AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional carbonation curing systems for hydraulic hardening materials suffer from CO2 leakage, leading to inefficient utilization and waste of CO2 during the carbonation curing process.

Method used

A carbonation curing system equipped with a carbon dioxide delayed discharge mechanism that preferentially discharges air over CO2, utilizing a double-cylinder structure to manage gas flow and maintain higher CO2 concentration within the curing tank.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively reduces CO2 leakage and enhances the utilization of CO2 for carbonation curing by maintaining a higher CO2 concentration within the tank, thereby improving efficiency and reducing waste.

Abstract

To provide a carbonation curing system for a hydraulic hardened body that enables efficient use of CO2 in a carbonation curing tank for the carbonation curing of the hydraulic hardened body, by reducing the amount of CO2 that leaks from the carbonation curing tank without being used for the carbonation curing of the hydraulic hardened body during CO2 filling into the carbonation curing tank.SOLUTION: A carbonation curing system for a hydraulic hardened body comprises: a carbonation curing tank that accommodates the hydraulic hardened body; a supply unit configured to supply a carbon dioxide-containing gas having a higher CO2 concentration than air into the carbonation curing tank; and a carbon dioxide delayed exhaust mechanism configured to discharge a gas containing at least air and carbon dioxide from the inside to the outside of the carbonation curing tank, and to preferentially discharge air rather than carbon dioxide to the outside of the carbonation curing tank.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
