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.
Along with the addition of an entire new section on bio- sequestration. 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.
This updated edition will be a valuable reference resource for academic researchers, materials scientists and civil engineers, and other construction professionals looking for viable routes for carbon sequestration in building materials. - Promotes the importance of CO2 storage in carbonation of construction materials, especially reincorporation of CO2 during fabrication
- Discusses a wide range of cementitious materials with CO2 storage capabilities
- Features redesign of cementation mechanisms to utilize CO2 during fabrication
- Includes a new section on bio-sequestration
