[0035] Further, a power supply battery 7 is provided in the cylinder body 12. The power supply battery 7 supplies power to the humidity and temperature probe 5, the peristaltic pump 6, the lamp 8, and the humidifier 9 respectively.

[0036] A power supply battery 7 is arranged beside a control module 13 and electrically connected to the control module 13. The control module 13 is connected to a network module 14, and the network module 14 is wirelessly connected to a monitoring terminal 15, and the monitoring terminal 15 can perform remote monitoring and control.

[0041] Further, an air outlet hole 403 for the second connecting pipe 17 to penetrate through is arranged on the flange cover 4.

[0042] Further, the silica gel part of the heparin cap 2 is the gas sampling port.

[0043] A method for a carbon fixation device during concrete curing, and the method steps are as follows:

[0044] S1. Fix the shape of the stirred and evenly mixed concrete to make it a cube, and place it on the placement table 11;

[0045] S2. Tighten the flange cover 4 with bolts 401 and nuts 402, and then continuously introduce CO2 with a concentration of 400 ± 20 ppm into the cylinder body 12 through the intake hole until the CO2 concentration in the cylinder body 12 is the same as that of the introduced gas;

[0047] S4. After curing for a certain period of time under 60,000 Lux of light and a humidity greater than 95%, turn on the peristaltic pump to evenly mix the gas in the cylinder body 12 and the gas in the air bag 1, and collect a quantitative gas through the heparin cap 2 with a disposable syringe;

[0048] S5. Measure the CO2 concentration with a greenhouse gas analyzer, and the surface area of each surface of the concrete cube 10, the volume of the gas filled in the cylinder body, the volume of the air bag, the volume of the gas collected each time, and the curing time are all known, and finally the rate of CO2 fixation during concrete curing can be calculated.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By connecting the air bag 1, the present utility model can achieve the consistency of pressure during the cultivation process, thereby avoiding the influence of pressure changes on the production rate of sediment greenhouse gases. In addition, before each sampling, the measure of mixing the headspace of the Shuniu glass bottle and the gas in the air bag 1 evenly by the Kamoer peristaltic pump can ensure its airtightness and enable regular and multiple sampling and monitoring to monitor the carbon sequestration ability of the concrete.

[0050] Among them, the carbon sequestration principle during the concrete curing process is as follows: During the process of the concrete cube 10 being exposed to the air, CO2 will penetrate into the concrete surface and react chemically with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) in the concrete cube 10 to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3). This process can not only improve the density and strength of the concrete, but more importantly, can reduce the content of CO2 in the atmosphere to a certain extent.

After being connected to the cylinder body (made of acrylic material) 12 of the flange cover 4, it forms a closed environment with constant pressure; the silicone part of the heparin cap 2 is the gas sampling port, which can be realized by using a disposable syringe; the three-way valve 3 is used to control the gas flow direction; the flange 4 is the key to ensuring the airtightness of the curing device. There is a silicone pad between the circular cover plate 4-3 and the upper edge of the acrylic cylinder body, and then it is tightened with bolts 401 and nuts 402 to achieve airtightness; the temperature and humidity probe 5 is used to monitor the humidity; the peristaltic pump 6 needs to run for a period of time before regularly monitoring the CO2 concentration to make the CO2 concentration in the cylinder body 12 the same as that in the air bag; the power supply battery 7 supplies power to the temperature and humidity probe 5, the peristaltic pump 6, the lamp 8, and the humidifier 9; the concrete cube 10 has a regular shape, and the area of each of its faces can be calculated; the placement table 110 is used to place the concrete cube 10; the cylinder body 12 also has a regular shape and a fixed internal volume.

[0052] Example 1:

[0053] Fix the shape of the stirred and evenly mixed concrete to make it a cube and place it on the placement table; tighten the flange cover with bolts and nuts, and then continuously introduce CO2 with a concentration of 400 ± 20 ppm into the cylinder body through the air inlet hole until the CO2 concentration in the cylinder body is the same as that of the introduced gas; in an environment with a constant CO2 concentration, connect the air inlet hole and the air outlet hole of the combination of the cylinder body and the flange to the air bag filled with the same CO2 concentration to form a closed circulation path; after curing for a certain period of time under 60,000 Lux light and a humidity greater than 95%, turn on the peristaltic pump to mix the gas in the cylinder body and the gas in the air bag evenly, and collect a quantitative gas through the heparin cap with a disposable syringe; measure the CO2 concentration with a greenhouse gas analyzer, and the surface area of each part of the concrete, the gas volume in the cylinder body, the volume of the air bag, the volume of the gas collected each time, and the curing time are all known. Finally, the rate of CO2 fixation during the concrete curing process can be calculated.

[0056] Table 1 is the CO2 absorption flux table for the carbon fixation curing of the concrete cube 10

[0057]

[0058] Through comparative analysis, it can be seen from Table 1 that the CO2 concentration and CO2 absorption flux gradually decrease as time increases.
