Abstract
In the marine environment, sulfate ions and chloride ions are abundant. Therefore, sulfate attack and chloride ion attack are common failure forms of marine concrete. Mg–Al hydrotalcite is a layered bimetallic hydroxide, which can be used as guest molecular adsorbent. In this experiment, we synthesized Mg–Al hydrotalcite, and the crystal state, surface morphology, and composition of this adsorbent were investigated by modern micro-analysis technology. Mg–Al hydrotalcite was added into the prepared target ion solution, to explore the influence of various factors on the adsorption performance of Mg–Al hydrotalcite, and then calcined Mg–Al hydrotalcite was added into cement paste, to study the mechanical properties and durability of the paste samples. The experimental results show that the optimum conditions for adsorption of chloride ions by calcined Mg–Al hydrotalcite are an adsorption time of 4 h, temperature of 35 °C, LDO (calcined Mg-Al hydrotalcite) dosage of 3.5 g/L, and a pH of 8. The adsorption effect of sulfate ion is best when the adsorption time is 6 h, the temperature is 35 °C, the dosage of LDO is 4 g/L, and the pH = 8. The optimal adsorption conditions of calcined Mg–Al hydrotalcite for chloride ion and sulfate ion are not completely the same, and the adsorption of these two ions in mixed solution shows competitive adsorption. Compared with the common paste specimens without Mg–Al hydrotalcite, the mechanical properties and deformation properties of cement specimens can be significantly improved by adding Mg–Al hydrotalcite.
