A Basic Study on the Development of Optimum Carbonation Curing Techniques for Concrete Using Supercritical CO₂

초임계 CO₂를 활용한 콘크리트의 최적 탄산화양생기법 개발에 관한 기초적 연구

This study is a basic study on carbonation curing technology of concrete using supercritical CO₂, and carbonation curing was carried out by exposing concrete to supercritical CO₂ for a certain period of time. In the case of conventional carbonation curing, long-term curing was performed for several weeks by controlling the concentration of CO₂, but by using supercritical CO₂, more rapid carbonation curing was carried out using constant temperature and pressure conditions to improve durability through surface modification of concrete. This experiment was conducted with the goal of deriving the optimal carbonation curing conditions by measuring the carbonation depth by exposing concrete for a certain period of time to conditions above the supercritical level. As a result, it was confirmed that the carbonation depth increased as the curing time increased, and the curing time could be shortened compared to the carbonation curing according to the existing CO₂ concentration.
