Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial solid waste-based cementitious materials and heavy metal pollution control technology, specifically involving a multi-source solid waste heavy metal cementitious material with multi-mechanism synergistic solidification characteristics and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the alumina industry, the discharge of red mud, a major industrial solid waste generated during its production process, is increasing year by year. Red mud is characterized by its strong alkalinity, high water content, and rich content of various heavy metals. Long-term stockpiling not only occupies a large amount of land resources but also easily leads to the leakage of alkaline leachate and the migration of heavy metals, posing a potential threat to the surrounding soil and groundwater environment. Therefore, developing efficient and stable technologies for the resource utilization of red mud, especially its safe application in engineering materials, is of great significance for promoting the reduction, resource recovery, and harmless treatment of solid waste. Currently, red mud-based cementitious materials have become one of the important directions for the resource utilization of solid waste. By introducing a multi-component system including fly ash, slag, cement, and alkali activators, hydration products such as C-(A)-SH gel, NASH gel, and AFt can be formed under alkali activation conditions, thereby endowing the material with certain mechanical properties and physically encapsulating and chemically solidifying some heavy metals.
[0003] For example, patent CN 116903280 A discloses a clinker-free cement and a method for preparing clinker-free cement entirely from industrial solid waste. The clinker-free cement uses industrial solid waste as all raw materials, and the main components by mass percentage are: 8-20% desulfurized gypsum, 1-3% lime, 10-40% fly ash, 2-20% lithium slag, 0-20% slag, and 40-65% mineral powder. Triethanolamine, accounting for 2.0-2.5% of the total mass of raw materials, is added as a liquid grinding aid. The cement is prepared by microcomputer metering, belt conveying, and grinding to a specific surface area of 350-370 m² / kg. This invention uses industrial solid waste as raw material throughout the entire process, eliminating the need for clinker calcination, thus significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. The clinker-free slag cement and clinker-free fly ash cement produced meet the national standards for PSA32.5 and P.F32.5 grade cement, respectively. The 28-day compressive strength can reach 33~35MPa, and the stability is qualified. It features high strength, stable quality, low power consumption, and low operating costs, and can be used in construction projects such as walls and masonry, realizing the efficient resource utilization of industrial solid waste.
[0004] For example, patent CN 117819924 A discloses a nano-ultra-high performance concrete and its preparation method. The nano-ultra-high performance concrete includes the following components by weight: 150-400 parts of general silicate cement, 200-450 parts of slag powder, 100-150 parts of fly ash modified microspheres, 50-100 parts of metakaolin, 22-50 parts of composite alkali activator, 7-15 parts of nano calcium carbonate, 800-1200 parts of fine aggregate, 10-26 parts of water-reducing agent, and 40-90 parts of steel fiber, with a water-cement ratio of 0.15-0.27. The nano-ultra-high performance concrete described in this invention significantly reduces cement usage and carbon emissions through composite alkali activation and synergistic enhancement with nano-calcium carbonate. Compared with traditional ultra-high performance concrete, carbon emissions are reduced by more than 50%. It does not require high-temperature curing, the mixture has a spread of 500-750mm, a setting time of 2-6 hours, and a compressive strength of 130-200MPa after 28 days of curing at room temperature. It combines high toughness, low electrical flux, and excellent workability, and can meet both structural strength and green low-carbon requirements, making it suitable for the field of high-performance civil engineering.
[0005] For example, patent CN 121248164 A discloses a low-carbon composite cementitious material, a mortar preparation method, and its application. The low-carbon composite cementitious material comprises the following components by weight percentage: 50%–85% cement, 15%–50% Yellow River silt and sand powder, 0%–0.75% sodium hydroxide activator, and 0%–7.5% calcium hydroxide activator. This invention employs mechanical grinding and dual-alkali activation to synergistically activate the Yellow River silt and sand powder, fully stimulating its pozzolanic activity and promoting the generation of key hydration products such as C-(A)-SH, N-(A)-SH gel, and AFt. These products intertwine and fill pores, significantly improving the material's compressive and flexural strength, and imparting excellent mechanical properties. Simultaneously, the hydration products and dense structure can physically encapsulate and chemically solidify some heavy metals in the system, enhancing the material's environmental safety. This system can significantly reduce cement usage and carbon emissions. The prepared mortar is suitable for building structures, heavy masonry, and structural reinforcement and repair, providing a new low-carbon, high-value pathway for the large-scale resource utilization of Yellow River silt and sand.
