Ambient concrete carbonation is a trivial contributor in mitigating carbon dioxide emissions from cement production
Rui Xiao, Dale P. Prentice, Manas Sarkar, Aditya Kumar, Fabian Rosner, Narayanan Neithalath, et al.
Abstract Ambient carbonation—the passive uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide into the alkaline pore solution of concrete—has been proposed to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions from cement production. Herein, we apply thermodynamic and diffusion-based analyses within a Monte Carl…
