Modified starch concrete air entraining agent and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of concrete admixtures, and particularly relates to a modified starch concrete air entraining agent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The concrete air entraining agent is an additive capable of introducing a large amount of fine and uniform bubbles in the process of mixing concrete, and can obviously improve the workability of concrete mixtures and reduce the slump loss by introducing bubbles with proper size and proper amount, and improve the strength and the durability of frost resistance, permeability resistance, carbonization resistance and the like of hardened concrete. Modern concrete engineering puts higher requirements on construction performance such as water reduction rate, workability and fluidity, and application performance such as strength and durability. Under the condition that the basic components of the concrete are relatively stable, the performance of the used additives such as air entraining agents has important influence on the mixing performance and the hardening performance of the concrete. The mixing performance and microstructure of the concrete can be changed only by ten-thousandth of the cement amount of the air entraining agent in the concrete, so that the strength and durability of the concrete can be obviously improved.
The most commonly used air entraining agents for concrete are natural and synthetic air entraining agents. The natural air entraining agent mainly comprises rosin resin, triterpenoid saponin and the like, and the synthetic air entraining agent mainly comprises alkyl sodium sulfonate, alkyl sodium sulfate, sodium alkyl benzene sulfonate, fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ether and the like. The synthetic air entraining agent has the advantages of more types and good air entraining effect, and has the defects that the raw materials mainly depend on petrochemical products, the synthetic process has more steps and greater pollution, and petroleum resources face the crisis of exhaustion. At present, the preparation of concrete air entraining agents by means of the modification of biomass materials is still an important research direction, and the modified natural material air entraining agents have the advantages of renewable and environment-friendly main raw materials, green and environment-friendly preparation process, fine foam, stable foam and good compatibility with a cement system.
Starch is a natural high molecular material with huge yield, and is not only a main food on which people live but also an important chemical raw material. The chemical structure of starch is a long-chain macromolecule composed of glucose units, the structural units are also called glycosyl structures, and the structural units of starch are also important components of other natural high molecular materials. For example, the glycosyl structure is the main structural part of hydrolytic tanning in natural tannin extract, and the glycosyl structure is also the main structural part of triterpenoid saponin air entraining agent. Meanwhile, defoaming measures are adopted due to strong foamability of the product in the work of researching the modified starch for preparing other chemical materials. The starch structure unit glycosyl structure and the formed long-chain macromolecule containing a plurality of hydroxyl groups, ester bonds and glycosidic bonds are suitable for the polyether nonionic surfactant with hydroxyl groups and ether bonds, and the structure of the polyether nonionic surfactant is also lack of foam-increasing and foam-stabilizing structures such as anionic groups such as sulfonic groups and carboxyl groups.
