- Additional information
- The development of the new multi-physics mathematical model was sponsored by Chinese National Natural Science Foundation (51578181) and an industrial consortium at Shenzhen, where several factories have used carbonation techniques to improve the quality of concrete. The introduction of solubility of CO2 under supercritical conditions has enabled fast and accurate predictions from a laboratory setting to simulate the carbonation process of over decades in real time. The model is used by Shenzhen Construction Ltd (zhahero@126.com) to estimate carbonation depth and predict leaching of chemicals in sea-sand concrete at Shenzhen where concrete using sea sand as fine aggregates are increasingly popular.
