powder and steel slag powder are widely used as supplementary cementitious materials in modern concrete.However,for UHPC and self-compacting concrete,an extremely low water/binder(W/B)ratio is on one hand a key factor in achieving ultra-high strength and ultra-low porosity of the materials,on the other hand,also leads to the deterioration of the rheological properties of the fresh paste.Meanwhile,the existing researches focus on the influence of single limestone powder or steel slag powder on the mechanical properties or microstructure of cement-based materials.Little work on the influence of steel slag powder or limestone powder on the rheological properties of composite paste at an extremely low water/binder ratio has been investigated quantitatively.The mechanism of the effect of steel slag powder or limestone powder on the rheological properties of composite paste at extremely low water/binder ratios is still unclear.In this work,the effects of steel slag powder and limestone powder on the rheological properties of composite paste at different low water/binder ratios were analyzed via determining the flow diameter,setting time,marsh cone flow time,rheological parameters,and total organic carbon content.Methods A composite paste was prepared with P.I 42.5 ordinary Portland cement,steel slag powder,limestone powder,blast furnace slag and silica fume as raw materials in a certain proportion.To achieve the preparation of composite paste with extremely low water/binder ratios,a polycarboxylate superplasticizer with a water/reducing rate of 40%(Jiangsu Subot New Materials Co.,Ltd.,China)was used.The dosage of polycarboxylate superplasticizer for the composite paste with different water/binder ratios of 0.16 and 0.21 was 2%and 0.8%,respectively.Composite pastes with different proportions of steel slag powder or limestone powder at water/binder ratios of 0.16 and 0.21 were prepared.The flow diameter(i.e.,the larger the flow diameter,the better the fluidity),setting time(i.e.,the time when the fluidity is lost)and marsh cone flow time(i.e.,the shorter the flow time,the better the fluidity)were determined to analyze the fluidity of the composite pastes.the rheological properties of composite paste at a water/binder ratio of 0.16 for rheological properties tests were determined,and the rheological parameters were obtained by the H-B model.The adsorption performance of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer was analyzed by testing the TOC content.Results and discussion When the ratio of water/binder is 0.16,both limestone powder and steel slag powder initially increase the flow diameter of the composite paste.However,the fluidity of the composite paste decreases over time,and the reduction is more pronounced with steel slag powder.This is because the nucleation and hydration promotion effect of limestone powder can reduce the loss rate of flow diameter,while the rough particles of steel slag powder increase the internal friction force,resulting in a decrease in the flow diameter of composite paste.Adding limestone powder and steel slag powder both shortens the setting time and marsh cone flow time of the composite paste.However,the steel slag powder addition of 30%delays the final setting time due to its delaying effect.Also,limestone powder can enhance the thixotropy and reduce the yield stress and plastic viscosity,thereby improving the rheological properties.In contrast,steel slag powder can increase the yield stress and plastic viscosity,thereby weakening the rheological properties and thixotropy.Steel slag powder and limestone powder both can enhance the adsorption effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizer.Steel slag powder has a stronger adsorption effect.The composite paste containing limestone powder has a higher free water content.This is because the rough and porous surface of steel slag itself and the uneven particle shape lead to the physical adsorption of polycarboxylate superplasticizer molecules on the surface of steel slag particles,thereby reducing the effective content of the water reducer dispersion.Increasing the water/binder ratio to 0.21 results in a decrease in the flow diameter of the composite paste.Furthermore,the setting time and marsh cone flow time can prolong due to the reduction in the dosage of polycarboxylate superplasticizer.Conclusions The results showed that the fluidity loss rate of composite paste with limestone powder could be lower than that of composite paste with steel slag powder.Compared to steel slag powder,the addition of limestone powder reduced the setting time and marsh cone flow time of the composite paste.The addition of limestone powder could shorten the yield stress and plastic viscosity of the composite paste.Therefore,the composite paste with limestone powder had better rheological properties and stronger thixotropy rather than that with steel slag powder.The addition of limestone powder could improve the rheological properties of the composite paste.Compared to composite paste with limestone powder,a better adsorption effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizer on the surface of the composite binder with steel slag powder could be obtained.The free water content of the composite paste with limestone powder was still higher than that of the composite paste with steel slag powder.The fluidity and rheological properties of the composite paste with limestone powder could be better.The comprehensive analysis indicated that a positive effect of limestone powder on rheological properties of composite paste at an extremely low water/binder ratio could be more dominant than that of steel slag powder.展开更多

