Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of concrete compositions. The technical field of the present invention is hydraulic mineral binders containing at least one slag, such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS or slag), which are used in compositions capable of setting and hardening, such as concrete compositions, and relates to hydraulic mineral binders.
[0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for preparing a wet concrete composition and a method for controlling the workability, rheology, and / or open time of said wet concrete composition.
Background Art
[0003] The production of Portland cement has a strong negative impact on the environment due to the large amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Cement production essentially produces CO2 by decarbonation of limestone during firing of raw materials at very high temperatures (1450 °C) in a kiln (Eq. (1)). CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g) (Eq. (1))
[0004] In addition, carbon dioxide is released as a result of the combustion of fossil fuels required to heat the cement kiln. By adding additional emissions from grinding, approximately 1 ton of CO2 per ton of Portland cement is obtained. The cement industry generally accounts for about 7-9% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
[0005] Furthermore, handling Portland cement can lead to health problems (such as allergies) especially due to its high alkalinity (pH higher than 13). In addition, there is a risk that harmful hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) may be released during kneading, which is also harmful to the health of workers when in contact with the skin. Although cement powder usually contains a Cr(VI) reducing agent (as ferrous sulfate), its efficiency is limited in time. Construction workers, especially those in the third world, are not required to check the deadlines associated with such treatments.
[0006] Recent investigations on new binders aim to replace cement with binders that have a lower environmental impact in various applications. One approach is to use resources such as by-products from other industries (which are waste for one industry but major resources for another) without expensive treatment. This is the case of blast furnace slag, a by-product of the iron and steel industry. By grinding this product into fine powder (GGBS), a cementitious material can be obtained, which can be used as a partial replacement for cement or used alone by adding some chemical activators.
[0007] It is important to note that the use of GGBS not only takes environmental considerations into account but also brings some enhanced properties when used for formulating mortar and concrete, such as high resistance to sulfate attack, low permeability, good resistance in chemically aggressive environments, low heat of hydration (required in large structures), overall excellent durability, and the possibility of immobilizing heavy metals or radionuclides.
[0008] In addition, considering limiting the impact on the environment, it is desirable to limit the amount of water required for the hydraulic setting and hardened concrete composition. However, reducing the mass ratio of water to the binder composition leads to several handling problems such as low dynamic viscosity, making the mixing process difficult, low dynamic viscosity, increasing the spreading time, and controlling the duration of the open time which is generally about 2 hours.

[0056] Definitions According to the terminology used herein, the following non-limiting definitions must be taken into account.
[0057] "Slag" means a stony by-product separated from metals during the smelting or refining of ores.
[0058] "GGBS" or "GGBFS": ground granulated blast-furnace slag, which is equivalent to blast furnace slag, granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), and blast furnace ground slag powder.
[0059] "Cement" is understood to mean a powdery substance manufactured for use in the production of mortar or concrete. This is a mineral hydraulic binder that does not contain any organic compounds. This refers to any ordinary cement and includes alkali-activated cements blended with slag Portland.
[0060] "Binder" refers to "hydraulic binder", which means a material that hardens only by adding water, such as GGBS and cement.
[0061] "Dry concrete" refers to a material composed of a binder, aggregates such as sand and gravel, and other constituent materials such as admixtures. "Wet concrete" refers to a material composed of a binder, aggregates such as sand and gravel, and other constituent materials such as admixtures and water. "Hardened concrete" refers to a hardened product obtained from wet concrete after reaction and evaporation of water.
[0062] "d" 50 "gives the median size of the particle size distribution of the material (usually in micrometers for cementitious materials). This means that 50% of the particles have a size less than a certain number and 50% of the particles have a size greater than a given number. The measurement of d" 50 is carried out by laser diffraction analysis, also known as laser diffraction spectroscopy, using the wet method, by a laser diffraction analyzer such as "Mastersizer 2000" commercially available from MALVERN.
[0063] "Filler" refers to a material whose main role in the binder is physical rather than chemical. Fillers occupy the pore space and are less energy-intensive, so they are used as substitutes for hydraulic binders and supplementary cementitious materials. Here, this term refers to crushed limestone, crushed dolomite, marble powder, siliceous sand, recycled concrete fine aggregate, or a mixture thereof.

