[0023]
Hereinafter, in accordance with the following properties listed fluidity lowering agent according to the present invention will be described the fluidity reducing agent.
(1) the instantaneous resistance
(2) working simplicity
(3) general purpose
(4) low volume increase rate
[0024]
(1) the moment of
the conventional approach is the approach solidified due to the chemical reaction of hydration, etc. around the cement solidifying material, reaction time, i.e. requires "curing period". On the other hand, the fluidity reducing agent according to the present invention, a physical liquid absorption is primarily mechanism, it does not require reaction times. As a result, such high water ratios sludge, it is possible to shorten the time to reach the completion of processing from the occurrence of a high solid-liquid mixture flowable (completion of low flow mixture).
[0025]
Granules constituting the fluidity reducing agent according to the present invention has a fiber entangled structure, as shown in the Examples, the structure exhibits a flocculent. The cotton-like structure will have many voids with a communicability, the flowable reducing agent is added to the high solid-liquid mixture of liquid content ratio, such as sludge, fine particles constituting the water or sludge to the gap from entering in time, the internal pressure is less likely to work. As a result, the air meets the air gap, the replacement of water and fine particles occurs rapidly. In this way, water or fine particles, the air meets the communication of voids in the cotton-like structure of the flowable reducing agent turned into tiny air (bubbles), with these air physically constrained communicability void It is.
[0026]
Solid-liquid mixture, such as high water ratio had a liquid sludge, in this way, it is constrained freedom of movement by the fiber structure, the addition and stirring of the flowable lowering agent (the fluidity reducing agent after dispersion) of the solid-liquid mixture, the plastic is brought immediately. Incidentally, the subject of the fibers constituting the fluidity reducing agent is a hydrophilic polymer such as cellulose, if the liquid phase of the solid-liquid mixture comprising water, since the hydrophilic polymer having many hydrophilic groups in the molecular side chains acts electrical attraction between the fibers constituting the water molecule and voids contribute to out to continue difficulty of water entering the communicability gap (binding).
[0027]
Further, the granulate constituting the fluidity-lowering agent, in one embodiment, an average particle size of less and a minimum 300 [mu] m. This was added to the flowable reducing agent to the solid-liquid mixture, which contributes to the dispersion of the height of the flowable reducing agent in performing the stirring, together with the physical constraints mechanism, at the moment of It has contributed. From the viewpoint of the dispersibility, the average particle diameter is preferably 250μm or less, more preferably 200μm or less. The lower limit of the average particle diameter is not particularly limited, typically 3μm or more and more typically 50μm or more.
[0028]
On the other hand, a BET specific surface area of particulate material constituting the fluidity-lowering agent, 0.25 m 2 / g or more 100 m 2 at / g or less. Fiber itself constituting the fluidity reducing agent also has the fine voids, (BET specific surface area: approximately 500m silica gel used in the hygroscopic material or the like 2 / g) and activated carbon used for the adsorption or the like (specific surface area by the BET method: about 1000 m 2 / g) as compared to, small BET specific surface area. Silica gel or activated carbon to have a gap (pore) countless angstrom order in the material, the granules, the particle constituent fibers themselves, not have much pores of angstrom order it means that. The adsorption performance of the gas, while the pores is greatly influenced, in the case of liquid-absorbing, particularly a short time, when considering the modest effect of the pores, the measurement of the specific surface area of the flowable lowering agent the value is to support the liquid absorbing principle moments of the physical restraint mechanism as a main principle according communicability voids by entanglement of fibers constituting the fluidity reducing agent.
[0029]
BET specific surface area of the particle constituting the fluidity reducing agent, from the viewpoint of liquid absorbing performance due to the fluidity reducing agent, preferably 0.25 m 2 / g or more 100 m 2 / g or less, more preferably 0 .5M 2 / g or more 10 m 2 / g or less, still more preferably 0.75 m 2 / g or more 5 m 2 / g or less, particularly more preferably 1 m 2 / g or more 2m 2 or less / g.
