Description

  The present invention relates to a rapid clinker and a cement composition using the clinker, and in particular, exhibits rapid hardening and can reduce the content of hexavalent chromium which is a harmful heavy metal, and the rapid clinker and the clinker. The present invention relates to a cement composition using a clinker.

In recent years, in construction work for tunnels and underground spaces, a spray construction method has been widely practiced in which a cement mixture such as mortar and concrete is sprayed and lined on a wall surface or an exposed surface to prevent collapse of the wall surface or the exposed surface.
In this concrete spraying method, concrete is prepared, and the minimum usable time (handling time) necessary for handling it is secured, and after spraying on the wall surface or exposed surface, the concrete is immediately cured. It is necessary to let
In addition, it is necessary to secure the pot life of mortar and concrete in water stoppage work and emergency work and to harden it immediately.

Conventionally, as a clinker used for a rapid-hardening cement, there are a jet cement clinker, an Irwin clinker whose main component is C ₄ A ₃ SO ₃ , an alumina cement clinker whose main component is CA, and the like.
There is also a method of obtaining amorphous C ₁₂ A ₇ by melting a clinker mainly composed of C ₁₂ A ₇ which is a rapid hardening component and then rapidly cooling it.

However, the conventional jet cement clinker is a clinker containing a calcium silicate phase as a main component and containing about 20 to 30% by weight of C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaF ₂ as a fast-hardening component, and is a rapid hardening component of C ₁₂ A ₇ . It is not satisfactory as a clinker for a rapid hardening cement because it has a low content and cannot exhibit sufficient rapid hardening.
Irwin-based clinker is used as a clinker for quick-hardening cement because it contains 70% by weight or more of erwin (C ₄ A ₃ SO ₃ ) having quick-hardening properties. There is a problem that it is inferior in rapid hardening at low temperatures.

Alumina cement clinker composed mainly of CA, compared to clinker mainly composed of C ₁₂ A _7, is inferior suddenly rigid, the clinker mainly composed of conventional C ₁₂ A _7, for example, the aforementioned The clinker based on C ₁₂ A ₇ which is a rapid hardening component is once melted and then rapidly cooled to synthesize amorphous C ₁₂ A ₇ . The method of manufacturing a clinker is complicated. In this manufacturing method, since the electrofusion method is used for melting the clinker, a large amount of power is consumed, the power cost is increased, and the manufacturing cost is eventually increased. is there.

  In addition, there is a quick setting cement that adds quick setting material to Portland cement to give quick setting, but usually a large amount of quick setting material such as calcium aluminate or Irwin is added to Portland cement. For this reason, in addition to an increase in cost, there is a disadvantage in that high quick setting cannot be obtained and there is a problem in strength.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-293594, a predetermined hard working time can be secured, and as a hardened cement composition and a quick setting material that harden rapidly after the working time has passed, it has a certain range of lattice constants. A sintered body containing a crystalline C ₁₁ A ₇ · CF ₂ solid solution is blended, and preferably 40% by weight or more, a rapid setting material for rapid hardening cement, and the rapid setting material is fixed to the base cement. A hardened cement composition with added content is disclosed.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-267762 discloses calcium aluminate, sulfate, sodium aluminate having a molar ratio of NaO ₂ / Al ₂ O ₃ of less than 1.0, and Portland cement as a rapid setting material for concrete. A rapid setting material to be contained, wherein the amount of Na ₂ O in the quick setting material is 1.5 to 10.0% by mass, and the total amount of calcium aluminate, sulfate and sodium aluminate is 100 parts by mass. On the other hand, a quick setting material in which the amount of Portland cement is 1.0 part by mass or more is disclosed.

  However, both of these conventional quick setting materials and quick setting cements require special raw materials and equipment to obtain the quick setting materials, which makes the manufacturing complicated and increases the manufacturing cost. In addition, a cement composition in which a quick setting material is added to Portland cement has a problem that it is difficult to express a quick setting performance as expected.

On the other hand, in recent years, for the purpose of reducing hexavalent chromium in cement, baking in a cement reducing atmosphere has also been studied, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-249775 discloses that it is manufactured in a reducing atmosphere at 1000 ° C. or higher. In addition, a fast-hardening type solidifying material is disclosed that includes calcium aluminate, cement, lime, and gypsum and reduces the elution of hexavalent chromium by the action of calcium aluminate.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-18339 discloses a method for reducing hexavalent chromium in a cement clinker in which a cement clinker containing hexavalent chromium is heat-treated at 650 to 1100 ° C. in a reducing atmosphere.

However, these methods have the problem that although the amount of hexavalent chromium is reduced to cause the decomposition or hydration activity decrease of C _{3 S,} decrease in strength occurs.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a quick-cure clinker that is easy to manufacture, does not require special equipment and equipment, has excellent hydration activity, has good quenching performance, and is economically inexpensive. It is.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an economically inexpensive cement composition that can secure a predetermined pot life using the rapid-hardening clinker and exhibits excellent quick-hardness.

