Development of a new type of non-Portland Cement with significant low-carbon footprint.

Abstract

Morteza Khorami

Concrete is the second most consumable materials in the world after water. Cement is the main ingredient of concrete, which has a significant role in climate changes and carbon dioxide emission. Based on carried out research

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, for production of one tonne of cement, about one tone of Carbon dioxide is produced. 

 

In this project, an innovative technology has been developed to make a novel cement that can be used in a broad range of construction applications.

This cement can be made out of several types of waste and industrial by-products which are normally available in both developed and developing countries.

In addition to competitive production costs, it can enhance engineering benefits such as increased strength, durability and sustainable revenue.
