The effect of reactivity on the carbonation of MgO cements

The sustainable appeal of Calcined dolomite produces CaCO3, CaO, and MgO depending on the calcination temperature of the dolomite. This study aims to explore the effects of different calcination temperatures to produce reactive MgO as a cement binder. Dolomite was calcined at 800oC (D800) and 900oC...
