Abstract:

In this work, the authors propose two methods to measure CO2 capture in cementitious materials. One method is related to thermo gravimetry and the other is through mass gain on real time. Using a high initial strength sulphate resistant Portland cement pastes, the authors achieved the best conditions of CO2 capture and measured an amount of 7% of CO2 captured on the initial cement mass basis added through thermo gravimetric measurements and 15% of CO2 captured in mass gain experiments on real time.