[0030]
(2) working simplicity
fluidity lowering agent according to the present invention, the liquid absorbing due to physical constraints, such as described above, since it is led to plastic to solid-liquid mixture having a liquid, the work required for the processing , i.e., only stirred and added to the solid-liquid mixture of the flowable lowering agent. Thus, the addition or more drugs, the order of addition with a plurality of drug addition, without requiring the amount of complex procedures and work-Considerations such balance and the like, the work is made simple, which can be anyone.
[0031]
Also, in the case of physical restraint mechanism, it is not necessary to examine the chemical composition of the solid-liquid mixture is an improvement target advance, because it can see the effect immediately by the addition and stirring, for such liquid content ratio of time to measure also, it is not necessary to investigate before working, it is possible to sample the solid-liquid mixture in situ, was added and stirring portionwise the flowable lowering agents, to determine easily the addition ratio which exhibits plasticity of interest .
[0032]
(3) versatility
fluidity lowering agent according to the present invention, the liquid absorbing due to physical constraints, such as described above, since it is led to plastic to solid-liquid mixture having a liquid, solid-liquid is an improvement target chemical composition of the mixture can be used regardless of the. For example, the solid phase of the solid-liquid mixture, be an inorganic substance or an organic substance. The liquid phase of the solid-liquid mixture, in water may be an organic solvent may be a solution. For the solution, e.g., concentration of solutes or ions such as electrolyte, any kind, and the like.
[0033]
(4) low volume increase
granules constituting the fluidity reducing agent according to the present invention, as described above, having a void. This gap, the flowable lowering agent communicability voids by entanglement of fibers constituting the fine voids having the fiber itself, is inter-particle voids. Granules constituting the fluidity reducing agent according to the present invention, in one embodiment, (1-bulk density / true density) porosity calculated by × 100 is 50% or more. The porosity, from the viewpoint of liquid absorbing performance due to the fluidity reducing agent, preferably 60% or more, more preferably 70% or more, even more preferably 80% or more, particularly preferably 85% or more. The upper limit of the porosity, from the viewpoint of the strength of the flowable reducing agent, preferably 95% or less, more preferably 93% is less, still more preferably 91%, particularly preferably at most 89%.
[0034]
In the present specification, the bulk density, fluidity reducing agent, filled in a container of a volume, in particular without applying a load from above, and the internal volume of the granules that constitute the fluidizing lowering agent filled it is those calculated by the weight.
[0035]
Here, in Example 2, for example, corn moisture content 48% by weight of the mud, which is one of the quality class to be defined in the "Construction Sludge treated soil available technical standards," "fourth type processing soil" has index 200 kN / m 2 when improving or more, 1 m 3 has been shown that it is necessary to add fluidity lowering agents 25kg per. True density of 1.9 g / cm of granules constituting the fluidity reducing agent used in Example 2 3 volumes of considering that the particulate matter constitutes an added fluidity reducing agent in Example 2 is, 25 × 1000 / (1.9 × 100 × 100 × 100) ≒ 0.013 m 3 is. That is, the volume increase rate by component fibers or the like after addition of fluidity reducing agent in Example 2 can be calculated as about 1%. The volume increase rate is solidified methods involving hydrate formation due to hydration reaction of cement solidifying material such as, in comparison with the plasticized approach high polymer system that expands by incorporating water into the molecule, the volume rate of increase is very small.
[0036]
Moreover, the physical constraints of the communication of the gap formed by the entanglement of the fibers constituting the granules, while having a certain water retention, water that has been constrained by Serudoron is by physical outreach by compression or the like, extruding It is possible. Thus, for example, while improving the handling property in carrying out such construction sludge, by achieving physical dehydration such as compression, since it becomes possible to easily perform volume reduction and weight of the sludge, high temperature firing compared to the conventional volume reduction method and lightweight methods in the furnace or the like, it is possible to achieve a volume reduction and weight reduction at low cost.
