This project aims to study the influence of Bacillus in enhancing the mechanism of hydration of reactive magnesium oxide (RMC) and hence, the rate of carbonation to ultimately forms more HMCs to give rise to higher strength. Bacillus is theorized to provide additional nucleation sites for the hydrat...
