Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of hydraulic binder compositions comprising blast furnace slag powder (GGBS) for preparing construction products. In particular, the technical field of the present invention relates to hydraulic mineral binders comprising blast furnace slag powder (GGBS or slag) used in compositions that can be solidified and hardened, such as mortar and concrete. [Background technology]
[0002] The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) has a significant negative impact on the environment due to the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide. Cement production inherently generates CO2 through the decarboxylation reaction of limestone while the raw materials are fired at very high temperatures (1450°C) in a furnace (Equation (1)). CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g) (1)
[0003] Furthermore, carbon dioxide is emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels required to heat the furnaces. Adding the additional emissions from crushing, Portland cement yields almost one ton of CO2 per ton. Overall, the cement industry accounts for 7-9% of global carbon dioxide emissions. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0004] The harmful effects of Portland cement are exacerbated by the high water demand required for complete hydration.
[0005] Furthermore, handling Portland cement can cause health problems (such as allergies) due to its high alkalinity (pH 13 or higher). Additionally, harmful elements such as hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) may be released during mixing, which is also toxic to workers. While cement powder usually contains Cr(VI) reducing agents (such as iron sulfate), their effects are limited in duration. Construction workers, especially those in developing countries, are not expected to frequently check the expiration dates for such treatments.
[0006] Most current research on new binders aims to replace cement with binders that have a less environmental impact in various applications. One approach is to use resources without expensive processing, such as by-products from other industries (which are waste for some industries but a major resource for others). This applies to blast furnace slag, a by-product of the iron industry. By grinding this product into a fine powder (GGBS), a cementitious material can be obtained that can be used as a partial substitute for cement, or used alone by adding some chemical activators (such as alkalis or sulfates).
[0007] It is important to note that the use of GGBS is not only environmentally friendly, but also leads to several enhanced properties, including high resistance to sulfate attacks, low permeability, excellent resistance in chemically aggressive environments, low heat of hydration (necessary for large structures), generally excellent durability, and the potential for immobilization of heavy metals or radionuclides.
[0008] Another advantage of GGBS-based products is the low water requirement for obtaining suitable rheological properties. This is important from both environmental and social perspectives. In fact, water resources are dwindling dramatically worldwide, not just in arid regions, and this is particularly linked to geopolitical tensions and wars. In this regard, given the vast amounts of cementitious material consumed globally, the benefit of reducing the amount of kneading water used in cementitious materials is not anecdotal.
[0009] Hydraulic binders containing GGBS in amounts between 36% and 95% by mass, and Portland cement clinker, are known as CEM III. Literature WO 2011 / 055063 A1 discloses a hydraulic binder containing two different types of GGBS, one having a fineness of less than 6000 Blaine value and the other having a fineness of 6000 or more Blaine value. This hydraulic binder can overcome some of the drawbacks of conventional hydraulic binders containing GGBS, such as the formation of excess ettringite or unreacted calcium sulfate, which causes undesirable expansion of the construction material obtained from the conventional hydraulic binder, resulting in reduced strength and durability.
[0010] While these hydraulic binders provide satisfaction with respect to the problems addressed, GGBS-based hydraulic binders can be further improved, particularly in terms of rheology, solidification time, and water requirements.
[0011] In this context, the present invention aims to address at least one of the above-mentioned problems and / or needs by achieving at least one of the following objectives: O1. To provide a slag-based binder or a mortar or concrete composition comprising the slag-based binder, which is an attractive alternative to an OPC-based composition. O2. To provide a slag-based binder or a mortar or concrete composition containing the slag-based binder, which is more acceptable than an OPC-based composition in terms of hygiene and safety issues. O3. To provide construction products such as slag-based binders or mortar compositions, concrete compositions, dry concrete compositions, and dry mortar compositions containing the slag-based binder, and to produce a wet formulation having appropriate rheological properties, that is, a stable rheology (excellent workability) during the normal setting time (e.g., several minutes to several hours) required by the user of the wet formulation, and to reduce the risk of compromising the water / binder ratio and the mechanical properties of the hardened material obtained from this wet formulation. O4. To provide a slag-based binder or a mortar or concrete composition containing the slag-based binder, and to produce a hardened material having the required mechanical properties, particularly an acceptable initial strength (e.g., 24 hours). O5. To provide a slag-based binder or a mortar or concrete composition containing the slag-based binder, and to produce a hardened material having the required durability.

In other words, the dry concrete composition or dry industrial mortar composition of the present invention may contain some moisture, but essentially contains solid components intended to be mixed with water before application.
[0049] Aggregates fall under the broad category of particulate materials used in construction and include sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag (not granular), recycled concrete, and geosynthetic aggregates. They function as reinforcing materials that add strength to the overall composite material. Aggregates may also include recycled rubber powder.

[0063] The total content of any other components in the dry concrete composition or dry industrial mortar composition is preferably between 0.1% by mass and 10% by mass of the total mass of the dry concrete composition or dry industrial mortar composition.

[0065] In certain embodiments, the wet mortar formulation is a so-called "ready-to-use" mortar. "Ready-to-use" mortars are used to assemble bricks or blocks at construction sites. They are obtained by directly mixing all elements of the composition (binder, aggregate, and other components) with water in a mixing plant. They contain a solidification retarder, allowing for transport and delayed use for up to several days while maintaining their rheological and curing properties.

