Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Cementitious Construction Materials

Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Cementitious Construction Materials, Second Edition follows on the success of the previous edition and provides an up-to-date review on recent research developments on cementitious construction materials based on carbon dioxide storage. Brand new chapters are included on carbonation methods, such as carbon sequestration of cement pastes during pressurized CO2 curing; carbon dioxide sequestration of low-calcium fly ash via direct aqueous carbonation; increasing the efficiency of carbon dioxide sequestration through high temperature carbonation; and carbon sequestration in engineered cementitious composites. There are also several new case studies on sequestration of industrial wastes, which include carbon dioxide sequestration by direct mineralization of fly ash; the effect of direct carbonation routes of basic oxygen furnace slag on strength and hydration of blended cement paste; carbon sequestration of mine waste and utilization as a supplementary cementitious material; and carbon dioxide sequestration on masonry blocks based on industrial wastes.
