Abstract

Limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) is considered the most promising alternative to Portland cement. This research proposes an innovative carbon conversion and utilization strategy that provides greater flexibility in the production of LC3. In this study, a carbon-fixing product with a CO2 uptake of 29.39% was prepared via semi-wet carbonation pretreatment of wollastonite. This product can be used to replace limestone in LC3 and play an effective synergistic role. This study was conducted to investigate the morphology and phase change of carbonated wollastonite (CWS) before and after preparation. The effects of CWS and natural wollastonite on the hydration kinetics, workability, mechanical properties, and durability were investigated through comprehensive experiments. Furthermore, the composition, porosity, and microstructural changes were characterized and analyzed. The results show that CWS has multiple properties, such as carbonate properties, synergistic effects, and pozzolanic reactions. Using CWS as a carbonate source in LC3 increased the compressive strength and resistivity by 11.1 % and 36 %, respectively. The mortar exhibited increased carbonation durability because of the densification effect on the microstructure of the amorphous silica gel. The superposition of the synergistic effect and pozzolanic reaction reduced the total porosity of the hardened paste from 28.32 % to 21.43 %. The results of this study highlight the potential value of carbon-fixing products in the development of LC3 composites and additional CO2 utilization opportunities. This study also explored the future development prospects of this strategy, which is expected to provide new ideas and a practical basis for promoting the sustainable development of the construction industry.

期刊介绍: Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
