Description

Composite hydraulic binder, method of its production and its use

Field of technology

The present invention relates to a composite hydraulic binder based on aluminosilicates, a calcium component and a spread calcium component, a process for its production and its use in construction.

Prior art

The traditional hydraulic binder is Portland cement, which consists of ground clinker with gypsum. Furthermore, mixed cements are used which contain, in addition to clinker and gypsum, other substances which are actively involved in the hydration process. Mixture cements are substances that do not react with water on their own. In the presence of exciter-activators, they form hydrates similar to those formed during the hydration of Portland cement. These additives are called latently hydraulic substances, such as pozzolans. Pozzolanes are either of a natural nature - substances from volcanic activity, and artificial pozzolans such as blast furnace granulated slag, fly ash, calcined clays, etc. Types of mixed cements are included in existing standard regulations - standards. In addition to these mixed cements, there is a group of cements where clinker and gypsum form a minor part of the binder. These low-energy and low-cost binders - masonry cement - are also often used. Masonry cement is produced by grinding a mixture of Portland clinker with pozzolans, such as fly ash, calcined clays, limestone, dolomitic limestone, slag and many other substances. These cheap binders reach low strengths, after 28 days of the order of MPa. Their indisputable advantage is the low price and minimal CO2 emissions during the production of the binder.

Historically, the following binders are known:

o Pucolán (ground weathered volcanic lava, volcanic dust) + Ca (OH) 2 (slaked lime).

o Roman cement described in Marcus Vitruvius Pollio: De architectura libri decem ”(10 books on architecture, found in 1415 in St.Gallen).

The essence of the invention

In our experiments, a previously undescribed binder composition was found, containing anhydrous predominantly amorphous aluminosilicate, calcium oxide and anhydrous calcium sulfate anhydrite II (high temperature, insoluble anhydrite). Surprisingly, it has been observed that the CaO + CaSO4 All system acts synergistically to hydrate the amorphous aluminosilicate. Mixtures of amorphous aluminosilicate substance only with CaO or only with CaSO4 All have significantly worse properties after hydration, especially strength.

The presence of anhydrous and predominantly amorphous aluminosilicates is required in the binder of the present invention. Real aluminosilicate crystalline substances (eg clays) have water molecules in their structure. By calcination at temperatures above 500 ° C, water leaks (dehydration) and the formation of an amorphous substance - metakaolin according to the following equation:

A12O3.2SiO2.2H2O (kaolinite) -> Al2O3.2S1O2 (metakaolin) + 2H2O (g)

When heated above 925 ° C, crystalline spinel and amorphous SiO2 are formed.

Clays and other aluminosilicates in their original crystalline form cannot be activated by the addition of lime activators. Only the amorphous form after calcination is amenable to activation.

The calcined aluminosilicate substances (amorphous character) from poisonous raw materials contain crystalline substances mainly quartz in the range from 1 to 40% by weight, and others. The quartz present can act as a microfiller.

In nature, amorphous aluminosilicate substances such as pozzolans, volcanic dust, etc. occur. These substances do not have water molecules in their structure and are accessible to calcium activation.

The binder-water reaction consists in the calcium sulphate activation of aluminosilicates. Calcium sulphate activation takes place by the action of anhydrous components of the binder CaO + CaSO4 anhydrite II during their reaction with water:

CaO + H ₂ O Ca (OH) ₂

CaSO4 All (insoluble) + 2 H2O (in the presence of Ca (OH) 2) -> CaSO4 .2H2O (gypsum solubility 2 g / l).

Aluminosilicate substance (amorphous, anhydrous) in the presence of Ca (OH) 2 · ions SO4 ² -> CA-binder phase and SH CSH, ettringite (+ SEM ED). CaO is present in the hardened binder mass, which could be a potential source of expansion phenomena. The ettringite formed due to the addition of a plasticizer does not have the character of directed crystals causing expansion.

The experiments further show that the binder according to the invention optimally contains particles with a particle size of at most 150 [mu] m.

Examples of embodiments of the invention

Example 1

Comparative experiments were performed to compare the efficiency of lime activation of aluminosilicates. Kaolinitic clay was calcined to 830 ° C to prepare the binder. Mortars with continuous granulometric sand in a binder: sand ratio of 1: 3 were prepared. The term continuous granulometric means that the particle size distribution curve has a smooth character without extremes or breaks. A plasticizer at a concentration of 1.8% by weight, binder, was added to the mixing water. Mortars were prepared with approximately the same visual workability. The water factor w is the weight ratio of water to solids.

CaSO4 anhydrite II, 12% by weight, anhydrous CaO liquid mortar, onset of setting 1 to 1.5 hours strength after 28 days 65 MPa Comparative experiments (known solutions reported in the literature) Mortar properties 80% by weight, calcined clay + 20% by weight. CaO w = 0.43 unprocessable, strong development of heat of hydration 75% by weight, calcined clay + 25% by weight. CaSO ₄ All w = 0.45 adhesive mortar, not hardened after 10 days 75% by weight, calcined clay + 25% by weight. Ca (OH) ₂ w = 0.43 w = 0.60 strength after 28 days 30 MPa 67% by weight, calcined clay + 19% by weight. Ca (OH) 2 + 14% by weight. CaSO4 All, w = 0.43 mortar quickly loses fluidity, strength after 28 days 38 MPa

It can be seen from Table 1 that significantly better strengths can be obtained with the process according to the invention than with the known processes of lime activation of calcined clays.

For individual variants of the binder composition, slurries and mortars with w = 0.43 were prepared in a way in which the individual parts of the binder in powder form were first mixed dry in a mixer for 10 minutes. 2% by weight of a polycarboxylate-based plasticizer, based on the total weight of the binder, was added to the mixing water. After mixing the slurry, the slurry was placed in 2 x 2 x 2 cm test specimen molds. During the preparation of the mortar, a mixture of standard granulometric sand in a binder / sand ratio of 1: 3 was added to the prepared slurry. After the preparation of the mortar, the mortar was put into molds for the preparation of test specimens measuring 4x4x16 cm. Until the strength tests, the bodies were placed in a 95% rel. humid. The water coefficient of slurries and mortars was 0.43 (water / powder binder).

Compressive strengths of slurries and mortars were determined between 7 and 180 days after preparation. The thematic diagrams in Figures 1, 2 and 3 show lines of the same strength (MPa) depending on the composition, which were constructed from the measured strength values (interpolation and graphical representation using the Origin program).

The strengths of the slurries were determined 28 and 180 days after preparation and are shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Mortar strengths were determined 14 days after preparation (Fig. 3).

The composition marked with point X in Fig. 3 (68% by weight, calcined clay, 20% by weight. CaSO4 All, 12% by weight. CaO) was used in further experiments (Examples 3 to 8, 10).

The product was ground to a fineness where 80% of the particles had a size below 100 μm. From this product a mortar was prepared with w = 0.43, based on the weight of the binder, and a binder to sand ratio of 1: 2.5.

The calcined product contained X-ray diffraction and X-ray. fluorescence analyzes amorphous aluminosilicate fraction (67% by weight), CaO (13% by weight) and CaSO4 anhydrite (20% by weight). The product was ground to a fineness where 80% of the particles had a size below 100 μm. From this product a mortar was prepared with w = 0.43, based on the weight of the binder, and a ratio of binder to sand of 1: 3. The mortar had an onset of setting of 1.5 hours and reached a compressive strength of 32 MPa after 28 days.