[0171] Preparation of concrete composition and trial of concrete composition The concrete composition was prepared by the following procedure: First, the aggregate and binder were mixed for 1 minute. The admixture system was added to the water, and the entire amount of water + admixture system was added during mixing. The concrete was mixed for an additional 2 minutes.
[0172] The CEM mortar composition (mortar concrete equivalent) was prepared according to "Method of the concrete equivalent mortar (CEM) - A new tool to design concrete containing admixture" - A. Schwartzentruber and C. Catherine
[1999] Materials and Structures, Vol. 33, October 2000.
[0173] The time flow of the wet concrete composition was measured according to the experimental standard "XP P18-469-Cone outflow time" published by AFNOR in January 2019. By conducting trials every 30 minutes, the time flow was monitored up to a maximum of 1 hour and 30 minutes. Before each new trial, the concrete was mixed for 30 seconds.
[0174] The time flow of CEM was also measured according to the experimental standard "XP P18-469-Cone outflow time" published by AFNOR in January 2019, except that the cone had an inlet opening with a diameter of 15.0 cm, an outlet opening with a diameter of 3.9 cm, and a height of 12.0 cm.
[0175] The slump test was performed using an Abrams cone according to the standard NF EN 12350-2. By conducting trials every 30 minutes, the slump was monitored up to a maximum of 1 hour and 30 minutes. Before each new trial, the concrete was mixed for 30 seconds.
[0176] The spread of CEM mortar was measured using an MBE cone according to "Method of the concrete equivalent mortar (CEM)-A new tool to design concrete containing admixture" - A. Schwartzentruber and C. Catherine
[1999] Materials and Structures, Vol. 33, October 2000.
[0177] The water-reducing polymers used in the examples are HPEG RB1050 (registered trademark) and HPEG PC1901 manufactured by Marla (registered trademark), Chryso (registered trademark) Fluid Optima 100 manufactured by Saint Gobain, and Viscocrete (registered trademark) tempo 10 manufactured by Sika.
[0178] (Example 1: Influence of water-reducing polymers) Three types of concrete compositions were prepared according to Table 1 below.
[0179] [Table 1]
[0180] The time flow and slump after 0 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes after mixing are described in Table 2 below.
[0181] [Table 2]
[0182] As can be seen from Table 2, the use of HPEG or Optima 100 makes it possible to maintain the time flow and slump of the concrete, while the use of Viscocrete® Tempo 10 results in concrete that hardens before 30 minutes. This indicates that the use of HPEG or Optima increases the open time and rheology.
[0183] (Example 2: Effect of Wetting Agent on CEM) Five types of CEM were prepared according to Table 3 below.
[0184] [Table 3]
[0185] These MBEs were mixed for 90 seconds after the introduction of water, then the mixing was stopped in order to perform the time flow and spread tests, and then the mixing was restarted. As shown in Figure 1, the energy required for the mixing of each sample was measured. As can be seen from Figure 1, the energy required for the mixing of MBEs is lower for MBEs (MBE2, MBE3, MBE4, and MBE5) containing a wetting agent or surfactant (Constituent Material C2) after 50 s.
[0186] After 90 seconds of mixing, the spread and flow time of each MBE were measured. The results are shown in Table 4 below.
[0187] [Table 4]
[0188] The addition of a wetting agent or surfactant makes it possible to reduce the mixing time required to obtain acceptable rheology and viscosity characteristics. What this means is that the addition of a wetting agent or surfactant improves miscibility and thus makes it possible to obtain a lower viscosity with a smaller aqueous system and a shorter mixing time.
[0189] (Example 3: Effect of Wetting Agent on Concrete Composition) Additional concrete compositions were prepared according to Table 5 below.
[0190] [Table 5]
[0191] Immediately after mixing, the spread and flow time of each wetted concrete were measured. The results are shown in Table 6 below.
[0192] [Table 6]
[0193] The addition of a wetting agent makes it possible to reduce the mixing time required to obtain acceptable rheology and viscosity characteristics. What this means is that the addition of a wetting agent improves miscibility and thus makes it possible to obtain a lower viscosity with a smaller aqueous system and a shorter mixing time.
