Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a cement-based solidification material. [Background technology]
[0002] Patent Document 1 below describes a cement-based solidification material containing cement clinker powder, gypsum dihydrate powder, anhydrous gypsum powder, and ground granulated blast furnace slag. According to this document, the amount of hexavalent chromium eluted from ground improvement soil (a mixture of cement-based solidification material, water, and soil to be improved) can be reduced by setting the hydraulic ratio of the cement clinker powder to 2.00 to 2.10, the free lime content of the cement clinker powder to 0.1 to 1.0 mass%, the total chromium content in the cement clinker powder to 200 ppm or more, the proportion of water-soluble hexavalent chromium in the total chromium content to 3 mass% or less, and the proportion of SO3 in the cement-based solidification material to 3.5 to 15 mass%.
[0003] In Japan, the standard amount of hexavalent chromium contained in tap water (tap water) has been lowered from 0.05 mg / L to 0.02 mg / L in recent years. However, hexavalent chromium eluted from ground improvement soil may be mixed into tap water via groundwater. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of hexavalent chromium contained in tap water to 0.02 mg / L or less, it is considered preferable to reduce the amount of hexavalent chromium eluted from ground improvement soil to 0.02 mg / L or less.
[0004] In the technology described in Patent Document 1 below, in a hexavalent chromium elution test (Test Example 4) using the above cement-based solidification material, the amount of water-soluble hexavalent chromium contained in the cement clinker powder was 10.7 ppm, and the amount of water-soluble hexavalent chromium contained in the ground improvement target soil was 10.7 ppm. 3 The amount of cement-based solidification material mixed in the soil is 70 kg, and the amount of hexavalent chromium eluted from the soil improvement soil is 0.02 mg / L. Therefore, if the amount of water-soluble hexavalent chromium contained in the cement clinker powder exceeds 10.7 ppm, or if the amount of water-soluble hexavalent chromium eluted in the soil improvement soil exceeds 1 m 3If the amount of cement-based solidification material mixed exceeds 70 kg, the soil will contain more hexavalent chromium (contained in the cement-based solidification material) than in Test Example 4 above, and it is thought that the amount of hexavalent chromium leaching from the soil may exceed 0.02 mg / L.

Hereinafter, the L value, a value, and b value in the Hunter Lab color space will be simply referred to as the L value, a value, and b value, respectively. The gypsum powder may be, for example, any one of gypsum dihydrate powder, gypsum hemihydrate powder, and gypsum anhydrite powder, or a mixture of two or more thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] A cement-based solidification material according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. The cement-based solidification material according to this embodiment contains cement clinker powder, gypsum powder, and ground granulated blast furnace slag.

In this specification, the specific surface area means the specific surface area measured using a Blaine air permeation device. The specific method for measuring this specific surface area is specified in "JIS R 5201."
[0017] In order to reduce the amount of hexavalent chromium elution, the total SO content of the cement-based solidification material according to this embodiment is preferably 4.5% by mass or more and 8.0% by mass or less. The specific surface area of the cement-based solidification material according to this embodiment is, for example, 3000 cm 2 / g or more 10000cm2 / g or less.

[0019] Next, test examples for illustrating the performance of the cement-based solidifying material according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Tables 1 to 4.
[0020] [Table 1]
[0021] [Table 2]
[0022] [Table 3]
[0023] [Table 4]
[0024] 1. Experimental methods for each test example (Production of cement-based solidification material) In each test example (test examples A1 to A40 shown in Table 2, test examples B1 to B8 shown in Table 3, and test examples C1 to C10 shown in Table 4), cement clinker powder, gypsum powder, and granulated blast furnace slag were mixed to prepare a cement-based solidification material.
[0025] (Analysis of materials used in cement-based solidification materials) However, before preparing the cement-based solidification material, the chemical composition of the cement clinker powder to be used was measured in accordance with JIS R 5204:2019, the modulus of this cement clinker powder (Equation 1 below) was calculated based on the above chemical composition, and the mineral composition of this cement clinker powder was calculated using the Bogue formula (Equation 2 below) based on the above chemical composition. In addition, the SO3 content, L value, a value, and b value of the ground granulated blast furnace slag to be used were measured. The SO3 content was measured in accordance with JIS R 5202:2010. (Formula 1) HM = CaO / (SiO2 + Al2O3 + Fe2O3) SM = SiO2 / (Al2O3 + Fe2O3) IM=Al2O3 / Fe2O3 (Formula 2) C3S=(4.07×CaO)-((7.60×SiO2)+(6.72×Al2O3)+(1.43×Fe2O3)+(2.85×SO3)) C2S = (2.87 × SiO2) - (0.754 × C3S) C3A=(2.65×Al2O3)-(1.69×Fe2O3) C4AF = (3.04 × Fe2O3)
[0026] (Analysis of cement-based solidification materials) The SO3 content and specific surface area of the prepared cement-based solidification material were also measured. The SO3 content was measured in accordance with JIS R 5204:2019.
[0027] (First experiment on cement-based solidification materials) (Step 1: Preparation of the specimen) A test specimen (corresponding to the improved soil) was prepared by mixing powdered cement-based solidification material, sample soil (corresponding to the soil to be improved), and solvent water. The method for preparing the test specimen was based on "JCAS L-01:2006: Strength test method for improved soil using cement-based solidification material." In preparing the test specimen, the volume of the sample soil [m 3 ], the amount of cement-based solidification material mixed [kg] to 100 kg / m 3The sample soil used was Kanto loam from Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The sample soil had a water content of 102.1% and a wet density of 1.391 g / cm. 3 The particle size composition of the sample soil was 0.6% gravel, 9.0% sand, and 90.4% fine particles.
[0028] (First experiment on cement-based solidification materials) (Step 2: Test piece performance measurement) When the specimen was 7 days old, a uniaxial compressive strength test based on "JIS A 1216:2020: Uniaxial compression test method for soil" and a hexavalent chromium elution test based on "Environmental Agency Notification No. 46 of August 23, 1991: Environmental Standards for Soil Contamination" were conducted on the specimen.
[0029] (Second experiment on cement-based solidification materials) The second experiment differed from the first experiment in the following respects, and was similar to the first experiment in respects not specified below. That is, in the second experiment, Instead of adding cement-based solidification material to the soil in powder form, we use a slurry made by adding water to the cement-based solidification material and stirring it well. Volume of sample soil [m 3 ], the amount of cement-based solidification material mixed [kg] to 100 kg / m 3 rather than 300 kg / m 3 year, The method for preparing the specimens was based on "JGS 0821-2009: Method for preparing specimens without compaction of stabilized soil" rather than "JCAS L-01:2006." Here, the slurry cement-based solidification material is a mixture of 100 mass % of cement-based solidification material and 60 mass % of water.
[0030] 2. Experimental results for each test example Table 1 shows the composition of the cement clinker powder used in each test example.