[0037]
(5) low environmental impact of
the fibers constituting the fluidity reducing agent according to the present invention is a case containing cellulose, explaining the low environmental load resistance. Cellulose, which is decomposed by the cellulase, to be degraded by fungi or the like present in the soil, over the flowable lowering agent time added to the environment, go back to the original soil. Moreover, the biodegradability, the addition of enzymes such as cellulase, makes it possible to solve physically constrained water and fine particles and the like from the restraint by the flowable lowering agents. Further, pH of the flowable reducing agent is a neutral zone (pH 8 before and after), pH of the soil after the addition of the flowable lowering agent from staying in the neutral region, a small impact on the agricultural and surrounding vegetation.
[0038]
[Method for low flow Mixture

The upper limit of the amount is not particularly limited, from such a point that tends to suppress the increase in volume, with respect to the solid-liquid mixture 100 parts by weight, for example, 50 parts by weight or less, preferably not more than 30 parts by weight, more preferably 20 parts by weight or less, still more preferably not more than 15 parts by weight.
[0039]

Note that the mounting target volume of low flow mixture to the vessel, may be a variable value set to each use, or determined constant in terms of safety for each container, or of each container it may be a fixed value such as the maximum volume.
[0041]
Further, since the volume increase after mixing is suppressed, the volume total of the amount of the solid-liquid mixture and fluidity reducing agent, to mount the target volume of the low flow mixture to the vessel, there in 101% by volume or more at best, preferably 102% by volume or more, 103% by volume or more, 108% by volume or more, 110% by volume or more and 115% by volume or more. On the other hand, the volume sum of above, for example, may be less than 200% by volume with respect to mounting the target volume of the low flow mixture to the vessel, in particular 190% by volume or less, 175 volume% or less, 150 volume% or less, 140 volume% or less, 130 volume% or less, may be 120% by volume or less. The amount described above is preferable in view of efficiency of the manufacturing process of the low flow mixture with one vessel, the present invention, the solid-liquid mixture and the volume total of the amount of the fluidity reducing agent is mounted target volume 101 may be an amount of volume percent.
[0042]

The mixing in space of the closed space or constant volume, as compared to mixing in the release space, generally difficult or sufficient mixing to poor operability, a confirmation that the mixing is sufficiently performed difficult there are problems or, instantaneous property in the present invention, the working simplicity, since use of the fluidity lowering agent is excellent in versatility, it is also possible to solve the problems described above. From the same viewpoint, the mixing may be performed using a container on granule truck. Incidentally, the space enclosed spaces or constant volume only needs to be closed or volume kept constant during mixing encompasses space reversibly release or a variable volume container capable. It is also possible to use a container having a release space in the present invention.

[0061]
2. Analytical Methods
(1) ig-Loss
magnetic crucible to the fluidity reducing agent about 8g weighed accurately to 1/100 g, was heated at about 2 hours placed in an electric furnace up to 1,000 ° C., and held for 1 hour. Then removed magnetic crucible gradually cooled in the furnace to around 100 ° C. from the furnace and placed in a desiccator. Allowed to cool to room temperature, it was quickly weighed. Because the flowable lowering agent that is expected loss is large, the measurement was performed three times. The ignition loss was calculated by the following equation.
Ignition loss = (before heating weight - weight after heating) / before heating Weight
[0062]

In the figure, "TEMP" and displayed line indicates the heating temperature, the displayed line weight change as "TG" (TG curve) indicates, "DTA" and displayed lines exothermic endothermic (DTA curve) It is shown. Incidentally, FIG. 3 (b) is obtained by changing the drawing scale of the DTA curve in FIG. 3 (a).
[0067]
(3) XRD
The results are shown in FIG.
[0068]
4. Discussion
(1) ig-Loss
3 times measurements have little variation, ig-Loss was about 74%. Organic components by the strong heat in combustion or lost, believed filler and other inorganic contaminants remained as ash. The details will be discussed in the next TG-DTA and XRD.
[0069]
[Table 4]
[0070]
(2) TG-DTA
there is gradual endothermic peak at room temperature ~ 100 ° C., the TG curve at the same temperature is lowered slightly (and weight loss), the water adsorbed on the fluidity reducing agent is evaporated It is shown that. Reading from the measured value, the weight ratio of the adsorbed water fluidity lowering agent had was about 3%.
