Abstract
ABSTRACT Light-burned MgO cement has a lower calcination temperature than ordinary Portland cement. It has been widely studied as a measure to reduce carbon dioxide because of its property of absorbing carbon dioxide during curing. This study investigated the effects of calcination temperature on the physical properties of light hydrated magnesium carbonate and calcined MgO hydrated in moisture and CO2 at 25 °C and 60 °C. The crystal size of light-burned MgO increased with increasing calcination temperature, and carbonates were formed through carbonation curing. Further, nesquehonite and hydromagnesite were formed in the 25CC and 60CC specimens, respectively, and the carbonate formation reduced with increasing crystal size. The highest compressive strength of 3.5 MPa was obtained for the 25CC specimen in which nesquehonite was formed; however, hydromagnesite exhibited better CO2 sequestration capacity.
