Hemp concrete is a well-known bio-based building material, but due to its relatively low compressive strength is mainly used as an insulation material with a load-bearing wooden frame. There are possibilities to expand hemp concrete application in construction by substituting traditional lime with magnesium cement. Magnesium oxychloride cement is a material already known for some time and nowadays used in building board production. Strength, lightweight, ease of use are advantages that highlight relatively new magnesium oxychloride type boards compared to traditional sheeting materials such as plywood, gypsum plasterboard and fibre-cement board. Therefore, similar parameters are thought to be reached by producing magnesium oxychloride hemp board. In this work, magnesium cement water resistance was studied and possibilities to improve it was examined by adding fly ash and nanosilica. Among the nanomaterials used in building materials, nanosilica has gained significant interest by performing a beneficial effect in improving the mechanical properties of concretes. In addition, due to its ultrafine size and high chemical reactivity, the performance of nanosilica is much better with a lower amount of admixture required. Results show that applied nanosilica slightly reduced the compressive strength of magnesium cement in a dry state, but at the same time significantly increased its water resistance. Hemp magnesium oxychloride cement board prototype samples were produced and demonstrate promising results for further manufacturing of hemp composite boards.

In this work, magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) was used to realize the resource use of foundry dust (FD). Portland cement (PC)-based superhydrophobic coating was prepared on the surface of FD/MOC composite to improve the water resistance of the composite. First, the FD/MOC composites with different contents of FD were prepared. The phase structure of the composite was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure of the cross-section and surface of the composite was observed using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The mechanical properties of the FD/MOC composites with different FD contents at different ages were tested and analyzed. Secondly, the superhydrophobic coating was prepared on the surface of MOC composite using silane/siloxane aqueous emulsion as the hydrophobic modifier, PC as the matrix and water as the solvent. The microstructure and chemical composition of the PC-based superhydrophobic coating were tested and analyzed. The results show that FD can significantly improve the early strength of the FD/MOC composite. The 28-day compressive strength of the FD/MOC composite decreases with increasing FD content. When the FD content is 30%, the 28-day compressive strength of the FD/MOC composite is as high as 75.68 MPa. Superhydrophobic coating can effectively improve the water resistance of the FD/MOC composite. The softening coefficient of the FD/MOC composite without superhydrophobic coating is less than 0.26, while that of the composite modified by superhydrophobic coating is greater than 0.81.

As we all know, magnesium oxychloride foamed cement material has poor water resistance, leading to a decline in application value. In our research, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and triethoxy-1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-tridecylfluoro-n-octylsilane (FAS) were pre-cohydrolyzed to prepare the overall super hydrophobic magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) foamed material, and its structure and performances were systematically studied. The results show that adding organosilane can make it have overall hydrophobicity under the premise of maintaining the compressive strength. Mechanical abrading and chemical corrosion tests show its good engineering durability. The maximum moisture absorption rate dropped by 16.2%, and the quality can be restored to 98.1% of the original quality after dehumidification. All these properties show that the hydrophobic foamed magnesium oxychloride cement has potential engineering application value.

The influences of desulfurization gypsum on the properties of both Magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) pastes and MOC abrasive tools were investigated in this study. By incorporating desulfurization gypsum in the MOC pastes, the compressive strength of MOC paste improved slightly. With 5% gypsum addition, the flexural strength of MOC pastes increased by 36%, the abrasion loss of MOC abrasive tools decreased by 35%, the strength softening coefficient greatly increased. The mechanism maybe due to the microstructure of the MOC pastes became more compact with gypsum adding, the rate of hydrolyzation reaction of MOC phases would be postponed.
