Temperature-regulated ammonium carbonate curing of steel slag: Enhanced carbonation, strength, and CO2 mineralization for sustainable building materials by Ziping Pan, Jiajie Li, Xingtong Yue, Zeping Wu, Dongdong Zhang, Yingxi Hu, Wen Ni, Michael Hitch

“…Specifically, the 60 °C curing group achieved a peak compressive strength of 118.38 MPa, which is 114 % greater than at 20 °C, emphasizing the vital role of temperature in speeding up reaction kinetics and fostering the formation of strong carbonation-hydration products. Comprehensive characterizations—including uniaxial compression, total carbon analysis, XRD, TG-DTG, FT-IR, and SEM—indicate that higher temperatures promote Ca2+ dissolution, increase calcium carbonate crystallinity, and encourage the development of denser microstructures. …”