[0006] However, this type of system still has the following shortcomings in engineering applications:
[0007] 1. The solidification mechanism is too simple, resulting in insufficient long-term stability of heavy metals;
[0008] Existing red mud-based cementitious materials primarily rely on gel structures formed from hydration products for the solidification of heavy metals, along with partial adsorption or simple precipitation. In the field of heavy metal solidification research, highly toxic heavy metals such as Cr and Pb exhibit strong migration capabilities, and their stability is easily affected by pH fluctuations, carbonization, and the external environment. Studies have found that solidification methods relying solely on gel encapsulation or physical adsorption are prone to structural degradation and heavy metal re-release during long-term service, making it difficult to achieve sustained and stable solidification.
[0009] 2. The synergistic effect of multi-source solid waste is insufficient, making it difficult to balance mechanical properties and environmental safety;
[0010] While existing technologies incorporate various industrial solid wastes such as red mud, fly ash, and slag to construct composite cementitious systems, the components are mostly simply superimposed, lacking an effective synergistic mechanism. In multi-source solid waste cementitious systems, the components differ in reactivity, ion release, and hydration pathways. Studies have found that without proper control, the system's reaction can easily become unbalanced or structurally unstable, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve synergistic optimization of mechanical property improvement and heavy metal solidification.
[0011] 3. The lack of a multi-mechanism coordinated regulation system means that the functional materials have not fully played their role;
[0012] Existing red mud-based cementitious material systems mostly focus on a single solidification mechanism, lacking a systematic approach that incorporates the synergistic effects of multiple mechanisms such as adsorption, ion exchange, structural embedding, and complex precipitation. Meanwhile, nanomaterials and iron-based materials show significant potential in promoting hydration reactions, optimizing microstructure, and enhancing heavy metal immobilization, but their synergistic mechanisms are either insufficiently introduced into existing systems or remain unclear. Research has revealed that the lack of multi-mechanism coupling regulation limits the stability and applicability of materials under complex environmental conditions.
[0013] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a multi-mechanism synergistic solidification system for heavy metals in multi-source solid waste. This system integrates structural solidification, adsorption-intercalation, ion exchange, and complexation precipitation to achieve efficient and stable solidification of heavy metals in red mud, thereby improving the material's overall performance and engineering applicability. By introducing multifunctional regulating components, a multi-mechanism synergistic solidification system integrating oxidation-reduction, adsorption-precipitation, and structural solidification can be constructed to achieve efficient and stable solidification of heavy metals in red mud and improve the material's overall performance and engineering applicability. Summary of the Invention
[0014] Addressing the core technical challenges of single solidification mechanisms, insufficient long-term stability, and low resource utilization rates of heavy metals in solid wastes such as red mud, this invention provides a multi-source solid waste heavy metal cementitious material with synergistic solidification mechanisms and its preparation method. This solves the problems of single solidification mechanisms, insufficient long-term stability, and difficulty in synergistically improving mechanical properties and environmental safety in existing solid waste-based cementitious materials during heavy metal solidification.

[0118] The gas flow rate is 0.1–1.0 L / min;
[0119] The reaction time is 20–120 min;
[0120] The pH of the system is controlled at 7–10 during the reaction to promote the formation of carbonate minerals and inhibit excessive acidification.
[0121] More preferably, the reaction progress can be judged by online monitoring of pH or conductivity changes during carbonization, and the aeration can be stopped when the pH tends to stabilize.
[0122] 4) The slurry after carbonization reaction is subjected to solid-liquid separation, and the resulting solid product is dried to obtain wet carbonization calcium-magnesium-based multi-element alkali slag.
[0123] Preferably, the solid-liquid separation method is filtration or centrifugation; the drying temperature is 60–105°C, and the drying time is 6–24 h.
[0124] Furthermore, the resulting wet-process calcium-magnesium-based multi-element alkali slag is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, hydrated calcium carbonate and carbonate gel phase, which can serve as carbonate crystal nuclei to participate in subsequent gelation reactions and heavy metal mineralization and fixation processes.
[0125] Examples 1-2 to 1-15
[0126] Based on Example 1-1, a multi-factor combination control method was adopted to investigate the synergistic effect among four core raw materials: wet carbonization component, nano LDO, calcined nano CSH seed crystals and nano MZT. Combination design was carried out for these materials. The types, ratios and preparation methods of the remaining raw materials were the same as those in Example 1-1. The specific ratios are shown in Table 1.
[0127] Each embodiment constructs the following typical systems through combinations of different functional components:
[0128] Single-mechanism missing system (e.g., 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5): removal of a certain nano or carbonized component;
[0129] Dual-mechanism coupling systems (such as 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, 1-10, 1-11): retain two functional components;
[0130] Single-mechanism systems (such as 1-12, 1-13, 1-14, 1-15): retain only one functional component.
