Both thermodynamically stable magnesium oxychloride phases with stoichiometry 3Mg(OH)2\u2219MgCl2\u22198H2O (Phase 3) and 5Mg(OH)2\u2219MgCl2\u22198H2O (Phase 5) were prepared. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed to confirm the purity of the studied phases after 7, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 days. Due to carbonation, chlorartinite was formed on the surface of the examined samples. The Rietveld analysis was performed to calculate the phase composition and evaluate the kinetics of carbonation. The SEM micrographs of the sample surfaces were compared with those of the bulk to prove XRD results. Both MOC phases exhibited fast mineral carbonation and high maximum theoretical values of CO2 uptake capacity. The materials based on MOC cement can thus find use in applications where a higher concentration of CO2 in the environment is expected (e.g., in flooring systems and wall panels), where they can partially mitigate the harmful effects of CO2 on indoor air quality and contribute to the sustainability of the construction industry by means of reducing the carbon footprints of alternative building materials and reducing CO2 concentrations in the environment overall.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app10072254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,27]],"date-time":"2020-03-27T09:04:38Z","timestamp":1585299878000},"page":"2254","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["Carbon Dioxide Uptake by MOC-Based Materials"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3501-8943","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ond\u0159ej","family":"Jankovsk\u00fd","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Chemistry and Technology, Technick\u00e1 5, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michal","family":"Lojka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Chemistry and Technology, Technick\u00e1 5, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna-Marie","family":"Lauermannov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Chemistry and Technology, Technick\u00e1 5, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7160-2760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filip","family":"Anton\u010d\u00edk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Chemistry and Technology, Technick\u00e1 5, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6103-7080","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milena","family":"Pavl\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Engineering and Chemistry, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Th\u00e1kurova 7, 166 29 Prague 6, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0857-161X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zby\u0161ek","family":"Pavl\u00edk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Engineering and Chemistry, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Th\u00e1kurova 7, 166 29 Prague 6, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Sedmidubsk\u00fd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Chemistry and Technology, Technick\u00e1 5, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"102","article-title":"On a new magnesium cement","volume":"65","author":"Sorel","year":"1867","journal-title":"CR Acad.
