Project Description:
Construction Demolish waste (CDW) components, particularly aggregates, capture carbon dioxide (CO2) through carbon mineralization. CO2 mineralization is the process of chemically binding CO2 (“carbonation”) in calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Recent studies showed that the finest component of recycled concrete, RCP, can capture significant amounts of CO2 and be revalorized as SCM. The CO2ncrete project aims to valorize components of CDW through enforced carbonation and mechanical agitation, enabling a new alternative SCM for the industry
Project Objectives:
Revalorizing mineral waste components (Recycled concrete paste (RCP), ceramics, tiles, bricks, etc.) of CDW as an alternative SCM through carbon mineralization.
Asses the performance of cement-based systems containing regenerated SCM.
