Modeling of carbon sink for concrete structures: From hydration kinetics to climate-driven carbonation
Concrete production is estimated to contribute approximately 9 % of global greenhouse gas emissions. However, due to carbonation reactions, concrete buildings absorb CO2 from the air during their service life. In order to accurately predict the carbon sink of concrete buildings, a carbon sink calculation model was developed. This model is based on a kinetic model that considers the cement hydration process, heat transfer, moisture transport, and carbonation. Moreover, time-varying exposure conditions (TVEC) are considered, including long-term and seasonal variations in climate. In the case study, the model was applied to a school building, and carbonation simulations were conducted under the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario. The results show that the carbon sink of the building was 99.03 tons over 50 years, equivalent to approximately 27.6 % of the emissions generated during concrete production. In addition, the dynamic evolution of the building's carbon sink and the factors affecting the carbon sink were carefully analyzed.
期刊介绍:
Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy publishes research that is related to chemistry, pharmacy and sustainability science in a forward oriented manner. It provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the intersection and overlap of chemistry and pharmacy on the one hand and sustainability on the other hand. This includes contributions related to increasing sustainability of chemistry and pharmaceutical science and industries itself as well as their products in relation to the contribution of these to sustainability itself. As an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary journal it addresses all sustainability related issues along the life cycle of chemical and pharmaceutical products form resource related topics until the end of life of products. This includes not only natural science based approaches and issues but also from humanities, social science and economics as far as they are dealing with sustainability related to chemistry and pharmacy. Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy aims at bridging between disciplines as well as developing and developed countries.
