reducing the risk of hydration product degradation. Combined with the synergistic effect of silicon carbide whiskers, carbon nanotubes, and boron nitride in the ball milling agent, the continuity of the conductive network is further optimized, improving the material's durability and extending its service life in long-term service scenarios such as structural health monitoring and road snow melting. Based on achieving a total proportion of fly ash and desulfurized gypsum exceeding 70% and promoting the high-value utilization of industrial solid waste, this invention, through the synergistic effect of the above-mentioned modified system, successfully upgrades foamed concrete from a single thermal insulation material into a multifunctional intelligent material with ultra-lightweight, high strength, stable electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and good durability. This expands the application scope of foamed concrete and provides a new path for the resource utilization of industrial solid waste and the development of intelligent building materials.
