However, gypsum-based materials tend to show a decline in performance after carbonation, a challenge that remains unresolved in current research. This study is the first to utilize the unique properties of basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS), which is a type of steel slag waste, to address this issue. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted on bulk density, compressive strength, water resistance, water absorption, porosity, and environmental impact, complemented by advanced analytical techniques, including TGA, SEM, and XRD, to gain deeper insights into the underlying reaction mechanisms. The findings reveal that incorporating BOFS into gypsum-based materials and activating the system with an alkaline activator mitigated deterioration after carbonation while maintaining effective CO₂ sequestration. The results indicated that adding 20 % BOFS to gypsum-based blocks with a water-to-binder ratio of 0.20 generated sufficient carbonation products (CaCO₃ and SiO₂-rich gel) after carbonation. These products effectively filled the internal pores of the specimens and induced subsequent hydration reactions, further improving their compressive strength and water resistance. Furthermore, based on life cycle assessment, these specimens achieved an ideal CO₂ uptake of 32 kg CO₂ eq per ton, reducing the global warming potential by 94.5 % compared to carbonated cement-based materials.

Electrochemical testing was carried out using potassium ferrocyanide and potassium permanganate as catholytes with the MFAD as anolyte in different conditions, i.e., MFAD was dissolved in 1M KOH and made two different supporting electrolyte systems: (i) urea with KCl (MFAD1) and (ii) urea, KCl, and Na₃PO₄ (MFAD2).

In this study, we present a sustainable approach for electrospinning of CA, by identifying and validating a green binary solvent system based on dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

By tuning the solvent ratio, the fiber diameter, surface morphology and mechanical performance could be modified. Higher contents of the more volatile solvent (DMC) led to porous fiber surfaces, while increasing amounts of DMSO led to smooth fiber surfaces. In addition, the mechanical properties of the electrospun fiber mats were strongly dependent on the solvent composition.
