Carbonation-induced bonding in steel slag blocks: Effect of pre-carbonation and calcium co-growth
This study investigated the effects of pre-carbonation and calcium co-growth on the bonding behavior between steel slag binder and aggregate in carbonation-hardened blocks. The surface pre-carbonation of steel slag aggregates formed a carbonation layer, which hindered the effective bonding between the binder and the aggregate despite an increase in the amount of total calcium carbonate (Cc) precipitation. As such, the carbonated blocks exhibited a relatively low compressive strength due to the formation of a porous interfacial transition zone (ITZ). Interestingly, the pre-carbonation layer and the loose ITZ facilitated the storage of calcium ions and carbonate species, which favored secondary Cc precipitation during the subsequent ambient curing after carbonation curing, thereby densifying ITZ and enhancing bonding. These improvements contributed to a continuing strength growth. In contrast, the blocks incorporating raw steel slag aggregate exhibited a superior bonding due to the concurrent carbonation of both binder and aggregate, forming a more compact ITZ. This was attributed to the calcium co-growth dissolved from both the aggregates and the binder in the interfacial water film during carbonation curing, leading to a more uniform ITZ and higher strength.
