Original Abstract

Carbonatation represents one of the potential degradation mechanisms of the construction materials. The negative impact of the carbonatation are mainly accompanied by the decrease of the pH of the pore solution under the certain value (9–10) and the formation of reaction products (various types of carbonates or bicarbonates). The progress of the carbonatation is significantly dependent on the experimental conditions like the partial pressure of CO2 or the humidity. The various types of alkaline activators (sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and sodium water glass) in 6 % Na2O dosages were used in this study for the preparation of the alkali-activated blast furnace slag samples for further carbonatation testing when exposed to various environments – exterior, interior, CO2 chamber and water. The progress of carbonatation was evaluated with a meaning of carbonatation depth determination using the phenolphthalein technique and optical analysis method. The impact of the carbonatation on the mechanical properties was assessed by the compressive and flexural strength measurements. No rapid deterioration of the mechanical properties was observed in case of the sodium hydroxide alkaline activation process. However, a noticeable changes were found for the sodium water glass activated systems especially in terms of exterior and interior storage.
