Abstract
This study investigates the influence of CO2 concentration on the carbonation process in cementitious paste, focusing on water content distribution in ordinary Portlandite cement and limestone-calcined clay cement (LC3). Employing single-sided nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for water profiling, we revealed that under accelerated carbonation of 5 % and 1 %, the water content in fine pores (interlayer space and gel pores) kept constant at the carbonation front, demonstrating the plugging effect where fine pore water removal governs carbonation progress. This effect was absent under natural carbonation conditions because evaporation precedes the carbonation process. This study emphasizes that to accurately characterize cementitious materials under natural carbonation conditions, CO2 concentrations in accelerated methods should be constrained to prevent the plugging effect.
期刊介绍:
Cement and Concrete Research is dedicated to publishing top-notch research on the materials science and engineering of cement, cement composites, mortars, concrete, and related materials incorporating cement or other mineral binders. The journal prioritizes reporting significant findings in research on the properties and performance of cementitious materials. It also covers novel experimental techniques, the latest analytical and modeling methods, examination and diagnosis of actual cement and concrete structures, and the exploration of potential improvements in materials.
