Abstract

A promising, supplementary material, highly reactive silica nanoparticles tend to react with calcium species (Ca2+) in cement, which produces more hydrated phases. The high amount of calcium species and the potential of capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) through carbonation implies the suitability of cement paste as a CO₂ sorbent material. However, limited studies could be found highlighting the effect of silica nanoparticle inclusion on the CO₂ capture property of hardened cement paste. Thus, this study investigates the effect of silica nanoparticle partial replacement on the CO₂ capture capacity and regeneration performance of hardened cement paste. XRD and SEM analysis proved the formation of more hydrated phases upon partially replacing silica nanoparticles in cement. Partial replacement of 3 % with silica nanoparticles significantly improved CO₂ regeneration capture at room temperature among the other cement paste samples. This study found that the presence of silica nanoparticles in cement paste triggered the formation of more hydrated phases, which served as active sites for CO2 capture to occur and, thus, improved the CO₂ capture capacity and regeneration performance.

ABSTRAK: Sebagai salah satu bahan tambahan yang berpotensi, nanozarah silika sangat reaktif dan cenderung bertindak balas dengan spesies kalsium (Ca2+) dalam simen di mana terhasilnya lebih banyak fasa terhidrat. Jumlah spesies kalsium yang tinggi dan berpotensi menangkap karbon dioksida (CO2) melalui pengkarbonan menunjukkan kesesuaian pes simen digunakan sebagai bahan penyerap CO2. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian adalah terhad terhadap kesan kemasukan nanozarah silika pada sifat tangkapan pes simen CO2 yang dikeraskan. Oleh itu, kajian ini adalah berkenaan kesan penggantian separa nanopartikel silika ke atas kapasiti tangkapan CO2 dan prestasi penjanaan semula pes simen yang dikeraskan. Analisis XRD dan SEM membuktikan pembentukan lebih banyak fasa terhidrat apabila penggantian separa nanopartikel silika pada simen. Penggantian separa nanopartikel silika 3% menunjukkan peningkatan ketara tangkapan penjanaan semula CO2 pada suhu bilik di antara sampel pes simen lain. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa kehadiran nanozarah silika dalam pes simen mencetuskan pembentukan lebih banyak fasa terhidrat yang berfungsi sebagai tapak aktif bagi penangkapan CO2 berlaku dan dengan ini, membawa kepada peningkatan kapasiti penangkapan CO2 dan prestasi penjanaan semula.
