Step Chronology Date Type Process Changes #1 during layer formation 2011-05-24 layer formation slightly compressed grains dispersed agglomerate of grains placed in the cell under ambient temperature and air. Manual compression #2 after sample formation 2011-05-24 chemical kept 10 min under ambient temperature and air (H2O and CO2) The carbonation process started during and after sample preparation under ambiant air. Slight reaction of CO2 with Portlandite #3 on parent sample 2011-05-24 thermal cooling of the sample to -60°C adsorption of water and condensation of ice on the minerals #4 on parent sample 2011-05-24 fluid physical removal of air in the chamber: vacuum 1e-5 mbar during 10 min some loss of adsorbed water and ice #5 on parent sample 2011-05-24 thermal heating of the sample to 10°C melting of ice and some loss of adsorbed and liquid water
