Prof Zeynep Başaran BundurResearch Areas: Carbon Capture, Alternative SCMs, Carbon mineralizationApplication Deadline: 11 June 2025Daily Supervisor: Ilgın Sandalcı 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
