Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, specifically to an alkali-activated gelling composition and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Alkali-activated cementitious materials are a new type of low-carbon cementitious material composed of two components: an alkali activator and a cementitious precursor. They have excellent mechanical properties and durability. However, the setting time of alkali-activated cementitious materials is usually too short to meet the needs of actual construction. Therefore, it is necessary to add a retarder to adjust the setting time of alkali-activated cementitious material products.

[0003] Retarder is an additive that reduces the hydration reaction rate and heat of hydration of cementitious materials such as cement, thereby prolonging the setting time. Although there is a wide variety of retarders available and related research is relatively in-depth, most studies focus on silicate cement-based products. There are fewer products specifically designed for alkali-activated cementitious materials. In research on retarders that can be used in alkali-activated cementitious material systems, the main components include borax or other boron-containing inorganic substances, phosphates, sodium gluconate, zinc salts, barium salts, etc. For example, CN113087431A discloses a retarder for alkali-activated cementitious materials, using sulfates and sulfoaluminates as retarders in slag-fly ash systems to replace part of the slag-fly ash, effectively prolonging the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials. CN115321857A discloses a retarder for alkali-activated cementitious materials, using borax as a retarder in slag-fly ash systems, effectively prolonging the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials.

[0004] Existing retarders, while extending the setting time of cementitious materials, often lead to reduced strength and increased brittleness, which is detrimental to the long-term strength development of materials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more new retarders that can effectively extend the setting time of alkali-activated cementitious materials and their products without significantly affecting their compressive strength.

[0094] Experimental conclusion:

[0095] As can be seen from Tables 1, 2 and 3 above, compared with Control Example 1, Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4, in the low-dosage (8%) sodium hydroxide activator system, using different silanes (different siloxy groups) as retarder, can effectively prolong the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials, and have no significant effect on the 3-day compressive strength of the materials.

[0096] Compared with Control Example 2, Examples 5, 6, and 7, in the high-dosage (12%) sodium hydroxide activator system, all effectively extended the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials by using different silanes (different siloxy groups).

[0097] Compared with Control Example 3, Examples 8, 9, and 10, in the water glass activator system, all showed that the use of different silanes (different siloxy groups) could effectively prolong the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials.

[0098] Compared with Control Example 4, Examples 11, 12, and 13, using water glass as an activator and metakaolin-mineral powder composite precursor, all effectively extended the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials by using different silanes (different siloxy groups).

[0099] Compared with Comparative Examples 1, 5, and 6, the results of Examples 1, 14, and 15 show that using methoxytrimethylsilane as a retarder can effectively prolong the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials at different temperatures (10°C, 25°C, and 35°C).

[0100] Compared with Control Example 1, the results of Examples 1, 16, and 17 show that trimethoxymethylsilane, as a retarder, can effectively prolong the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials at different dosages (3%, 5%, and 8%).

[0101] Compared with Control Examples 1, 7, 8, and 9, the results of Examples 1, 18, 19, and 20 show that using methoxytrimethylsilane or dimethoxydimethylsilane as a retarder can effectively prolong the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials in different precursor systems (mineral powder, mineral powder + fly ash, mineral powder + steel slag + fly ash, mineral powder + silicate cement + fly ash, etc.). Compared with Control Examples 1 and 7 and Examples 1 and 18, using methoxytrimethylsilane as a retarder has no significant effect on the 3-day compressive strength of the material in different precursor systems (mineral powder, mineral powder + fly ash).

[0102] Compared with Comparative Examples 1, 10, and 11, the results of Examples 1, 21, and 22 show that using methoxytrimethylsilane as a retarder can effectively prolong the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials in different activator systems (sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, calcium hydroxide, etc.).

[0103] Compared with Control Example 1, the results of Examples 1, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30 demonstrate that silanes containing ether groups, carbon-carbon double bonds, mercapto groups, amino groups, phenyl groups, thiocyanate groups, ester groups, and -NC=O groups can also effectively prolong the initial and final setting times of alkali-activated cementitious materials. Compared with Control Example 1 and Examples 23 and 26, silanes containing ether groups and amino groups have no significant effect on the 3-day compressive strength of the material.

[0104] Compared with the tetramethylsilane retarder used in Comparative Example 12, the silane retarder used in this invention has a better retarding effect, for example in Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.

[0105] Compared with the use of borax as a retarder in Comparative Example 13, the silane retarder used in this invention has the same retarding effect and has no significant effect on the 3-day compressive strength of the material, which is superior to the compressive strength of borax as a retarder.

[0106] Compared with Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1, 2 and 3, in the low-dosage (4%) sodium hydroxide activator system, the use of different silanes (different siloxy groups) had no significant effect on the 3-day compressive strength of the material.

[0107] The technical solutions of the present invention are not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any technical modifications made in accordance with the technical solutions of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
