Effects of Dosing and Mechanical Activation on the Performance of Reservoir Sediment-Cement Composite Cementitious Material

Abstract

To solve the problem of reservoir sediment accumulation, this paper intends to study the feasibility of preparing reservoir sediment-cement composite cementitious material by partially replacing cement with reservoir sediment. Using the single factor test method, the replacement rate of reservoir sediment and mechanical activation time were selected as variables to explore the effects of water requirement of normal consistency, setting time, mortar fluidity, and mechanical properties of mortar specimens. The results show that with the increase of sediment replacement rate, the water requirement of normal consistency of composite cementitious material paste increases, the setting time increases, the fluidity of mortar decreases, and the mechanical properties of mortar specimens decrease significantly. With the increase of mechanical activation time, the water requirement of normal consistency decreases, the setting time decreases, the fluidity of mortar increases, and the mechanical properties of the mortar specimen increase. The microcosmic results show that mechanical activation can promote the formation of C-S-H gel in reservoir sediment, and fill each other with unreacted reservoir sediment particles, resulting in a denser microstructure. The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical support for the preparation of reservoir mud-cement composite cementitious material.
