Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Cementitious Construction Materials, Second Edition,
offers an updated and comprehensive overview of carbon dioxide storage-based cementitious
construction materials, presenting a promising avenue for substantial eco-efficiency and
economic advantages within the construction sector. The first part examines different
methods and mechanisms for carbon dioxide sequestration in cementitious materials,
including in steel slag, in magnesium-based binders and in autoclaved cement mixtures.

Part two explores carbon capture in industrial waste and recycled materials, considering cost,
energy, and aqueous carbonation kinetics. The final part is entirely new and investigates
biological approaches to carbon dioxide sequestration in construction materials, involving
bacteria, bamboo biochar, wood bio-concretes, and bio-inspired materials
