Optimizing the modified atmosphere parameters in the carbonation process for improved fiber-cement performance

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the relative humidity on the accelerated carbonation process of the fiber-cement composites reinforced with a high concentration of vegetable fibers. The samples were produced with 10% of bleached eucalyptus pulp, in a method of fabrication similar to the commercial boards. The composites were submitted in an atmosphere with CO2 saturation, and relative humidity range of 60–90% to evaluate...
