Abstract

In this study, a method to inject small amount of activation agent from the outside of the pipeline to the inside wall of the pipe was newly proposed to enhance pumping efficiency of cementitious materials. The activation agent is injected into the slip-layer, which is generally formed in the vicinity of the inside wall of the pipe during pumping cementitous materials. Through the injections, it is expected to decrease viscosity of slip-layer, namely, the friction between the mateirals and the pipe. The proposed method was verified by lab-scale pumping tests with mortars having water to cement ratio of 47%. The tests were performed with two different type of activation agents(superplasticizer and anionic surfactant) and three different amount of the agents(0.14, 0.28, 0.42% of the mortar volume). The compressive strength were measured with and without injecting the activation agent, and the internal pressures of pipeline were measured. When the anionic surfactant was used, there was no change in the compressive strength. As the amount of anionic surfactant increased, the pumping pressure decreased up to 71.4% at the maximum.

이 연구에서는 시멘트계 재료의 펌프압송성능을 향상시키기 위하여 외부에서 소량의 윤활층 활성화제를 배관에 주입하는 방법을 제안하였다. 활성화제는 배관과 압송재료 사이에 형성되는 윤활층에 주입되어 윤활층의 점도, 즉, 배관과 재료 사이의 마찰을 감소시키는 역할을 한다. 제안된 방법의 검증을 위해 모르타르를 사용한 소규모 펌핑실험을 수행하였다. 물-시멘트 비 47%인 모르타르를 사용하였고, 윤활층 활성화제 종류와 활성화제의 주입량을 각각 2가지와 3가지로 달리하여 실험을 수행하였다. 윤활층 활성화제로는 고성능 감수제와 음이온 계면활성화제를 사용하였다. 윤활층 활성화제의 주입량은 모르타르 토출량의 0.14, 0.28, 0.42%이다. 윤활층 활성화제 주입 전과 후의 압축강도, 배관 내부 압력을 측정하였다. 음이온 계면활성제를 사용한 경우 압축강도의 변화가 없었으며, 배관 내부 압력 감소율이 최대 71.4%로 가장 크게 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.
