Abstract
Carbonation of alkali-activated fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) pastes has been investigated after one year of exposure to 0.038 % (v/v) CO2 at 20°C, 55% RH. In particular, the aim was to study the gel deterioration in the samples and changes of the compositions and proportions of the individual chemical domains after carbonation. For that purpose, a new method called PhAse Recognition and Characterization (PARC) [1] based on SEM-EDS elemental mapping was used. The paste bulk chemical composition was evaluated with PARC and XRF. The crystalline products of carbonation were determined and quantified with X-ray diffraction (XRD). Local microanalysis shows that carbonation of the pastes was occurring predominantly around GBFS particles (carbonation of Ca-(Na-)Al-Si-H+Mg gel) and throughout the gel (carbonation of Ca-(Na-)Al-Si-H and Ca-(Na-)Si-H).
