The invention discloses modified
magnesium phosphate cement and a preparing method thereof and relates to the field of building materials. The modified
magnesium phosphate cement comprises main components and auxiliary components. The main components are 70-85% of
magnesium phosphate cement, 5-10% of
gypsum and 10-20% of
coal ash. The auxiliary components are etherification
alcohol modifier,
retarder and water-retaining agent, wherein the ratio of the
mass of the etherification
alcohol modifier to the sum of
mass of the main components is 1-5%, the ratio of the
mass of the
retarder to the sum of mass of the main components is 2-5%, and the ratio of the mass of the water-retaining agent to the sum of mass of the main components is 1-3%. The preparing method comprises the steps of weighing,
grinding and mixing. Through
surface modification conducted by means of the etherification
alcohol modifier, the number of active sites on the surfaces of
magnesium phosphate particles is increased, adsorbability of the
retarder is improved, interdiffusion of effective ions is slowed, and
reaction rate is reduced; meanwhile, under the combined action of the retarder and the water-retaining agent, the performance of the
magnesium phosphate cement is well improved. The
setting time of the obtained cement is prolonged greatly, the defects of
magnesium phosphate cement that early strength enhance rate is high and long-term strength enhance rate is low are overcome, and delayed
coagulation time and strength development are both considered fundamentally.
