Abstract
The MgO-activated SiO2 system demonstrates potential for a low carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle and is characterized by favorable mechanical properties, low alkalinity, and a high specific surface area, which shows promise in replacing traditional silicate cement in certain applications. The current system faces challenges such as slow early hydration rate, low early strength, and inadequate volume stability, which impede its further development and application. The MgO-activated SiO2 system was improved and optimized through multiple tests using carbonation (CO2 gas/NaHCO3 solution), nanomaterials (whiskers), and fiber (organic/inorganic fiber) composite reinforcement. This paper provides an overview of the hydration mechanism of the MgO-activated SiO2 system, explores modifications and control measures based on this mechanism, and discusses the potential applications and future development of the MgO-activated SiO2 system.
