This research shows improved mechanical performance and volume stability in basic magnesium sulfate cement using carbonated boron mud, indicating a sustainable cement alternative.
Key Points
The CBM-modified BMSC demonstrated significantly enhanced mechanical performance compared to untreated BM specimens, supporting its feasibility.
Carbonation treatment of boron mud improved its reactivity and helped incorporate carbonate ions into the cement matrix, enhancing stability.
Experimental analyses confirmed the formation of stable magnesium carbonate phases, mitigating issues with magnesium hydroxide formation.
This research presents a sustainable approach for CO2 utilization in the concrete industry, promoting a new direction for magnesium cement development.
