The accumulation of solid waste and CO2 emissions are two critical issues hindering the clean and efficient development of the energy industry. The red mud-fly ash base polymer grouting material was prepared by Bayer red mud and fly ash, which are by products of aluminum industry. The carbonation depth, carbonation area, CO2 absorption, and uniaxial compressive strength of the materials under different CO2 curing pressures were tested. Microscopic characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM−EDS), and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF−NMR) were employed to reveal the carbon sequestration-mechanical performance evolution mechanism of the grouting materials. The results indicated that as the CO2 curing pressure increased from 0.2 MPa to 1.8 MPa, the carbonation depth of the material increased from 2.07 mm to 4.27 mm, and the CO2 absorption rate rose from 1.10% to 2.86%. After carbonation curing, the contribution of carbonates to the material's strength was superior to that of sodium/calcium aluminosilicate hydrate (N(C)−A−S−H) gel, leading to an increase in the uniaxial compressive strength with higher CO2 pressure. When the curing pressure reached 1.4 MPa, the strength exceed that of the non-carbonated control group. During the continued curing process up to 28 days, the early carbonation reaction consumed free alkali as well as Ca2+ and Na+, which are essential for geopolymer formation, thereby restricting further geopolymerization. Additionally, the overall low-calcium system of the material hindered the sustained growth and development of calcium carbonate crystals. This ultimately led to an increase in material porosity, resulting in a deterioration of 28-day strength compared to the control group. This study provides a theoretical foundation for guiding the construction of CO2 storage reservoirs in goaf areas and underground carbon sequestration.
