When the porous concrete is exposed to the external environment, the internal relative humidity changes from time to time due to the inflow and outflow of moisture. This change in moisture is affected by temperature. The temperature and humidity of concrete is dominant in the carbonation rate, the largest cause of deterioration of concrete. In this study, actual weather data were used as boundary conditions. A carbonization model of concrete temperature and humidity and calcium hydroxide was constructed to perform long-term analysis. There is a slight error in the carbonation formula of the Japanese Academy of Architecture applying the Kishtani coefficient, a representative experimental formula related to carbonization, and the analysis result values. However, considering that it behaves very similarly, it is thought that a fairly reliable numerical analysis model has been established. A slight error is believed to be due to the fact that the amount of residual calcium hydroxide in the carbonated site has not yet been clearly identified.

In this study, the compressive strength and carbonation properties of geopolymer paste according to the amount of alkali admixture added were evaluated for the development of geopolymer concrete that recycles industrial waste. A geopolymer paste specimen was prepared using Ca(OH)2 as an admixture, and the prepared specimen was standard cured for 28 days. After curing, the compressive strength of the specimen was measured. As the amount of alkali admixture increased, the compressive strength increased. After curing, carbonation was carried out for 7 days in a CO2 5% environment. As a result of comparative evaluation of the amount of CaCO3 produced according to carbonation, the amount of CaCO3 produced increased as the amount of Ca(OH)2 added increased. However, when the amount of admixture added exceeds 5%, the increase rate decreases, so the optimum addition rate is considered to be 5%.

The cement industry emits a large amount of CO₂, and 60~65% of the CO₂ is generated from calcination of raw materials. So, the CO₂ from cement industry can be reduced by substituting decarbonated materials for limestone. In this study, the chemical composition and grindability of three types of steel slag were evaluated and the application of those materials will be examined for the production of low heat portland cement.

This study is to analyze the difference by comparing the physical properties of general Portland cement (OPC) and low-heat Portland cement (LHC) in the market to develop low-heat cement manufacturing technology that can minimize the amount of limestone by using non-carbonate circulating resources as raw materials. To this end, the mortar is being reviewed by evaluating the properties of the mortar, such as slump, strength, durability, and thermal insulation properties, with a difference in the mixing ratio.

In recent decades, climate change has become an issue of global importance. The calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement emits lower CO₂ than the Portland cements while manufacturing. However, ettringite, which is a main hydration product of CSA cement, starts dehydrating at a temperature above 100℃, hence it may limit the CSA cement for high temperature application. Recently, an early carbonation curing of cement-based material has been extensively studied in terms of carbon neutralization. The carbonation curing of CSA cement has a potential to transform the AFt and AFm phases into calcium carbonate, and the transformation of unstable hydrates to stable hydrates can increase the resistance to elevated temperature. This review study summarizes and discusses the carbonation curing effect of CSA cement and the thermal stability of CSA cement exposed to elevated temperatures.

The purpose of this study is to enhance the photocatalytic properties of a mixture of low-cost titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate through a simple mixing process. To increase the photocatalytic activity, the weight ratio of titanium dioxide to calcium carbonate was selected as a variable. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring the degradation of methylene blue and NOx under ultraviolet light. The results showed that a mixture containing 60% titanium dioxide and 40% calcium carbonate exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity.

In this study, the strength development characteristics of calcium silicate cement mixed mortar according to carbonation hardening conditions were evaluated. As a result of measuring the compressive strength, the strength increased according to the carbonation hardening time, and the strength increase rate was higher for the specimen with a CO₂ concentration of 20%.

In this study, in CO₂ sequestration was carried out through pressure carbonation for concrete slurry water to realize carbon neutrality in the cement industry. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that as the pressure of CO₂ increased, the pH decreased and the amount of CaCO₃ produced increased. However, despite the CO₂ pressure of 5 bars, the carbonation reaction for 10 minutes alone did not proceed completely.

In this study, the characteristics of cement were analyzed using carbon dioxide microbubble water as a mixed water for mineral carbonation of cement materials. Carbon dioxide reacts with the calcium compound of cement to produce calcium carbonate and affects the initial strength improvement. Therefore, in this study, temperature, air content, thermal analysis, and compressive strength tests were conducted to confirm the reaction between cement materials and carbon dioxide. As a result of the measurement, the reaction between cement and carbon dioxide was confirmed in a specimen using carbon dioxide microbubble water as a mixed water, which affected the initial strength improvement.
