THE APPLICATION OF ACCELERATED CARBONATION METHOD IN CONCRETE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The paper considers the method of accelerated carbonation of freshly molded concrete, by means of which it is possible to achieve an accelerated development  of strength of the latter, and also to obtain products with better durability characteristics; the key points of the application of the carbonation method are fully described; the absence of a negative effect of this method of concrete curing on its structure over a long period is demonstrated; experimentally obtained and revealed factors, favorable for the carbonation process are presented; the possibility of the gaseous waste use from combustion of solid fuel and the achieving of the positive economic benefits due to this method are shown.
