Adsorption behavior of carbonic acid on γ‐dicalcium silicate surface from molecular simulations
This paper aims to investigate the adsorption of carbonic acid and water molecules on the (010) surface of γ‐dicalcium silicate (γ‐C 2 S) at an atomic scale using density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics. It provides novel insights into the mechanism of carbonation on the surface of γ‐C 2 S. The electrons transfer and interfacial reactions between the carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ) molecule and the γ‐C 2 S surface are characterized by adsorption configuration, bond order, electron density difference, and partial density of states. There exist strong interactions between H 2 CO 3 and γ‐C 2 S surface, including two types of chemical adsorption and one type of physical adsorption. This work confirms that water in the carbonation of γ‐C 2 S is to react with CO 2 to provide the reactants, and protons transfer of the carbonic acid molecule plays a crucial role in the carbonation process. The adsorption of the carbonic acid molecule is more favorable with respect to that of the water molecule, which may be the initial step of the carbonization of γ‐C 2 S.

Microwave Absorbing Mortar Using Magnetic Hollow Fly Ash Microspheres/Fe3O4 Composite as Absorbent
A new type of microwave absorption cement-based material was prepared by using a magnetic hollow fly ash microspheres composite as the absorbent. Through the chemical precipitation method, a nano- layer was coated on the surface of HFAM to obtain the composite. Then the composite was added into mortar to prepare microwave absorption cement-based material. The mineral components, micromorphology, and electromagnetic parameters of the composite and the reflection loss of the cement-based material were investigated. It was found that the composite had superparamagnetism, and its saturation magnetization and the residual magnetization were and almost zero, respectively. The best microwave absorption of the cement-based material was obtained at 3% composite to cement, of which the bandwidth of the reflection loss lower than (responding to 90% microwave absorption) was nearing 8 GHz, showing excellent microwave absorption performance.- 1 June 2018
