Preparation and properties of water reducing agent modified solid waste based autoclaved aerated concrete
The solid waste-based autoclaved aerated concrete(AAC)was prepared by granite stone powder and yellow river superfine sand as siliceous materials,carbide slag as calcareous material,as well as polycarboxylate superplasticizer as modifier.The effects of polycarboxylate superplasticizer dosage on paste fluidity,gassing process,compressive strength,dry density,porosity and pore size distribution of AAC were investigated.The results showed that when the water reducing agent dosage increased from 0.15%to 0.30%,the initial fluidity of the paste,the rate of gassing,the amount of gassing and porosity all gradually increased,and the compressive strength and dry density of the products gradually decreased.When the water reducing agent dosage was 0.25,the paste initial fluidity was 270 mm,the air generation was 208 mL,the porosity was 82.54%,the compres-sive strength was 2.9 MPa,the dry density was 509 kg/m3,and the overall performance of AAC was optimal.When the water reducing agent dosage was larger than 0.2%,the large pores above 2 mm almost disappeared,and the porosity and the content of harmless pores in the pore wall had a more obvious effect on the compressive strength of AAC.
