Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The manuscript aims to propose a new method of zeolite partial replacement of steel slag to improve the carbonization of steel slag.

The content of the paper corresponds to the topic stated in the title.

The article has a well thought-out, logical structure. It has been divided into six chapters.

The selection of sources is correct. Sources include 19 references.

I recommend the article for publishing after taking into account the following remarks:

1.                  There are many punctuation errors, for example

line 43 “burning process, adding admixtures, and a number of other procedures”

line 52-53 “Crystallinity of hydrated calcium silicate”

The punctuation marks are missing.

2.                  Sometimes there are too many spaces and sometimes they are missing.

3.                  Punctuation problem in Abstract.

4.                  Line 90 what is “concrete with 89 strength class C40” – is it “C40/50”?

5.                  Line 195 “(Mpa)” – Mpa

6.                  The paper is not adapted to the editorial guidelines (for example references).

For example: Line 49-50 “main stages:9,10 1) dissolution”

Line 27 “regarded as the second most often used material after water1,2”
