Carbonation of recycled cement paste receives growing attention since it can carbonate end-of-life concrete at ambient conditions and chemically bind CO2 on a geological timescale. This work investigates aqueous carbonation of blended cement pastes, cured for 12–14 years and incorporating silica fume, fly ash, slags, and natural pozzolan as SCMs, using solid-state NMR, XRD, TGA and in-situ pH measurements. The carbonation products are calcite and an amorphous alumina-silica gel for all blends, where the initial calcium content governs the amount of calcite formed and, consequently, the CO2-uptake capacity. Aluminum is only present in tetrahedral coordination in the alumina-silica gel for all blends, where a higher aluminum content results in a reduced polymerization of the aluminosilicate network. A structural model for the alumina-silica gel is proposed, based on deconvolutions of the 29Si NMR spectra, which accounts for the Al/Si ratio and the reduced polymerization of silicate tetrahedra by the incorporated AlO4 units for the gels produced by carbonation of different blended cements.

老化混合波特兰水泥浆体的水碳化:Al/Si 比例对铝硅凝胶结构的影响
再生水泥浆的碳化越来越受到关注,因为它可以在环境条件下碳化报废混凝土,并在地质时间尺度上化学结合CO 2 。这项工作研究了混合水泥浆体的水碳化,固化时间为 12-14 年,并掺入硅灰、粉煤灰、炉渣和天然火山灰作为 SCM,使用固态 NMR、XRD、TGA 和原位 pH 测量。所有混合物的碳酸化产物都是方解石和无定形氧化铝-硅胶,其中初始钙含量决定方解石的形成量,从而决定CO 2吸收能力。对于所有共混物,铝仅以四面体配位存在于铝硅凝胶中,其中较高的铝含量导致铝硅酸盐网络的聚合减少。基于29 Si NMR 谱的反卷积,提出了一种铝硅凝胶的结构模型,该模型解释了 Al/Si 比率以及通过掺入 AlO 4单元减少硅酸盐四面体的聚合,从而通过碳酸化产生的凝胶不同的混合水泥。
