The strength gain of reactive MgO cement (RMC) samples depends on carbonation, which is limited by the formation of an initial carbonate layer and the low dissolution of CO2. This study investigates the use of seeds and NaHCO3 (SBC) to extend the surface area for carbonation and increase CO2 dissolu...