[0131] The samples obtained in Examples 1-1 to 1-15 were subjected to compressive strength and heavy metal leaching tests in accordance with the "Specifications for Design of Asphalt Pavement of Highway" (JTG D50-2017) and the "Standard for Identification of Hazardous Waste" (GB 5085.3-2007). The results are shown in Table 2.
[0132] Table 2 Mechanical properties and heavy metal leaching results of different Examples 1
[0133]
[0134] As shown in Table 2, Examples 1-1 simultaneously contain four key functional components: wet carbonization components, nano-LDO, calcined nano-CSH seeds, and nano-MZT. These components work together to construct a complete multi-mechanism synergistic curing system. Its 28-day compressive strength reaches 26.8 MPa, and the Pb and Cr leaching concentrations are 0.12 mg / L and 0.08 mg / L, respectively, exhibiting optimal mechanical properties and heavy metal curing effect. This indicates that the multi-mechanism synergistic effect can significantly promote the densification of the material's internal structure and improve the stabilization ability of heavy metals.
[0135] Secondly, Examples 1-2 to 1-5 each lacked a key functional component (nano-MZT, nano-CSH seed crystals, nano-LDO, or wet carbonization component), meaning that while one functional component was removed from the complete system, all three functional components still participated in the process. The 28-day compressive strength of this type of system was 24.7–25.1 MPa, with overall performance only slightly lower than the complete synergistic system; simultaneously, its heavy metal leaching concentration was slightly increased, but still significantly better than the subsequent systems. This indicates that even with most key components remaining, the system can still form a relatively complete structural network and a multi-path curing mechanism.
[0136] Next, Examples 1-6 to 1-11 retained two functional components, forming a dual-mechanism synergistic system. The 28-day compressive strength of this type of system decreased to 22.9–23.4 MPa, significantly lower than the first two systems in Examples 1-1 to 1-5; simultaneously, the leaching concentrations of heavy metals such as Pb and Cr further increased. This indicates that although a certain synergistic effect still exists in this system, the reduced number of functional components involved in the reaction results in a significant deficiency in the effective curing pathway and structural building capacity, leading to a decline in overall performance.
[0137] Finally, Examples 1-12 to 1-15 retained only one functional component, and the system mainly relied on the basic gelation reaction or a single curing mechanism. The 28-day compressive strength of these systems further decreased to 20.3–22.6 MPa, and the leaching concentration of heavy metals increased significantly. In Examples 1-15, Pb and Cr reached 0.30 mg / L and 0.24 mg / L, respectively, exhibiting the worst overall performance. This indicates that a single curing mechanism is difficult to form a stable and dense structure, has limited ability to fix heavy metals, and is prone to migration and release.
[0138] Comprehensive analysis revealed some fluctuations in the experimental results, which may be related to differences in the microstructure of the raw materials and uneven reaction, but the overall trend remained consistent. As the number of functional components decreased, the mechanical properties and heavy metal curing ability of the material generally declined.
[0139] This invention introduces multiple functional components, including wet carbonization components, nano-LDO, calcined nano-CSH seeds, and nano-MZT, to play roles in structure building, ion immobilization, and mineralization precipitation within the system. Research indicates that material properties depend not only on the type of curing mechanism but also on the number of functional components participating in the reaction.
[0140] When the number of functional components involved in the process decreases, the effective reaction pathways in the system decrease accordingly, thereby weakening the structural building capacity and the ability to fix heavy metals. By constructing a multi-mechanism synergistic curing system, the functional components promote and synergistically interact with each other, thereby achieving a simultaneous improvement in the material's mechanical properties and the heavy metal stabilization effect.

[0144] 1. The amount of mixing water used in each group can be slightly adjusted according to the actual fluidity, with a fluctuation range of ±1 part;

[0146] 3. The experiment focuses on the effects of different dosages of four core raw materials on key properties of cementitious materials, such as strength and heavy metal stabilization effect;
[0147] Example 2-1
[0148] To further illustrate the technical solution of this invention, the components were weighed according to the basic mix proportions shown in Table 3, including 40 parts of pretreated red mud, 15 parts of calcined shell powder, 10 parts of fly ash, 8 parts of S95 slag, 9 parts of ordinary silicate cement, 6.5 parts of composite alkali activator, 7.5 parts of wet-process calcium-magnesium-based multi-element alkali slag, 3.5 parts of nano-LDO, 1.5 parts of calcined nano-CSH seed crystals, 1.4 parts of nano-MZT, 1 part of composite iron-based material, 0.5 parts of fiber reinforcing agent, 0.3 parts of polycarboxylate superplasticizer, and 32 parts of water. The specific method is as follows:
[0149] (1) Add pretreated red mud, calcined shell powder, fly ash, slag, cement, wet-process calcium magnesium-based multi-element alkali slag, nano LDO, calcined nano CSH seed crystals, nano MZT and composite iron-based materials into a mixer and dry mix for 2 to 5 minutes to obtain a uniform dry mix.
