Carbonated samples at various curing stages were immersed in chloride and sulfate solutions, with tap water serving as the reference medium. Several key aspects were assessed, including dimensional alterations, mechanical property variation, phase evolution, and microstructural characteristics. Key phases were identified via XRD and SEM-EDS. The results indicate that the degree of deterioration followed the order: Cl\n                    <jats:sup>-<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u2009tap water&gt; SO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>2-<\/jats:sup>\n                    . Compared with tap water, chloride exposure caused more severe degradation, whereas sulfate exposure partially mitigated the deterioration. Compressive strength decreased by 43.9% and 20.6% after immersion in chloride and sulfate solutions, respectively. The pronounced difference in damages is attributed to the high diffusivity of chloride ion with concentrations approximately 2.5 times higher than sulfate ions at a 5\u2009mm depth, which not only consumed CaCO\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    and C-A-S-H gel but also promoted the formation of Friedel\u2019s salt and facilitated anion exchange reactions. In contrast, sulfate exposure led to the formation of ettringite crystals after leaching, which, when maintained below a certain concentration, acted as a filling agent that reduced microstructural porosity.
