The intrinsic mechanical properties of hydromagnesite, Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2.4H2O, a key phase of reactive MgO carbonate cement
Cement and Concrete Research(2024)
摘要
To potentially enable CO2 sequestration, reactive MgO carbonate cement is emerging as an alternative binder to Portland cement. Understanding the mechanical properties of its binding phase is critical for understanding the strength development and performing materials design for reactive MgO cement systems; however, the intrinsic mechanical properties of hydromagnesite (Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2.4H2O), a key binding phase, remain unexplored. The present study utilized synchrotron-based high-pressure X-ray diffraction to determine the unit cell-scale, intrinsic mechanical properties of hydromagnesite for the first time. Up to hydrostatic loading of 7.7 GPa, the bulk modulus of hydromagnesite was determined as 59 GPa or 71 GPa fitted using the second-order or third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, which we contextualize with binding phases in various cement systems. The experiment results are applicable in materials design of low-carbon concrete and valuable for the validation and calibration of atomistic models.