In the present invention, C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) is calcined in a reducing atmosphere to obtain C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents halogen). This is achieved by finding that the amount of substitutional solid solution from Al ³⁺ to Fe ³⁺ in the solid solution can be reduced, the hydration activity can be improved, and the rapid hardening action can be expressed.

That is, the rapid-hardening clinker of the present invention is obtained by firing C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ .CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) in a reducing atmosphere, and has a lattice constant measured by X-ray diffraction. It is 11.93 to 11.96cm.
Preferably, in the rapid-hardening clinker of the present invention, the firing in the reducing atmosphere is performed at a temperature of 1300 to 1380 ° C.
The rapid-hardening cement composition of the present invention includes the rapid-hardening clinker of the present invention and a sulfate.
Preferably, the cement composition of the present invention contains 70 to 90% by mass of the rapid-hardening clinker and 10 to 30% by mass of sulfate.

The quick-hardening clinker of the present invention does not require special equipment or equipment, is easy to manufacture, has excellent quick-hardening performance by improving hydration activity, and reduces the content of hexavalent chromium, which is a hazardous heavy metal Economically and inexpensively.
In addition, the cement composition of the present invention can ensure a predetermined pot life, exhibits excellent rapid hardening performance by improving hydration activity, and reduces the content of hexavalent chromium which is a harmful heavy metal, It becomes possible to make it economically cheap.
Therefore, the present invention can be effectively applied to rapid hardening applications at work sites and the like, and it is possible to greatly improve problems such as water contamination and soil contamination due to hexavalent chromium contained in cement.

The present invention is illustrated by the following preferred examples, but is not limited thereto.
The rapid hardening clinker of the present invention will be described.
The rapid-hardening clinker of the present invention is obtained by firing C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) in a reducing atmosphere, preferably at 1300 to 1380 ° C. .
In this way, by firing C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ in a reducing atmosphere, Al ³⁺ in C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ is substituted with Fe ³⁺ . A rapid hardening clinker that can reduce the amount of solution, improve hydration activity, develop a rapid hardening action, is relatively inexpensive, does not require special equipment, and has a low hexavalent chromium content, and the clinker Thus, a quick-hardening cement composition can be obtained.

First, calcium aluminate of C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents a halogen) is based on, for example, the Bogue formula, calcareous raw material (eg, quick lime, slaked lime, limestone), alumina raw material (eg; (Aluminum hydroxide, alumina) and calcium fluoride raw material (eg, fluorite) are blended as necessary.
Next, the blended raw material is calcined in a reducing atmosphere to obtain a clinker. The calcining temperature varies depending on the raw material, the calcining method, etc., and cannot be determined in general, but C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A _7. Clinker is obtained by firing at a temperature lower than the melt temperature of the CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) solid solution, for example, at a temperature of 1300 to 1380 ° C., preferably 1330 to 1370 ° C.
For example, when the firing temperature is less than 1300 ° C., firing becomes insufficient, and when it exceeds 1380 ° C., decomposition of C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ occurs.
The firing time cannot be generally determined by the amount of clinker to be treated, but is usually about 1 to 2 hours.

  The atmosphere at this time is a reducing atmosphere, but the reducing atmosphere is not particularly limited. Usually, reducing properties such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen are suppressed in a state where oxygen supply is suppressed in a sealed container. Use a reducing atmosphere by a method of heating while supplying gas, a method of heating to supply flammable materials such as various solid fuels and flammable waste in a sealed container with oxygen supply suppressed. In particular, a method of supplying a reducing gas is preferable from the viewpoint of preventing a change in the quality of the clinker due to the residue of combustion products.

The reducing gas may be supplied directly to the portion to be fired, or may be supplied after being diluted with an inert gas such as argon. The degree of dilution is not particularly limited, and usually the reducing gas is used. It is sufficient if the concentration is at least about 1% by volume or more.
When supplying the reducing gas, it is preferable to completely shut off the supply of oxygen.

At this time, when C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ .CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) is produced in the course of firing in a reducing atmosphere, the rapid hardening clinker of the present invention is produced.
Note that a clinker containing C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ .CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) produced separately may be reduced and fired instead of the above-described blended raw materials. For example, a cement cooler The clinker in a heated state taken out from an appropriate path may be the target of processing, and the clinker that has been cooled after firing may be the target of processing, and a normal lump clinker can be processed in the same size. .

_Thus, the _C 12 _{A 7} or _{C 11 A 7 · CaX 2 (} X is a halogen) containing clinker by firing under a reducing atmosphere, _{typically, C 11 A 7 · CaX 2 (} X is a halogen 8-9 mass% of Fe ³⁺ is substituted and dissolved in Al ³⁺ in (shown), but since Fe ³⁺ is reduced to Fe ²⁺ , the amount of Fe ³⁺ is reduced by hydration. The activity is improved and good rapid hardening can be exhibited.
Moreover, since Cr ⁶⁺ is reduced to Cr ³⁺ , the effect that hexavalent chromium contained can be reduced can also be expected.

