Popis: The reduced early-age properties of cementitious materials substituted recycled concrete slurry waste (RCSW) hinder its utilisation, which can be further improved via early-age carbonation curing with benefits from sequestering the CO2. This study aims to compressively investigate the effectiveness and environmental impact of early carbonation curing on three replacement ratios and three types of treatments of RCSW including sieving, shearing and ball milling with standard curing. In addition to mechanical properties, hydration properties, microstructure characteristics, and carbon sequestration of the treated-RCSW replaced cement paste after different curing methods were investigated and compared. The results showed that, compared to substitution ratios of 30 % and 45 %, cement paste with a 15 % RCSW substitution ratio exhibited higher strength. Furthermore, compared to standard curing, the carbonation curing method effectively improved the early strength and overall performance of the cement paste, with the early strength under carbonation curing at a 15 % RCSW substitution rate being about 89 % higher than that of standard curing. According to economic and environmental calculations, RCSW substitution could effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and the use of carbonised curing methods enabled the cement paste to effectively absorb carbon dioxide.
