摘要

Carbonating fillers and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) before their use in concrete offers a promising approach to sequester CO2 without compromising the performance of SCM-blended cementitious systems. This study investigates the carbonation of fillers and SCMs with CaO + MgO content ranging from 16 to 50%. Preliminary experiments were conducted to determine the optimal conditions for CO2 uptake, and all fillers/SCMs were exposed to CO2 under these conditions. The effects of CO2 exposure were evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The changes in material reactivity after carbonation were also tested using a modified R3 test. Recycled cement materials and steel slags showed substantial CO2 uptake. Otherwise, CO2 uptake is generally low. CO2 exposure has minimal impact on filler/SCM reactivity.
