Batch experiments were performed to develop the method for the pH reduction of recycled aggregate by using scCO2 (supercritical CO2), maintaining the pH of extraction water below 9.8. Three different aggregate types from a domestic company were used for the scCO2-water-recycled aggregate reaction to investigate the low pH maintenance of aggregate during the reaction. Thirty five gram of recycled aggregate sample was mixed with 70 mL of distilled water in a Teflon beaker, which was fixed in a high pressurized stainless steel cell (150 mL of capacity). The inside of the cell was pressurized to 100 bar and each cell was located in an oven at 50 ℃ for 50 days and the pH and ion concentrations of water in the cell were measured at a different reaction time interval. The XRD and SEM-EDS analyses for the aggregate before and after the reaction were performed to identify the mineralogical change during the reaction. The extraction experiment for the aggregate was also conducted to investigate the pH change of extracted water by the scCO2 treatment. The pH of the recycled aggregate without the scCO2 treatment maintained over 12, but its pH dramatically decreased to below 7 after 1 hour reaction and maintained below 8 for 50 day reaction. Concentration of Ca2+, Si4+, Mg2+ and Na+ increased in water due to the scCO2-water-recycled aggregate reaction and lots of secondary precipitates such as calcite, amorphous silicate, and hydroxide minerals were found by XRD and SEM-EDS analyses. The pH of extracted water from the recycled aggregates without the scCO2 treatment maintained over 12, but the pH of extracted water with the scCO2 treatment kept below 9 of pH for both of 50 day and 1 day treatment, suggesting that the recycled aggregate with the scCO2 treatment can be reused in real construction sites.
