Shi Caijun pointed out that the preparation of low/negative carbon building materials and products by carbon mineralization involves complex physical and chemical processes, and fine regulation can significantly improve performance. The capture and storage of carbon requires considerable cost, and the direct use of tail gas for carbon mineralization is the most economical and effective way of carbon utilization. The durability and structural properties of carbon-mineralized products need to be studied to expand their applications.
