Background
The ceramsite has excellent properties such as low density, high cylinder pressure strength, high porosity, high softening coefficient, good frost resistance, excellent alkali-resistant aggregate reaction performance and the like, and can be widely applied to the departments of building materials, gardening, food and beverage, fire-resistant heat-insulating materials, chemical industry, petroleum and the like. The fly ash ceramsite is an artificial lightweight aggregate prepared by mixing fly ash as a main raw material with a small amount of auxiliary raw materials (binder, fluxing agent, combustion improver and the like), pre-wetting and stirring, balling, preheating, baking and sintering. The composite material has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, frost resistance, earthquake resistance, good insulativity and the like, can be widely applied to concrete members, refractory casting members and building heat-insulating materials, and can also be used in the fields of garden flowers, sewage treatment and the like. Although the technology for preparing the ceramsite gradually matures and the application field is continuously expanded, the problems in industrial production still exist, such as high water absorption of the ceramsite product, high bulk density, low green pellet strength and the like.
CN107417150A discloses a light-weight high-strength high-doping-amount fly ash ceramsite and a preparation method thereof, the method comprises the steps of uniformly mixing fly ash, a plasticizer, a foaming agent, a fluxing agent and an enhancing agent in proportion, granulating, drying and calcining to obtain the light-weight high-strength fly ash ceramsite, and the method has the defects that the prepared ceramsite has high bulk density and cannot meet the requirements of low-density ceramsite on the market. CN106396634A discloses a preparation method of light high-strength fly ash ceramsite, which is characterized in that the prepared ceramsite has high water absorption rate and does not meet the standard of GB17431.1-2010 light aggregate and a test method thereof, and the light high-strength fly ash ceramsite is obtained by controlling the reasonable collocation of a pore-forming agent, a fluxing agent, a binding agent and a reinforcing agent and performing ball milling, granulation and calcination. CN203613113U discloses a high-strength light-weight fly ash ceramsite, in which holes with the same size are uniformly distributed, the distance between every two adjacent holes is equal, the diameter of each hole is 0.5mm, but the method does not disclose the properties of the ceramsite, such as cylinder pressure strength, stacking density and the like, and has little reference value for practical application.
In the prior art, although the mass of the fly ash ceramsite is reduced by optimizing the materials, so that the fly ash ceramsite has the characteristic of light weight, the cylinder pressure strength is low, the water absorption is high, and the application of the ceramsite is limited. Therefore, there is a need to develop a fly ash ceramsite with light weight, high strength, low water absorption and excellent comprehensive properties.
