Carbonation laboratory
The laboratory is equipped with a large carbonation and hardening chamber (0.4 m in diameter and 1 m in length) for full-size concrete products, along with smaller carbonation chambers (5 to 10 litres) used to record in situ the mass changes during the reaction kinetics of carbonation and a dynamic gasification chamber for measuring the atmospheric pressure of carbonation.
