LS-CARB-M20 Multifunctional CO2 Carbonation & Mineralization Reactor (20 L)

10 L, 20 L, and 120 L configurations for laboratory screening through pilot-scale validation.

Configured for pressurized gas-phase CO2 carbonation and mineralization research

LS-CARB-M20 adds controlled humidity and a larger working volume for laboratories studying how moisture, temperature, CO2 concentration, and pressure interact during cementitious carbonation and mineralization. A standard configuration reaches 0.6 MPa(A), with a 1.0 MPa(A) high-pressure option subject to the confirmed vessel and destination-market compliance scope. These gas-phase pressure ranges are below the CO2 critical pressure and are not positioned as deep-geologic-storage simulation.

LS-CARB-M20 Multifunctional CO2 Carbonation & Mineralization Reactor (20 L)

Four-Variable Process Control

CO2 concentration, absolute pressure, temperature, and humidity can be coordinated to investigate the conditions controlling reaction rate, uptake, and material performance.

Multifunctional 20 L-Class Chamber

The larger chamber supports broader specimen formats and more representative batches while remaining suitable for research-laboratory installation.

Standard and High-Pressure Versions

Projects can be reviewed for a 0.6 MPa(A) standard configuration or an optional 1.0 MPa(A) vessel configuration with the corresponding engineering and compliance documents.

Interlocked and Documented Operation

Door-state logic, pressure-safe opening, gas and utility alarms, trend display, and spreadsheet export support repeatable research workflows and operator review.

Application & Search Guide

Testing Method

Pressurized CO2 carbonation and mineralization process development

LS-CARB-M20 Multifunctional CO2 Carbonation & Mineralization Reactor (20 L) is selected by matching material chemistry, specimen or batch size, CO2 concentration, absolute pressure, temperature, humidity, exposure time, gas consumption, data requirements, utilities, ventilation, and destination-market pressure-vessel documentation. The series supports controlled gas-phase carbonation and mineralization research; its pressure range is below the CO2 critical pressure and is not a substitute for a supercritical geologic-storage reactor.

Choose the reaction scale

Use LS-CARB-M10 for compact screening, LS-CARB-M20 when active humidity control and a larger chamber are required, and LS-CARB-M120 for representative batches, larger specimens, and process scale-up.

Define the material and gas balance

Provide feedstock type, particle or specimen geometry, moisture condition, target CO2 concentration, pressure, temperature, cycle time, expected uptake, and the measurements needed before and after reaction.

Review pressure and safety scope

The offered vessel, alarms, door interlocks, gas supply, relief arrangement, ventilation, utilities, and compliance documents are confirmed against the destination and laboratory installation.

Plan the scale-up pathway

Laboratory recipes should be transferred using comparable gas contact, heat and moisture control, loading ratio, and measurable carbon balance rather than chamber volume alone.

Common search terminology

Common search terms for this configuration include 20 L humidity-controlled CO2 mineralization reactor, high-concentration CO2 carbonation chamber, pressurized carbon curing chamber, and carbonation autoclave for cement and recycled concrete. It is intended for gas-phase process development rather than steam sterilization or supercritical CO2 testing.

Technical FAQ

Which LS-CARB-M20 configuration should I choose?

Choose the 10 L configuration for compact screening, the 20 L configuration for humidity-controlled laboratory studies, or the 120 L system for larger specimens and pilot-scale validation. Final selection also depends on utilities, pressure, temperature, gas handling, and documentation requirements.

What materials can be tested in the carbon mineralization series?

Typical programs include cement paste, mortar, concrete, recycled concrete aggregate or fines, slag, ash, mine residues, and other alkaline materials. Compatibility and loading geometry are reviewed before quotation.

Can the LS-CARB-M series simulate supercritical CO2 geological storage?

No. The listed 0.6 MPa(A) standard and 1.0 MPa(A) optional ranges are below the CO2 critical pressure. These systems are intended for pressurized gas-phase carbonation, carbon curing, and mineralization development rather than deep-geologic-storage simulation.

Is the CO2 mineralization series assigned to one international test standard?

No single standard covers all of these research and scale-up workflows. The test recipe, measurement plan, gas balance, safety scope, calibration documents, and destination-market pressure-vessel requirements are confirmed for each project.

Is this equipment also called a carbonation autoclave or CO2 curing chamber?

Those terms are sometimes used in equipment searches, but the required process must be clarified. The LS-CARB-M series is a pressurized gas-phase CO2 mineralization reactor for carbon curing and mineral carbonation; it is not a conventional steam autoclave and does not operate at supercritical CO2 pressure.
