MIT Investigation Frames Beneficial Role of CO2 on Cement Hydration

Deploying in situ Raman microspectroscopy to track initial 24-hour cement hydration, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and CarbonCure Technologies researchers have pinpointed the molecular sequence behind the early strength-enhancing effects carbon dioxide imparts in concrete or mortar mixes. Their findings reinforce a cement optimization, CO2 mineralization and finished concrete performance value proposition that CarbonCure Technologies and its producer partners in 20 countries…