文摘The multi-objective optimization of backfill effect based on response surface methodology and desirability function(RSM-DF)was conducted.Firstly,the test results show that the uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)increases with cement sand ratio(CSR),slurry concentration(SC),and curing age(CA),while flow resistance(FR)increases with SC and backfill flow rate(BFR),and decreases with CSR.Then the regression models of UCS and FR as response values were established through RSM.Multi-factor interaction found that CSR-CA impacted UCS most,while SC-BFR impacted FR most.By introducing the desirability function,the optimal backfill parameters were obtained based on RSM-DF(CSR is 1:6.25,SC is 69%,CA is 11.5 d,and BFR is 90 m^(3)/h),showing close results of Design Expert and high reliability for optimization.For a copper mine in China,RSM-DF optimization will reduce cement consumption by 4758 t per year,increase tailings consumption by about 6700 t,and reduce CO_(2)emission by about 4758 t.Thus,RSM-DF provides a new approach for backfill parameters optimization,which has important theoretical and practical values.

文摘This article investigated the factors and mechanisms that affected the workability and mechanical properties of cement paste incorporating nano-TiO_(2).The findings indicated that,for nano-TiO_(2)aqueous solution concentrations of 3%,6%,9%,and 12%,the optimal dispersion effect was achieved with an ultrasonic dispersion time of 20 minutes.Specifically,at a 6%nano-TiO_(2)content,both the workability and mechanical performance of the cement paste were enhanced.Furthermore,while nano-TiO_(2)did not alter the types of hydration products present in the cement paste,it did increase the amount of C-S-H gels.This enhancement was attributed to a higher number of nucleation sites for hydration products,which promoted hydration and reduced the porosity of the cement paste.

文摘The issue of top contact in paste backfill materials is a common technical challenge in coal mine filling processes,and overcoming this problem has become a significant research direction in current studies and engineering practices.This paper utilizes coal gangue as aggregate and hydrogen peroxide as a foaming agent to prepare foamed paste backfill materials.Three close-packing theories were employed to investigate the effects of different coal gangue particle gradations on the mechanical properties,expansion ratio,water absorption,and dry density of foamed paste backfill materials under the same foaming agent content.The hydration mechanism and pore structure evolution were analyzed using XRD,SEM,and OSM techniques.The results indicate that when the hydrogen peroxide addition is 5%,the foamed paste backfill material regulated by MAA gradation theory exhibits the best comprehensive performance,achieving a 28-day compressive strength of 0.89 MPa,an expansion ratio of 155.5%,and a dry density of 1.24 g/cm^(3).The regulation of coal gangue aggregate particle gradation not only improves the foaming efficiency but also allows the formation of CH to fill the material pores,enhancing the overall structural support capacity and forming a closer microstructure.This research provides new insights into controlling the properties of foamed paste backfill materials.

文摘With the growing demand for sustainable development in the mining industry,cemented paste backfill(CPB)materials,primarily composed of tailings,play a crucial role in mine backfilling and underground support systems.To enhance the mechanical properties of CPB materials,fiber reinforcement technology has gradually gained attention,though challenges remain in predicting its performance.This study develops a hybrid model based on the adaptive equilibrium optimizer(adap-EO)-enhanced XGBoost method for accurately predicting the uniaxial compressive strength of fiber-reinforced CPB.Through systematic comparison with various other machine learning methods,results demonstrate that the proposed hybridmodel exhibits excellent predictive performance on the test set,achieving a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 0.9675,root mean square error(RMSE)of 0.6084,and mean absolute error(MAE)of 0.4620.Input importance analysis reveals that cement-tailings ratio,curing time,and concentration are the three most critical factors affectingmaterial strength,with cement-tailings ratio showing a positive correlation with strength,concentrations above 70% significantly improvingmaterial strength,and curing periods beyond 28 days being essential for strength development.Fiber parameters contribute secondarily but notably to material strength,with fiber length exhibiting an optimal range of approximately 12 mm.This study not only provides a high-precision strength prediction model but also reveals the inherent correlations between various parameters and material performance,offering scientific basis for mixture optimization and engineering applications of fiber-reinforced CPB materials.

