Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of building material chemical industry, in particular to a method for treating residual polymers of an aliphatic water reducing agent.
Background
The aliphatic water reducing agent has the characteristics of wide raw material sources, simple production process, high water reducing rate, good adaptability to cement and the like, and is widely applied in the production process of concrete. The production abnormality of the aliphatic water reducing agent and the condensation reaction during the storage of the aliphatic water reducing agent can generate the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent.
For the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent, no effective and feasible treatment means exists at present, and the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent can only be temporarily subjected to extensive stacking treatment.
Because the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent is insoluble in water, the polymer cannot be directly recycled and applied to the production of the aliphatic water reducing agent. The long-term extensive stacking disposal of the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent causes environmental pollution, so a reasonable and effective treatment method for the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent is urgently needed to be found.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The experimental procedures in the following examples are conventional unless otherwise specified. The test materials and reagents used in the following examples, etc., are commercially available unless otherwise specified. In the quantitative tests in the following examples, three replicates were set, and the data are the mean or the mean ± standard deviation of the three replicates.
In addition, "and/or" in the whole text includes three schemes, taking a and/or B as an example, including a technical scheme, and a technical scheme that a and B meet simultaneously; in addition, the technical solutions in the embodiments may be combined with each other, but it is necessary to be able to be realized by those skilled in the art, and when the technical solutions are combined, they are contradictory or unrealistic.
The invention provides a method for treating residual polymer of an aliphatic water reducing agent, which comprises the following steps:
drying, crushing and grinding the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent to obtain granular residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent;
selecting a granular aliphatic water reducing agent residual polymer with the grain diameter less than 45 mu m as a residual aliphatic water reducing agent polymer powder;
screening the residual polymer of the milled aliphatic water reducing agent, and mechanically mixing the residual polymer powder of the aliphatic water reducing agent with the synergist, the plasticizer and the air entraining agent until the mixture is uniform to prepare the anti-segregation agent;
the mass ratio of the residual aliphatic water reducing agent polymer powder, the synergist, the plasticizer and the air entraining agent is (70-80): (20 to 30): (0.5-1): (0.5-1).
The method comprises the steps of drying, crushing and grinding the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent, screening residual polymer powder of the aliphatic water reducing agent with the particle size of less than 45 mu m, and mechanically mixing the residual polymer powder of the aliphatic water reducing agent with a synergist, a plasticizer and an air entraining agent to prepare the anti-segregation agent.
The residual aliphatic water reducing agent polymer powder with the grain diameter less than 45 mu m in the anti-segregation agent can reduce the dispersion performance and the dispersion retention performance of the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent, has the anti-segregation effect, and solves the problems of concrete segregation, bleeding and the like.
The synergist, the plasticizer and the air entraining agent are added into the anti-segregation agent, because the synergist can ensure the setting time and the strength of the concrete, the plasticizer can improve the plasticity of the concrete, and the air entraining agent can improve the workability of the concrete, the addition of the anti-segregation agent can not influence the setting time and the strength of the concrete in each age. The dosage of the plasticizer and the air entraining agent is not too much, otherwise, the strength of the concrete is influenced, and the dosage of the plasticizer and the air entraining agent is too little, so that the concrete cannot normally play a role. The strength of the concrete is stimulated too early due to excessive consumption of the synergist, so that the later strength of the concrete is not increased or shrunk, and the synergist cannot normally play a role if the consumption of the synergist is too small.
The method for treating the residual polymer of the aliphatic water reducing agent solves the problem of long-term stacking of the residual polymer, and simultaneously converts the residual polymer into the anti-segregation agent, thereby creating economic value.
