The development of low-carbon binders has been recognized as a means of reducing the
carbon footprint of the Portland cement industry, in response to growing global concerns …

The production of cement is responsible for about 8% of man-made CO 2 emissions. CO 2
fixation by mineral carbonation in Ca-and Mg-rich raw materials such as cement-based …

Since its widespread use in concrete began over 100 years ago, the chemical composition
and physical properties of portland cement have changed only incrementally in response to …

The ongoing expansion of industries results in the increased emission of various pollutants
into the environment, contributing to the rapid deterioration of air, water, and soil quality …

The hydration of reactive MgO in presence of hydromagnesite was investigated using
analyses of the solid and the liquid phase. A brucite-like phase with low crystallinity was …

The role of organic ligands on the formation of hydrated magnesium carbonates (HMCs) has
been remaining unclear. This work reports insights into the effects of Mg-acetate on the …

Reactive MgO cement (RMC) is a promising alternative cementitious material benefiting
from a relatively low calcination temperature during its production and strength development …

Mineral carbonation (MC) is a form of carbon capture and storage that reacts CO2 with
alkaline feedstock to securely store CO2 as solid carbonate minerals. To improve process …

Aqueous mineralisation is a process that reacts CO 2 with aqueous ions to produce solid
carbonates that fix CO 2 permanently. Over the past decade, the commercial deployment of …

The mechanisms involved in the natural formations of dolomite (CaMg (CO3) 2) and
magnesite (MgCO3) have endured as challenging research questions over centuries, being …
