  • Patent number: 11858865
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods of carbonation processing for the fabrication of cementitious materials and concrete products. Embodiments include manufacturing processes of a low-carbon concrete product comprising: forming a cementitious slurry including portlandite; shaping the cementitious slurry into a structural component; and exposing the structural component to a CO2 waste stream, thereby enabling manufacture of the low-carbon concrete product.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220227677
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems for carbonation curing and CO2 mineralization of concrete composites and methods of manufacturing a carbonated concrete composite. A method of manufacturing a carbonated concrete composites includes contacting concrete with CO2-containing gas streams in the carbonation reactor having a gas stream inlet and an outlet to provide optimal gas flow distribution and gas velocity. The concrete precursor includes a binder, one or more aggregates, and water. A gas stream is received at the carbonation reactor. The gas stream includes carbon dioxide. The concrete precursor is maintained at a suitable temperature in the carbonation reactor to thereby react the concrete precursor with the gas stream to produce carbonate minerals in the carbonated concrete composite.