[0068] In other words, a wet concrete composition or a wet industrial mortar composition can be prepared by two different methods.
[0069] In the first method, a binder composition is prepared and then mixed with at least one aggregate. Subsequently, the dry concrete composition or dry industrial mortar composition is mixed with water.
[0070] In the second method, a wet concrete mixture or a wet industrial mortar mixture is prepared by mixing the binder composition and the aggregate components in water.
[0071] According to this disclosure, the term “mixture” should be understood as any form of mixture.
[0072] In a preferred embodiment, a portion of the hydraulic binder composition and at least a portion of the water are mixed together before mixing with the aggregate.
[0073] In a preferred embodiment, the method is carried out with a ratio of water to binder composition between 0.1 and 1.2, preferably between 0.15 and 0.7, and more preferably between 0.2 and 0.4.
[0074] Use of hydraulic binder composition The present invention also relates to the use of the above-mentioned binder composition to improve the fresh-state rheology, such as the fresh-state yield stress and fresh-state viscosity, of wet concrete formulations or wet industrial mortar formulations, particularly mortars for tile adhesives, coatings, assembling mortars, repair mortars, renderers, technical mortars, and floor coverings.
[0075] Advantageously, for use according to the present invention, the yield strength of the mortar in its fresh state is set between 0 Pa and 200 Pa, preferably between 5 Pa and 100 Pa, and more preferably between 30 Pa and 60 Pa.
[0076] Advantageously, for use according to the present invention, the viscosity of the paste in its fresh state is set between 0 Pa.s and 50 Pa.s, preferably between 15 Pa.s and 35 Pa.s, and more preferably between 20 Pa.s and 30 Pa.s.
[0077] The present invention also covers the use of the above-mentioned binder composition for the preparation of precast concrete or ready-mix concrete. [Examples]
[0078] Example 1: Preparation of blast furnace slag fine powder according to the present invention (GGBS New) GGBS New was prepared by controlling the grinding and fineness according to the grinding process. GGBS New can also be prepared by combining and blending different grinding processes.
[0079] The fineness of GGBS measured by the Blaine method according to standard EN 196-6 is not a suggestive parameter to use for GGBS New. In fact, a sample of GGBS New with a Blaine value of 5488 was compared to GGBS with a Blaine value of 5487 (GGBS 5400) that was produced without selecting and controlling the particle size distribution (PSD).
[0080] Figure 1 shows the cumulative and differential percentages of the particle size distribution for both GGBS New and GGBS 5400. From Figure 1, D 20 The particle size distribution up to d is quite similar, 40 A significant difference can be observed. The particle size distribution was measured using a laser particle size analyzer with a dry method.
[0081] Example 2: Measurement of Vicat solidification time Four paste samples were prepared as follows, with a water / binder ratio of 0.5. S1: Binder: 50% OPC, 50% GGBS New S2: Binder: 25% OPC, 75% GGBS New S3: Binder: 50% OPC, 50% GGBS 5400 S4: Binder: 25% OPC, 75% GGBS 5400
[0082] In accordance with standard EN 196-3, the Vicat solidification times were measured and reported in Table 1 below. The initial solidification time corresponds to the elapsed time from the moment water is added to the cement until the paste begins to lose its plasticity. The final solidification time is the elapsed time from the moment water is added until the paste completely loses its plasticity and begins to resist. [Table 1]
[0083] The solidification time of sample S1 was increased compared to the solidification time of sample S3.
[0084] The solidification time of sample S2 was increased compared to the solidification time of sample S4.
[0085] Figures 2 (S1 and S3) and 3 (S2 and S4) show the comparative changes in solidification time during the first 12 hours using the ultrasonic method.
[0086] The ultrasonic testing method consists of automatically extracting specific parameters of ultrasonic waves continuously recorded during the solidification and hardening of mortar materials. The resulting curves illustrate the behavior of the material and are closely related to the hydration process of the mortar. These curves are related to elastic properties and provide a comprehensive picture of the hardening process in a way that was previously inaccessible. Ultrasonic measurements enable monitoring of changes in the elastic properties of cementitious materials and thus provide insights into the development of microstructure and strength. Ultrasonic measurements were performed on standard mortars according to EN 196-1, made by replacing ordinary Portland cement with up to 50% and 75% GGBS.
[0087] Figures 4 (S1 and S3) and 5 (S2 and S4) show the comparative changes in the ultrasonic curing process, following the continued hydration and resulting changes in mechanical strength over the first 28 days.
[0088] In the case of GGBS with the same fineness, it can be concluded that the particle size distribution of GGBS according to the present invention makes it possible to increase the solidification time without reducing the mechanical strength over 28 days.
[0089] Example 3: Water demand experiment This test involves filling a paste into two layers and placing a frustoconical mold (Figure 6) on a glass plate. The mold is then lifted, and the spread is measured using its diameter, obtaining an average value between 140 mm and 280 mm. This procedure is then repeated for different proportions of other substances and water until a point sufficient to show the linear relationship in Figure 7 is reached.
[0090] Subsequently, the relative flow area (R) is calculated using Equation 1 by measuring the average diameter (D) of the spread.
number
[0091] According to Figure 7, a linear relationship can be obtained between the relative flow area and the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of powder.
[0092] The ratio of water to powder is calculated using Equation 2 and has a clear dependency on the relative flow area (R).
number
[0093] β p represents the water ratio, taking into account the water in the pores of the material particles and the water in the spaces between the particles. Therefore, it represents the minimum amount of water required for the powder to become paste-like. On the other hand, EP is defined as the deformation modulus and represents the sensitivity of the paste's fluidity to changes in water content.
[0094] Figure 8 shows that GGBS New forms a paste and requires less water than GGBS 5400 to obtain the same spread.
[0095] As a result, the specific particle distribution of GGBS according to the present invention has the same rheology, namely β P To achieve the same spread flow as in the tests conducted, it is possible to use less water than a standard GGBS with the same fineness.
