Description

Aluminosilicate-containing composition

[0001] The present invention relates to an aluminosilicate-containing composition. More specifically, it relates to an aluminosilicate-containing composition useful for accelerating the curing of a hydraulic material composition.

[0002] In the production process of ordinary Portland cement, a large amount of CO 2 is emitted. Therefore, in order to reduce the emission of CO 2 Concrete compositions in which cement is replaced with supplementary cementitious materials (Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM)) such as fly ash and slag have been proposed. Such SCM concrete has a longer curing time and problems in strength development (especially early strength) compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC).

[0003] Regarding the technology for improving the strength of concrete, Patent Document 1 discloses an aluminosilicate-containing composition containing an aluminosilicate and a water-soluble polymer, wherein the aluminosilicate has an average particle diameter measured by a predetermined measurement method of 10 to 2500 nm.

[0007] The present inventors have conducted various studies on technologies for enhancing the storage stability of compositions used in hydraulic materials. As a result, they have found that a composition containing an aluminosilicate obtained by reacting an aluminum-containing compound and a silicon-containing compound at a temperature of 30°C or higher in the presence of a water-soluble polymer suppresses thickening over time and has excellent storage stability.

[0148] When using the above-mentioned cement dispersant in combination, the ratio of the mixing mass of the other additives and the above-mentioned cement dispersant cannot be uniquely determined due to differences in the type of cement dispersant used, the formulation, and the test conditions, but it is preferable that the ratio of the mixing mass of the other additives and the above-mentioned cement dispersant be 5 to 95:95 to 5. More preferably, it is 10 to 90:90 to 10.

[0149] The above hydraulic material composition can be used with various hydraulic materials, namely cement compositions such as cement and gypsum, and other hydraulic materials. Specific examples of hydraulic compositions containing such hydraulic materials and water, and further optionally containing fine aggregate (sand, etc.) or coarse aggregate (crushed stone, etc.), include cement paste, mortar, concrete, and plaster. Among these hydraulic compositions, cement compositions using cement as the hydraulic material are preferred, and a cement composition containing the above aluminosilicate-containing composition and / or the above hardening accelerator composition, along with cement, is also one of the present inventions.

[0150] In the hydraulic material composition described above, examples of cement include Portland cement (ordinary, rapid-hardening, ultra-rapid-hardening, moderate-heat, sulfate-resistant, and their respective low-alkali forms); various blended cements (blast furnace cement, silica cement, fly ash cement); white Portland cement; alumina cement; ultra-rapid-hardening cement (1-clinker rapid-hardening cement, 2-clinker rapid-hardening cement, magnesium phosphate cement); grout cement; oil well cement; low-heat cement (low-heat blast furnace cement, fly ash-mixed low-heat blast furnace cement, beelite-high content cement); ultra-high-strength cement; cement-based solidifying agent; eco-cement (cement manufactured using one or more of municipal solid waste incineration ash and sewage sludge incineration ash as raw materials).

[0151] The above hydraulic material composition preferably contains, in addition to cement, at least one selected from the group consisting of a substance having latent hydraulic properties and / or pozzolanic activity, and a filler other than calcium carbonate. Normally, SCM concrete has a longer hardening time and problems with early strength development than ordinary Portland cement, but the aluminosilicate-containing composition of the present invention exhibits excellent early strength development even for SCM concrete. Therefore, when the above hydraulic material composition contains at least one selected from the group consisting of a substance having latent hydraulic properties and / or pozzolanic activity, and a filler, it is also one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0152] The total content of substances having latent hydraulic properties and / or pozzolanic activity, as well as fillers, in the above hydraulic material composition is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 to 10,000% by mass per 100% by mass of cement.

[0153] In addition to gravel, crushed stone, granulated slag, and recycled aggregate, other aggregates mentioned above include refractory aggregates such as silica, clay, zircon, high alumina, silicon carbide, graphite, chromium, chromomagnesia, and magnesia. In this invention, when limestone crushed stone, which is mainly composed of large-grained calcium carbonate, is used as aggregate, it is treated as being outside the calculation of the calcium carbonate content.

[0154] In the above hydraulic material composition, 1 m 3 The unit water content, cement usage, and water / cement ratio are not particularly limited; for example, a unit water content of 100 to 185 kg / m³. 3 , amount of cement used: 250-800 kg / m 3 Preferably, the water / cement ratio (by weight) is 0.12 to 0.74. More preferably, the unit water content is 120 to 175 kg / m³. 3 , amount of cement used: 270-800 kg / m 3 The water / cement ratio (by weight) is 0.15 to 0.65. Thus, the hydraulic material composition of the present invention can be used in a wide range of mixes, from lean to rich, and is suitable for high-strength concrete with a high unit cement content, and for concrete with a unit cement content of 300 kg / m³. 3 It is effective for any of the following lean-mix concretes. Furthermore, the hydraulic material composition of the present invention can be used well even in regions with relatively high water loss rates, i.e., in regions with low water / cement ratios such as water / cement ratio (weight ratio) = 0.15 to 0.5 (preferably 0.15 to 0.4).

[0155] The content of the aluminosilicate-containing composition and / or hardening accelerator composition of the present invention in the above hydraulic material composition is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.2 to 500% by mass with respect to 100% by mass of the total of cement, substances having latent hydraulic and / or pozzolanic activity, and fillers. More preferably it is 0.5 to 100% by mass, even more preferably 1 to 20% by mass, and most preferably 1 to 15% by mass.

[0156] In the above hydraulic material composition, the blending ratio of the aluminosilicate is preferably set to, for example, 0.01 to 5% by mass based on solid content, relative to 100% by mass of the total cement mass. If it is less than 0.01% by mass, the performance may not be sufficient, and conversely, if it exceeds 5% by mass, the effect will substantially plateau, which may be unfavorable from an economic standpoint. More preferably it is 0.3 to 3% by mass, even more preferably 0.5 to 3% by mass, and most preferably 1 to 2% by mass. In this specification, the solid content can be measured as follows. In this specification, the solid content can be measured as follows. <Method for measuring solid content> 1. Accurately weigh an aluminum dish. 2. Accurately weigh the solid content sample into the aluminum dish accurately weighed in step 1. 3. Place the solid content sample accurately weighed in step 2 into a drying oven heated to 130°C under a nitrogen atmosphere for 1 hour. 4.

[0170] (GPC Analysis Conditions (Polymer Analysis)) In the obtained RI chromatogram, the regions that were flat and stable at the baseline immediately before and immediately after polymer elution were connected by straight lines to detect and analyze the polymer. However, if the peaks of monomers or monomer-derived impurities partially overlapped with the polymer peak, the polymer portion was vertically split at the deepest recess of the overlapping region with the polymer to separate the polymer portion from the monomer portion and impurity portion, and the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of only the polymer portion were calculated.