Such C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) -containing clinker includes C ₁₂ A ₇ , C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) in addition to C ₃ A. ), C ₃ S, C ₂ S, C ₄ AF, or the like.
Preferably, during the _C 12 _{A 7} or _{C 11 A 7 · CaX 2 (} X is a halogen) containing _{clinker, C} 12 _{A 7} or _{C 11 A 7 · CaX 2 (} X is a halogen) is It is preferable that 20-30 mass% is contained.
If it is 20% by mass or more, sufficient rapid hardening and strength development can be obtained, and if it is 30% by mass or less, it is possible to produce a clinker while maintaining good properties without being excessively melted. .

The C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) -containing clinker after firing in a reducing atmosphere has a lattice constant measured by X-ray diffraction of 11.93 to 11.96Å.
By different lattice constants, the setting speed, that is, the degree of rapid hardening, is different, so in order to secure the pot life and obtain rapid hardening, the range of lattices can be obtained by firing at the above firing temperature. It would be desirable to obtain a constant number of hard clinker.
If the lattice constant is within this range, the properties of the resulting rapid-hardening clinker will not vary, and the setting time can be easily and accurately controlled, ensuring the specified handling time and obtaining rapid hardening. Is possible.
However, the lattice constant is a value measured by powder X-ray diffraction. The metal silicon powder manufactured by High Purity Chemical Laboratory is used as an internal standard, and X-Pert Pro system manufactured by Spectris Co. is used for powder X-ray diffraction. The measurement conditions will be described in detail in the following examples.

The rapid hardening clinker, which is the C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) -containing clinker, is pulverized and used as a powder in a cement composition.
The clinker preferably has a brain specific surface area of 4500 cm ² / g or more, and if it is less than 4500 cm ² / g, good rapid hardening may not be obtained.
Further, the larger the specific surface area of the brain, the longer the pulverization time is required, the lower the productivity and the higher the cost. Therefore, the specific surface area of 5000 to 7000 cm ² / g is desirable.
Further, a grinding aid (diethylene glycol, triethanolamine, etc.) may be added when grinding.

The quick-hardening cement composition of the present invention is a rapid-hardening clinker powder of the present invention, which is a clinker powder containing C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ .CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) fired in the reducing atmosphere. It contains a sulfate.
The sulfate functions as a setting regulator.
Specific examples include alkali metal sulfates such as sodium sulfate (sodium sulfate) and potassium sulfate, alkaline earth metal sulfates such as magnesium sulfate and gypsum (calcium sulfate), and aluminum sulfate. Or the combined use of gypsum and mirabilite.
Examples of the gypsum include anhydrous gypsum, hemihydrate gypsum, dihydrate gypsum, or a mixture thereof.
Moreover, slaked lime is mentioned as a material which can be mix | blended as needed. The slaked lime is added for strength enhancement.

The fineness of these sulfates and slaked lime is not particularly limited, but is preferably 3000 cm ² / g or more.
In view of strength development and cost, a fineness of 4000 to 10000 cm ² / g is more preferable.

C ₁₂ A ₇ or C _{11 A 7} · _CaX 2 produced in a reducing atmosphere is steeper rigid clinker powder of the present invention of the present invention _(X is a halogen) clinker powder is added as needed also sulfates, The ratios of slaked lime are 70 to 90% by mass, 10 to 30% by mass, and 0 to 1% by mass, respectively.
From the standpoint of ensuring rapid hardening and handling time, 79 to 84% by mass of C ₁₂ A ₇ or C ₁₁ A ₇ · CaX ₂ (X represents halogen) clinker powder after firing in the above reducing atmosphere, and 15 to 15% of sulfate. It is desirable that -20 mass% and slaked lime are 0-1 mass%.

In the above ratio, the _C 12 _{A 7} or _{C 11 A 7 · CaX 2 (} X is a halogen) in the powder is less than 70 wt%, rapid hardening is reduced more than 90% by mass Madokayui to handling time Cannot be ensured, both of which are undesirable.
On the other hand, if the sulfate content is less than 10% by mass, it is difficult to secure a handling time due to instantaneous setting, and if it exceeds 30% by mass, the rapid hardening becomes small, which is not preferable.

The _C 12 _{A 7} or _{C 11 A 7 · CaX 2 (} X is a halogen) clinker powder, sulfate, method of mixing slaked lime is not particularly limited, after mixing the ratio of the numerical ranges described above What is necessary is just to mix using a conventional mixing apparatus.

  In addition, the cement composition of the present invention includes a set retarder (lignin sulfonic acid, oxycarboxylic acid, various organic acids such as saccharides, alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts of organic acids) and water reducing agents. (Alkyl allyl sulfonic acid type, naphthalene sulfonic acid type, melamine sulfonic acid type, polycarboxylic acid type, AE water reducing agent, high performance water reducing agent, high performance AE water reducing agent are also included), etc. Fine aggregates (river sand, sea sand, mountain sand, crushed sand and mixtures thereof), coarse aggregates (river gravel, sea gravel, crushed stones and mixtures thereof) and the like can be blended.

Mortar and concrete can be produced by blending water into the cement composition using these raw materials, and the method for producing these mortar and concrete is not particularly limited, and the raw material is obtained using a conventional mixer. Mix it.
These mortars and concretes can be applied to, for example, a wet spraying method, and a conventional apparatus can be used as it is as a spraying apparatus.
