Synthesis of low-carbon alkali-activated materials using carbonated recycled concrete fines with sodium meta-aluminate
This paper reports the synthesis of a novel low-carbon alkali-activated material system to fully utilise the reaction potential of carbonated recycled concrete fines. The hydration mechanism and strength source of the alkali-activated carbonated recycled concrete fines (AACRCF) system are systematically investigated. The results indicate that the AACRCF paste can pose competent hardening properties comparable to OPC, with 28-day compressive strengths reaching up to 25 MPa and 90 MPa at W/S ratios of 0.5 and 0.2, respectively. The hydration of the AACRCF system typically exhibits characteristics of high kinetics and low reaction heat release, mainly including the carbo-aluminate reaction and alkali-activation reaction, which convert the calcium carbonate and silica-alumina gels in CRCF into monocarboaluminate and C-N-A-S-H gels. The strength of this system mainly comes from its crystalline phase rather than the gel phase. Overall, the utilisation of the AACRCF system can considerably reduce carbon emission, resulting in significant environmental benefits.
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.
