The invention discloses a preparation method for preparing a concrete shrinkage
reducing agent from modified natural
biomass chitin as well as a product and application of the concrete shrinkage
reducing agent. Natural
chitin is subjected to
enzyme digestion, esterification, deacylation,
alcohol amination and copolymerization to prepare the shrinkage
reducing agent. According to the preparation method of the shrinkage reducing agent, the application range of
chitin is widened, the production process is simplified, and the material cost and
solvent use are reduced. The modified chitin shrinkage reducing agent has better water
solubility, higher
ether group amount, higher
epoxy group amount, higher
grafting rate, higher charge amount, higher stability and higher
wetting effect, and the adsorption of the shrinkage reducing agent and the volatilization of water in concrete gaps are reduced. Compared with the commercially available shrinkage reducing agent, the modified chitin shrinkage reducing agent solution has higher foaming capacity and lower
surface tension, and the concrete doped with the modified chitin shrinkage reducing agent has shorter
setting time, higher
mechanical property and
crack resistance and lower shrinkage value and
chloride ion permeability. The prepared shrinkage reducing agent is green,
environmentally friendly and high in performance, has multiple benefits of economy, society and
environmental protection, and is wide in application prospect.
