     1 Introduction With the growing awareness of environmental protection, noise pollution problems more and more attention. In recent years, the construction of expressway, urban viaduct and urban light rail has developed rapidly. The number of urban motor vehicles has increased dramatically, and the problem of traffic noise has become more and more serious. It has become one of the most serious and widespread pollution affecting people's lives. Among the various measures to combat traffic pollution, the establishment of road noise barriers is an effective method, has been widely used in developed countries. China's application in this area is still relatively small, the use of results is not ideal, mainly for the sound-absorbing material is not high sound absorption, sound absorption properties of instability and the durability of the material in the field is not high, the production process is complex, higher. At present, in many large cities in the construction or proposed light rail project in the design of the noise barrier. Therefore, the development of a highly efficient sound absorption, high durability and low cost of new road sound-absorbing screen special sound-absorbing material is of great significance.
   2 sound absorption principle 2.1 sound absorption evaluation sound can be calculated according to the following formula: LI = 10lg (I / I0) Where: LI - sound intensity level, dB; I - a point of sound intensity, W / m2; I0 - reference sound Strong, 10 -12 W / m2. Sound intensity is the sound energy per unit area, commonly used sound intensity level to represent the sound size. When the sound is absorbed by 1/2, the sound intensity decreased by 1/2, from the above equation we can see the sound intensity level reduced by about 3dB; sound is absorbed 90%, the intensity level reduced 10dB. The human ear can generally feel the sound changes the minimum value of 3 ~ 5dB, so if the absorption of sound-absorbing material is not high efficiency, there is no use of significance. Sound absorption of materials with sound absorption coefficient (the sound energy absorbed by the material and the ratio of all the sound energy), it is related to the sound frequency, engineering generally take 125,250,500,1000,2000,4000Hz and other six frequencies Under the sound absorption coefficient that the material's sound absorption performance. 2.2 Sound absorption mechanism Sound-absorbing material can be divided into porous, leaving the cavity of the plate, film and flexible materials and other types of sound absorption mechanism vary. The sound absorption performance of the porous material is achieved by a large number of interconnected microvoids and voids. When the sound waves along the pore or gap into the material, the excitation of the pores or gaps in the air vibration, air and the hole wall friction heat conduction, due to the viscosity of the air in the pores or gaps in the corresponding viscous Resistance, so that the energy of the vibration of the air is constantly being converted to heat and consumption, the sound can be reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of sound absorption. The pore structure is required to be fine and interconnected. 2.3 Sound absorption structure Sound absorption structure can produce a higher sound absorption value, the main use of this cavity resonant sound absorption structure and strong sound absorption structure. 2.3.1 Cavity Resonance Sound-absorbing Structure The sound absorption mechanism of this structure is that when the incident sound frequency and the system natural frequency are equal, the main column in the aperture will vibrate violently due to the resonance, and the air column and the hole side wall friction will consume Sound energy. 2.3.2 Strong sound absorption structure Strong absorption structure that is cleavable sound absorption structure, the structure at a relatively low frequency can produce more than 0.99 absorption coefficient. The use of cutting-edge sound-absorbing wedge structure of the sound absorption performance is not, but it is conducive to product stability and durability.
      3 Experimental and analysis 3.1 The use of resonant sound-absorbing structure Expanded perlite particles on the surface there are many semi-open holes, which constitute the resonant cavity sound absorption structure, and thus its own strong sound absorption. Part of the water absorbed by the expanded perlite particles is rapidly extruded and some of the slurry is concentrated near the point of contact with the particles during the mixing, extrusion and curing processes with the cement. Part of the orifice was cement sealed, lost part of the resonance cavity sound absorption function. Therefore, to meet the strength requirements under the premise of the cement content to be as low as possible. In this study, gas-generating agents were used to improve the sound absorption properties of the materials. (2) due to the higher hydration temperature of the cement and the formation of the pore structure, the pore size of the cement slurry can be improved by the expansion of the cement slurry, (3) The slurry is enriched in the vicinity of the particle contact point, and then the strength is increased.


The micropores produced by the gassing agent and their openings vary in size, resulting in a wider frequency range for sound absorption (see Figure 2). Figure 2 shows that the introduction of gas bubbles, significantly improved the following 1000Hz the following low-frequency sound absorption, which is common for the ordinary gas-breathing agent; Expanded perlite products are generally difficult to achieve. In the porous sound-absorbing material behind the cavity, can produce a similar cavity resonance absorption structure of the sound absorption effect, effectively improve the absorption of low-frequency sound, the experimental results shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 behind the cavity of the sound-absorbing material on the absorption coefficient of 1 - behind the paste real; 2-cm behind the back of this simple process to enhance the sound absorption effect is remarkable, can be composite special sound-absorbing material or its Paste the appearance of the substrate design to achieve. 3.2 The use of sound-absorbing wedge structure of the sound-absorbing surface of the products designed to wave-shaped, can form a sound-absorbing wedge structure, cutting the tip of the waves to highlight the strong sound absorption of the sharp wedge effect, but Structure of the firm. The enhanced sound absorption effect shown in Figure 4. Figure 4, the structure of the wedge-enhanced sound absorption 1-tip wall structure; 2-level surface can be seen from Figure 4, the experimental design of the wedge structure can be produced from 500Hz or more close to a strong sound absorption, and In the low-frequency also has some enhanced sound absorption. If the sound-absorbing structure density gradually increased from outside to inside, but also play the role of sound-absorbing wedge. The actual production by the paste facing the sound surface compression, you can make the structure from the sound surface to the paste surface gradually dense, similar to the sharp split of the sound-absorbing structure. 3.3 pore structure of the control particle size of the formation of different pore sizes of different sizes to form a different air flow resistance. The effect of particle size on sound absorption is shown in Fig. The particle size of 1 ~ 3mm; 2-particle size of 1 ~ 5mm; 3-particle size of 3 ~ 5mm can be seen when the particle size of 1 ~ 3mm when the best sound absorption. Particle is too fine, its own cavity resonant sound absorption structure is reduced, and the need to increase the amount of cement, sound absorption performance will be reduced. Excessive or too small particle sizes do not produce optimum porosity. Adjust the molding compression ratio is an effective means to control the air flow resistance. The influence of different compression ratio on the sound absorption coefficient is shown in Fig. Figure 6 compression ratio on the absorption coefficient of 1 - compression ratio of 1.5; 2 - compression ratio 2; 3 - compression ratio 2.2 compression ratio in the general range of major low - frequency impact. The compression ratio is too large to make the sound wave more smooth through; too small is not conducive to the sound waves into the loss of porous materials, sound absorption characteristics. Experimental results show that the compression ratio of 2.0 can produce the highest sound absorption value. 4 Conclusion (1) the use of gas-generating agent and through a special exterior design can form a resonant cavity sound absorption structure. (2) According to the strong sound-absorbing structure, the wave-type sharp-split sound-absorbing structure is designed, and the similar wedge structure can be obtained by the pressing process. (3) By controlling the particle size of raw materials and molding the compression ratio and other means, can form the most conducive to enhance the sound absorption of the porosity. (4) According to the principle of material preparation, the sound absorption coefficient of the expanded perlite products can reach 0.7 or above by combining various sound absorption structures, and the sound absorption coefficient indexes of the six frequencies are reached. The international advanced level.
