The invention relates to a
red mud curing agent for paving a road and a preparation method of the
red mud curing agent. The
red mud curing agent is made of
silicon oxide, aluminum
oxide,
calcium oxide, industrial byproduct alkali residue, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and
ethylene glycol double
trimellitic anhydride ester. According to the preparation method, the active matters, such as
silicon oxide, aluminum oxide and
calcium oxide, are mixed; the active constituents of the matters are matched with one another, thereby obtaining curing agent and red mud; after being stirred, the curing agent and the red mud are subjected to
ion exchange under the
catalysis of concentrated material, thereby boosting the coagulation of red mud particles; and meanwhile, the red mud is coagulated and hardened, under the
hydration reaction of a gelled material in the curing agent; the red mud has higher working strength within a short period of time; and the exosmose of heavy
metal, radioactive elements and the like, is avoided. The red mud curing agent prepared by the preparation method disclosed by the invention is used together with red mud for paving the road. Compared with the prior art, the red mud curing agent has the advantages of high strength, excellent plate property, high durability, excellent water stability, excellent
frost and melt resistance, excellent air shrinkage resistance, and the like.
