Description

DESCRIPTION
PRODUCTION OF RAPID HARDENING GEOPOLYMER REPAIR MATERIAL
Technical Field
This invention relates to the production of a rapid hardening repair material suitable for use in the construction industry using slags originating from blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace that are generated during iron and steel manufacturing process, and the related repair material.
Prior Art
In 2015, Iron and Steel Slag Report prepared by the Turkish Steel Producers Association; it has been stated that approximately 5.4 million tons of steelmaking slag was generated throughout Turkey in 2014, and more than half of these slags could not be utilized and consequently disposed. The blast furnace slag (BFS) is generally included in the inputs of cement and concrete production. On the other hand, basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag has been previously utilized as aggregate in pavement and as railway ballast, however its application is limited due to the expansive behavior of BOF slag.
Some rapid hardening repair mortars are known in the state of the art. The strength and setting times of such mortars are determined by standards such as ASTM Cl 600 and C928.
Objects and Brief Description of the Invention
The object of the present invention is to develop a method for producing a rapid hardening repair material by using slags originating from blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace that are generated during iron and steel manufacturing process.
Another object of the present invention is to develop a method that enables the efficient utilization of basic oxygen furnace slag, which is generally stored in waste sites and pose a serious environmental problem, blended with blast furnace slag in the production of repair materials.
According to the invention, it is possible to obtain geopolymer repair material by adding an alkali activator solution to the mixture of ground basic oxygen furnace slag and ground blast furnace slag. The repair material obtained according to the invention sets in a short time. The incorporation of basic oxygen furnace slag enhances the early age compressive strength. Basic oxygen furnace slag can be used in high proportions in the repair material and it is ensured that this waste material is used efficiently.
Detailed Description of the Invention
According to the production method of the rapid hardening repair material of the invention, basically, alkali activator solution containing sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate is added to the mixture of basic oxygen furnace and blast furnace slag.
The blast furnace slag content varies depending on the ore, fuel and flux content and the details of the process. As a result of the reduction of iron oxides in the ore content, this slag is rich in oxides of mainly flux-derived elements such as silica, calcium oxide and aluminum oxide.
The basic oxygen furnace slag content also varies depending on the loaded iron and flux content and the details of the pretreatment and oxidation processes. As a result of the oxidation of some of the iron together with the undesirable substances in the loaded iron, this slag contains miscellaneous metal oxides, especially miscellaneous iron(III) oxide, as well as flux-derived calcium oxide. The basic oxygen furnace slag used to realize the invention should preferably be weathered in the atmospheric conditions.
The production method of rapid hardening repair material of the invention includes the steps of
- preparing a slag mixture by mixing blast furnace slag with basic oxygen furnace slag,
- preparing an aqueous activator solution containing sodium hydroxide in molarity between 4 and 8 M and sodium silicate with a silica modulus between 0.8 and 1.4,
- mixing the solution with the slag mixture.
The slag mixture contains 20 to 80 percent of basic oxygen furnace slag by weight.
The slag mixture and the activator solution are mixed such that the ratio of the activator solution is between 0.30 and 0.40 by weight. In an embodiment of the invention, fine aggregate can also be added to the mixture of slag mixture and activator solution. Fine aggregate is added at a ratio of 10 to 60 percent by weight.
Depending on the particle sizes of the slags to be used, the step of grinding at least one of the blast furnace slag and basic oxygen furnace slag can also be applied before the step of preparing the slag mixture. The fineness of the basic oxygen furnace slag positively affects the reactivity of this material in the repair material and its contribution to the mechanical properties. The diameter of 50% of the basic oxygen furnace slag particles may be smaller than a value between 10 and 60 pm. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, blast furnace slag with a Blaine specific surface area of 5000±500 cm2/g and basic oxygen furnace slag with a maximum particle size of less than 200 pm and 50% of the particles with a size of less than the value between 10 and 50 pm are used.
Before preparing the slag mixture, the step of drying at least one of the blast furnace slag and basic oxygen furnace slag can also be applied. This step can be applied in the cases where stored slags, especially basic oxygen furnace slags, need to be dehumidified.
Natural sand and/or crushed sand can be used as fine aggregate in the range of 0 to 5 mm.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the slags whose chemical compositions are given in Table 1 are used.

With the invention, a repair material that sets and gains strength in a short time can be produced by adding alkali activator solution to the mixture of basic oxygen furnace and blast furnace slag. The repair material obtained with the invention at least meets the requirements of GRH (general rapid hardening) class according to ASTM Cl 600 standard and R2 class according to ASTM C928 standard in terms of strength.
The invention enables to obtain a repair material that sets quickly and gains high compressive strength in a short time by using basic oxygen furnace slag and blast furnace slag, which are industrial wastes.
The invention also allows for efficient utilization of basic oxygen furnace slag. The comparison of the rapid hardening repair material according to the invention with some repair mortars known in the art is also presented in Table 2 together with the relevant standards.
