Both paste and mortar specimens were prepared and subjected to carbonation under 20% CO 2, …

MgO also has a 150-year history of being used in the form of calcined magnesium carbonate (MgCO 3) as a component in magnesium-based cement (Walling and Provis 2016).Magnesia-based cement, by definition, uses MgO as a building block rather than the CaO that comprises more than 60% of the elemental composition of portland cement (PC).
