Concrete requirements for stone powder content in sand

Stone powder refers to particles less than 75μm in artificial sand and mixed sand. Most of the stone powder in artificial sand is fine particles of broken parent rock. Unlike mud in natural sand, their role in concrete is also very different. On the one hand, high stone powder content increases the specific surface area of ​​sand and increases water consumption; on the other hand, the ball effect produced by fine spherical particles will improve the workability of concrete. Therefore, stone powder in artificial sand cannot be regarded as a harmful substance.


The comprehensive impact of stone powder content on artificial sand has been proved by decades of experiments: Guizhou Province began to study the use of artificial sand in the 1970s. When the stone powder content in artificial sand is 0-30%, it has little effect on the performance of concrete, has no effect on the compressive and tensile strength of medium and low-grade concrete, and has little effect on the strength of C50 grade concrete. The shrinkage is close to that of river sand. The experimental research of the Railway Science Institute also proved that the mechanical properties of concrete prepared with artificial sand are better than those of river sand concrete (under the condition that the cement dosage and the consistency of the concrete mixture are equal).

Several types of flocculation tanks

The concentrator is a continuous working concentration and clarification equipment. It is mainly used for dehydration of fine and tailings pulp in wet beneficiation operations. It is also widely used in the concentration of solid slurry in coal, steel, chemical, building materials, water sources and sewage treatment. And purification. The ordinary concentrator works reliably, has low operating costs, and can store and buffer the feedstock. However, it is based on the gravity sedimentation of the particles. The sedimentation velocity is proportional to the square of the particle diameter, which is used to treat the microparticles and has low efficiency. The high-efficiency concentrating machine mainly uses the reasonable use of flocculant and the cloth feeding method at the bottom to increase the sedimentation speed, which is one of the most important progress in the concentration technology. Different type of flocculation tanks Thickener tanks , Deep Cone Thickener, Sludge Thi...

Slove method of the clogging of trommel screen sieve

The drum screen is a simple screening device.  The trommel screen  is easy to close and collect dust, the maintenance is small, the maintenance is simple, and the service life is long. It is a device frequently used in refractory materials, coal, river sand classification, and sandstone classification. The advantage of the trommel screen is that the structure is not complicated so that the device can be quickly operated, and when the trommel has problems, people can easily solve it. But what should I do when the screen of the trommel screen is blocked? The following screen will introduce several ways to solve the phenomenon of blocking the net. The trommel screen sometimes adopts a mechanism added to the fixed frame, and then the mechanism rotates to drive the belt mounted on the belt to continuously smear the surface of the sieve hole, thereby sucking out the raw material particles blocked in the sieve hole. One of the disadvantages in practice is that it produces a lot ...