文摘Electronic 3D printing possesses a remarkable molding ability and convenience in integrated circuits,flexible wearables,and individual automobile requirements.However,traditional 3D printing technology still struggles to meet the demands of high precision and high efficiency in the process of fabricating a curved surface circuit,particularly achieving precise silver circuit molding on irregular substrates.Here,a high-precision and muti-scaled conformal manufacturing method for silver circuits is presented through the digital light processing(DLP)of ultraviolet-curable silver paste(UV-SP)with adjustable photocuring properties,enabling the successful preparation of micro-scaled conductive structure on the sharply skewed hook face.The minimum modeling depth and width of the cured silver paste can be well controlled to 10 and 88µm,respectively.Compared with traditional printing technology,the printing efficiency of complex patterns has increased by over 70%.The printed silver circuit demonstrates an exceptionally high electrical conductivity,reaching as high as 1.16×10^(7) S/m.Additionally,the UV-SP exhibits significant manufacturing efficiency and superior molding resolution compared to conventional direct ink writing and inkjet printing techniques,thereby contributing to the attainment of high precision and efficiency of conformal and micro-molding manufacturing in sensors,communication antennas,and other electronic devices based on curved substrates.

文摘The stability of the“surrounding rock-backfill”com posite system is crucial for the safety of mining stopes.This study systematically investigates the effects of steel slag(SS)content and interface angle on the strength and failure characteristics of rock and SS-cemented paste backfill composite specimens(RBCS)through uniaxial compression strength tests(UCS),acoustic emission systems(AE),and 3 D digital image correlation monitoring technology(3 D-DIC).The intrinsic mechanism by which SS content influences the strength of SS-CPB was revealed through an analysis of its hydration reaction degree and microstructural characteristics under varying SS content.Moreover,a theoretical strength model incorporating different interface angles was developed to explore the impact of interface inclination on failure modes and mechanical strength.The main conclusions are as follows:The incorporation of SS enhances the plastic characteristics of RBCS and reduces its brittleness,with the increase of SS content,the stress-strain curve of RBCS in the“staircase-like”stag e becomes smoother;When the interface angle is 45°,the RBCS stress-strain curve exhibits a bimodal feature,and the failure mode changes from Y-shaped fractures to interface and axial splitting;The addition of SS results in a reduction of hydration products such as Ca(OH)_(2) in the backfill cementing system and an increase in harmful pores,which weakens the bonding performance and strength of RBCS,and the SS content should not exceed 45%;As the interface angle increases,the strength of RBCS decreases,and the critical interface slip angle decreases first and then increases with the increase in the E S/E R ratio.This study provides technical references for the large-scale application of SS in mine backfill.

文摘Using solid waste as a substitute for conventional cement has become an important way to reduce carbon emissions.This paper attempted to utilize steel slag(SS)and fly ash(FA)as supplementary cementitious material by utilizing CO_(2)mineralization curing technology.This study examined the dominant and interactive influences of the residual water/cement ratio,CO_(2)pressure,curing time,and SS content on the mechanical properties and CO_(2)uptake rate of CO_(2)mineralization curing SS-FA-Portland cement ternary paste specimens.Additionally,microstructural development was analyzed.The findings demonstrated that each factor significantly affected compressive strength and CO_(2)uptake rate,with factor interactions becoming more pronounced at higher SS dosages(>30%),lower residual water/cement ratios(0.1-0.15),and CO_(2)pressures of 0.1-0.3 MPa.Microscopic examinations revealed that mineralization primarily yielded CaCO_(3)and silica gel.The residual w/c ratio and SS content significantly influenced the CaCO_(3)content and crystallinity of the mineralization products.Post-mineralization curing,the percentage of pores larger than 50 nm significantly decreased,the proportion of harmless pores smaller than 20 nm increased,and pore structure improved.This study also found that using CO_(2)mineralization curing SS-FA-Portland cement solid waste concrete can significantly reduce the negative impact on the environment.