[0071]
Then, a large exothermic peak was observed in DTA curve when heated to 250 ~ 350 ° C., it is understood that the weight loss decreases larger TG curve at the same temperature. This cellulose is burned, decomposed into water vapor and carbon dioxide means that are released into the atmosphere (heat generation amount is too large, the heating control becomes ineffective, "TEMP" and displayed line is also increased doing.). Weight loss at this time was about 49%.
[0072]
When the combustion of the cellulose is finished, it appeared little gentle exothermic peak 350 ~ 570 ° C.. Heating at this temperature, the inferred from would fluidity lowering agent contains substances, lignin, ink carbon, or the possibility of unburned carbon remaining during combustion in the 300 ~ 350 ° C.. Wood fibers, in addition to cellulose, but contains a large amount of hemicellulose and lignin, lignin from being removed as much as possible in the papermaking process to become discolored has viscosity, the content is very small. Therefore, considered that the combustion of unburned carbon and / or printed carbon of the cellulose. Weight loss at this point was about 7% from the measured value.
[0073]
Appeared gentle endothermic peak at 700 ℃ ~ 800 ℃, it is reduced even weight at the same temperature. This is what captures the phenomenon carbonate force calcium fillers contained in the fluidity reducing agent is decarboxylation. Reduction of the decarboxylation was about 12%.
[0074]
Incidentally, a variety of purposes in the papermaking process, fillers are used. Generally as filler employed, calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), kaolin (Al 4 Si 4 O 10 (OH) 8 ), talc (Mg 3 Si 4 O 10 (OH) 2 ), and the like. Possibility that also contains filler other than calcium carbonate to the fluidity reducing agent is high. Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate (Scheme: CaCO 3 + [Delta] H → CaO + CO 2 , [Delta] H is the amount of heat) is at 700 ° C. or more, the weight loss (theoretical 44%) often, depending clearly detectable (literature, thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate, reports and that occurs from around 600 ° C., there is also data that occurs at 900 ° C. vicinity, in the present measurement conditions is 700 ~ 800 ℃.). Meanwhile, since the thermal decomposition of kaolin and talc (these dehydration of crystal water) temperature is broadly in 350 ~ 650 ° C., and the weight loss is small 10 to 14% since overlapping the combustion reaction of the cellulose, the TG-DTA is difficult to detect.
[0075]
In summary, as shown in Table 5.
[Table 5]
[0076]
Weight Loss sum obtained by TG-DTA (heating to 950 ° C.) is 72.12%, substantially coincides with 73.72 percent loss on ignition (heating to 1000 ° C.) of (1). The content of cellulose contained in the flowable lowering agent, was approximately 48-56%.
[0077]
Note that the flowable lowering agent, JIS P 8251: weight loss at a defined ashing temperature 575 ° C. to 2002 was 61.84% (however, also includes decrease amount of adsorbed water on the value .).
[0078]
(3) XRD
The XRD patterns shown in Figure 4, the ash, calcium oxide (CaO), gehlenite (Ca 2 Al (AlSi) O 7 ), magnetite (iron oxide Fe 2 0 3 ), calcium hydroxide (Ca ( OH) 2 ) it seems to have been included. Extrapolating from the height of the detected peak, the amount contained in the ash is calcium oxide> gehlenite >> magnetite> calcium hydroxide.
[0079]
Calcium oxide is a calcium carbonate filler was produced by decarboxylation from ignition material contained most in the ash. Incidentally, trace detected calcium hydroxide are those calcium oxide in the sample has reacted with moisture in the air during the measurement. Then, it was included gehlenite of clay-based filler such as kaolin appears to have generated by dehydration and recrystallization. The main component of the ash content in this two, it can be seen that due to the filler.
[0080]
In addition, although there is a small amount, magnetite can also be seen. This stapler, wear of the pulverization blade, may be due to ink components and the like.
