Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). One of the methods includes obtaining first optical measurements of RCA particles as the RCA particles are conveyed past the first optical sensors; determining, based on the first measurements, an initial characterization of the RCA particles; iteratively performing a carbonation process on the RCA particles, obtaining second optical measurements of the RCA particles, and determining, from the second measurements, a second characterization of the RCA particles, wherein conditions of the carbonation process are initially set based on the initial characterization, and the conditions of the carbonation process are adjusted based on the second characterization; ceasing the iterative performance of the carbonation process in response to the second characterization meeting target carbonation characteristics; iteratively performing a densification process on the RCA particles, obtaining third optical measurements of the RCA particles, and determining, from the third measurements, a third characterization of the RCA particles, wherein conditions of the densification process are initially set based on the initial characterization or the second characterization, and the conditions of the densification process are adjusted based on the third characterization; and ceasing the iterative performance of the densification process in response to the third characterization meeting target densification characteristics.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). A method includes obtaining an aqueous carbonate solution by exposing an aqueous alkaline solution to a carbon dioxide laden fluid; performing a treatment process on a first portion of RCA particles using a first set of parameters, the treatment process including exposing the first portion of RCA particles to the aqueous carbonate solution; after performing the treatment process, obtaining measurements of the first portion of RCA particles; determining, using the measurements of the first portion of RCA particles, a second set of parameters; and performing the treatment process on a second portion of RCA particles using the second set of parameters. Exposing the first portion of RCA particles to the aqueous carbonate solution includes soaking the first portion of RCA particles in the aqueous carbonate solution.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for characterization of aggregate particles. A method includes obtaining, from a set of low fidelity sensors, first sensor data of a first portion of particles; obtaining, from a set of high fidelity sensors, second sensor data of the first portion of particles, the second sensor data comprising a higher fidelity representation of characteristics of the first portion of particles than the first sensor data; training a characterization model using the first sensor data and the second sensor data, the training comprising: providing, as training data to the characterization model, the second sensor data; and processing the second sensor data with the characterization model to correlate the first sensor data with the second sensor data. The first sensor data can indicate shape characteristics of each particle; and the second sensor data indicates a surface area of each particle.
