Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of biochar material production, and specifically relates to a biochar material preparation system, in particular to a phase-change nano biochar composite material solution preparation system. Background Art

[0002] During highway construction, asphalt concrete materials are widely used in pavement construction due to their good road performance. However, asphalt itself is a temperature-sensitive material, and its stability and performance are easily affected by ambient temperature fluctuations, especially spring thaw and autumn freeze, extreme high and low temperature changes, and heavy rain and snow weather. Under the effects of freeze-thaw cycles and water temperature coupling, asphalt pavement is very likely to cause various diseases. Asphalt pavement diseases not only seriously affect its working performance and shorten its service life, but also increase the cost of pavement maintenance.

[0003] At present, the above problems are mainly solved by asphalt modification, fiber addition, optimization of mineral grading, etc. The main purpose of these methods is to improve the road material's tolerance to high cold and high heat, thereby increasing the service life of the road. They are passive responses to asphalt pavement diseases caused by environmental temperature fluctuations. Although they can increase the service life of the road to a certain extent, the effect is limited and it is still difficult to meet the needs of controlling road diseases caused by significant changes in temperature.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, some patent documents have disclosed methods for using biochar to increase the life of asphalt pavement, that is, using plant carbon sources to prepare biochar, adding biochar to asphalt and its mixture, preparing biochar-modified asphalt and its mixture, which has high high temperature stability and does not affect its own low temperature crack resistance, and is suitable for use in high temperature and high-altitude ultraviolet areas, especially for open-graded roads with high aging performance requirements. However, these solutions do not achieve the functions of heat storage and heat release through material form transformation such as solid-liquid transformation, nor do they modify biochar to increase its active site number and porosity, nor do they perform leakage prevention treatment on biochar after it adsorbs phase change materials, so the temperature control effect of traditional biochar on asphalt pavement is still not ideal.
