Manufacturing of green concrete blocks using carbonation process

混凝土砌块广泛用于建筑物的基础和隔墙。与现浇混凝土相比，砌体结构代表了一种低环境影响的建筑系统。它消耗更少的材料，产生更低的排放，并提供更好的绝缘。混凝土砌块的制造有可能通过早期碳化过程变得更加绿色，这是一种加速固化技术，利用二氧化碳代替蒸汽作为固化剂，并将气态CO2转化为固体碳酸钙。对于相同体积的混凝土，碳化过程需要的能量比蒸汽少50-90%，反应本身就是一个CO2封存过程。该工艺的综合效益显着减少了碳足迹，并使其有可能达到零排放状态。本研究旨在探讨利用碳化技术制造混凝土砌块的可能性，并建立一种

Concrete blocks are widely used in buildings for foundation and partition walls. In comparison to cast-in-place concrete, masonry block structures represent a low environmental impact construction system. It consumes less material, produces lower emissions and offers better insulation. Manufacturing of concrete blocks has the potential to go even greener through an early age carbonation process, an accelerated curing technique that utilizes carbon dioxide as the curing agent in place of steam and converts gaseous CO2 into solid calcium carbonates. For the same volume of concrete, the carbonation process requires 50-90% less energy than steam and the reaction itself is a CO2 sequestration process. The combined benefits of the process significantly reduce the carbon footprint and make it possible to reach a state of zero emission. The proposed research aims to investigate the possibility of using carbonation technology to manufacture concrete blocks and establish a
