Hydration-carbonation interactions significantly enhance the effectiveness of cemented phosphogypsum backfill in terms of carbon storage.
The study observes that CO2 curing distinctly improves the structural integrity of the backfill, promoting better storage capabilities for underground applications.
Analysis of chemical and physical properties demonstrates that hydration plays a crucial role in the long-term stability of the backfill material.
Understanding these interactions may enable more efficient approaches to underground carbon storage, mitigating environmental impact.