[0150] (2) Add the composite alkali activator and polycarboxylate superplasticizer to the mixing water and stir at room temperature for 1 to 3 minutes to obtain a liquid phase system;
[0151] (3) Add the liquid phase system to the dry mixture and stir for 2 to 5 minutes at 80 to 180 r / min. Add the fiber reinforcing agent during the stirring process and continue stirring to disperse it evenly and form a uniform slurry.
[0152] (4) The obtained slurry is cast into a mold and cured at a temperature of 20±2℃ and a relative humidity of ≥95% to obtain a multi-source solid waste heavy metal cementitious material.
[0153] Examples 2-2 to 2-10
[0154] Based on Example 2-1, the dosage of the key component was adjusted using the single variable principle. The types, ratios, and preparation methods of the remaining raw materials were the same as in Example 2-1, as detailed below:
[0155] Example 2-2: The amount of wet carbonization calcium-magnesium-based multi-element alkali slag used is 5 parts;
[0156] Examples 2-3: The amount of wet carbonization calcium-magnesium-based multi-element alkali slag used is 10 parts;
[0157] Examples 2-4: The amount of nano-LDO used was 2 parts;
[0158] Examples 2-5: The amount of nano-LDO used is 5 parts;
[0159] Examples 2-6: The amount of calcined nano-CSH seed crystals used was 1 part;
[0160] Examples 2-7: The amount of calcined nano-CSH seed crystals used was 2.5 parts;
[0161] Examples 2-8: The amount of nano-MZT used was 0.8 parts;
[0162] Examples 2-9: The amount of nano-MZT used was 2 parts;
[0163] Examples 2-10: No wet carbonization components or nano-curing components were added.
[0164] The samples obtained in Examples 2-1 to 2-10 were subjected to compressive strength and heavy metal leaching tests in accordance with the "Specifications for Design of Asphalt Pavement of Highway" (JTG D50-2017) and the "Standard for Identification of Hazardous Waste" (GB 5085.3-2007). The results are shown in Table 4.
[0165] Table 4 Mechanical properties and heavy metal leaching results of different embodiments
[0166]
[0167] As shown in Table 4, in the basic system constructed in Example 2-1, the mechanical properties and heavy metal curing effect of the material can be significantly affected by controlling the key functional components such as wet carbonization components, nano-LDO, nano-CSH seeds, and nano-MZT. Overall, Example 2-1 exhibits good comprehensive performance, while Examples 2-2 to 2-10 further verify the role of each functional component in the multi-mechanism synergistic curing system.
[0168] Among them, Examples 2-5 and 2-7 showed the highest 28-day compressive strength, reaching 30.5 MPa and 31.2 MPa respectively. This indicates that appropriately increasing the content of nano-LDO and nano-CSH seed crystals helps to promote the hydration reaction and optimize the microstructure, thereby significantly improving the mechanical properties of the material.
[0169] Regarding heavy metal solidification, compared with the blank control group (Examples 2-10), the leaching concentrations of heavy metals such as Pb, Cr, and Cd in each example were significantly reduced. Among them, Examples 2-7 showed the lowest heavy metal leaching concentrations, with Pb and Cr decreasing to 0.08 mg / L and 0.04 mg / L, respectively, indicating that nanocrystals and the synergistic effect of multiple mechanisms have a significant promoting effect on heavy metal solidification.
[0170] Further analysis revealed that the wet carbonization component promoted heavy metal mineralization and precipitation by providing carbonate nuclei; nano-LDO achieved interlayer complexation and ion fixation through structural memory effect; nano-CSH seeds accelerated hydration and formed a dense structure; nano-MZT enhanced the adsorption capacity for heavy metals through ion exchange; and iron-based materials further stabilized the heavy metal speciation through reduction and precipitation. The synergistic effect of these components constructed a multi-mechanism solidification system encompassing "gelation solidification—carbonate mineralization—nano-adsorption—interlayer complexation—iron-based reduction."
[0171] In summary, this invention achieves efficient and stable solidification of heavy metals by improving the mechanical properties of materials through multi-mechanism synergistic regulation, and has good prospects for engineering applications.
