This session will familiarize the mechanisms governing concrete curing via carbonation, and show how this method presents a more sustainable alternative to incumbent curing practices. It will demonstrate carbonation-curing’s associated environmental, manufacturing, and product-performance benefits.

Learning Objectives:

1. Review the manufacturing process of concrete block
   
2. Review the Carboclave process
   
3. Understand the purpose of sequestering carbon dioxide in concrete products
   
4. Understand the benefits of sequestering carbon dioxide in concrete products
