That is why carbon sequestration constitutes one of the Grande Challenges of Engineering. Carbon capture and storage from the stream of concentrated CO2 at fossil fuel burning sites like power plants or steel plants is more efficient than geologic storage and thus less expensive than direct air capture. As a consequence it is important to study howCO2 generated by power plants and other facilities can be sequestrated in valuable products. This paper discloses results of an investigation concerning the mechanical performance and freeze-thaw resistance of fly ash/waste glass alkaline-based mortars with two additives and recycled aggregates exposed to accelerated carbon dioxide curing. Mechanical properties as well as water absorption, elastic modulus and drying shrinkage were studied on it. The results show that the mixtures with calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide concentration of 8M leads to the highest compressive strength (10 MPa) which is high enough for the production of masonry blocks. The results on freeze-thaw resistance show that mixtures based on. OPC have lower strength loss, than mixtures that are based on calcium hydroxide.
The Centre for Territory, Environment and Construction (CTAC) is a research unit of the School of Engineering of University of Minho (UMinho), recognised by the “FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia” (Foundation for Science and Technology), associated to the Department of Civil Engineering (DEC), with whom it shares resources and namely human resources.
Currently CTAC aggregates 25 researchers holding a PhD of which 20 are faculty professors of the Civil Engineering Department. Read more
