An emerging technology of CO₂ sequestration in Portland cement (PC) is through accelerated carbonation, where PC is intentionally carbonated at early hydration age and reinitiates long-term hydration upon completion of carbonation. However, the current literature has overlooked a fact that different PC hydration ages prior to carbonation (pre-hydration) could lead to distinct carbonation efficiencies and subsequent hydration behaviors (post-hydration). Here, we examine the effects of length of pre-hydration period on CO₂ uptake and on the hydration extent and final strength at 28 days. The CO₂ and H₂O profiles in the carbonated PC were examined with thermogravimetric analysis/derivative thermogravimetric analysis. The pre-hydration path was traced with isothermal calorimetry. Experimental results suggested that extension of pre-hydration decreased CO₂ uptake, but enhanced the extent of PC hydration at 28 days. It was found that a pre-hydration beyond the late deceleration period of PC hydration (where heat generation is slowing down) led to a higher hydrate content of cement paste, hence forming a higher compressive strength of mortar compared to the noncarbonated benchmarks at 28 days. The lesser carbonation-induced water loss and the nucleation seeding enabled by calcium carbonate are likely responsible for this effect. Furthermore, the finding reported here should be useful for fine tuning PC carbonation process for CO₂ sequestration in concrete.
