Enhancing the performance of iron-based binders with seawater and CO2 sequestration by V Chandralega, M Shanmugasundaram, David Stone

“…Microstructural analysis revealed that oxalic acid enhanced the matrix densification and mechanical strength by promoting siderite and calcite formation through improved ion dissolution, whereas its absence led to decreased CO2 diffusion and reduced mechanical strength. Seawater with its high alkalinity and mineral content, significantly augmented the carbonation efficiency, validating its potential as an effective medium for sustainable binders in CO2 sequestration.…”
