Description
Elsevier Carbon Dioxide Sequestration In Cementitious Construction Materials 2Nd Edition by F Pacheco-Torgal and Caijun Shi and Angel Palomo
Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Cementitious Construction Materials, Second Edition, offers an updated and comprehensive overview of carbon dioxide storage-based cementitious construction materials, presenting a promising avenue for substantial eco-efficiency and economic advantages within the construction sector. The first part examines different methods and mechanisms for carbon dioxide sequestration in cementitious materials, including in steel slag, in magnesium-based binders and in autoclaved cement mixtures. Part two explores carbon capture in industrial waste and recycled materials, considering cost, energy, and aqueous carbonation kinetics. The final part is entirely new and investigates biological approaches to carbon dioxide sequestration in construction materials, involving bacteria, bamboo biochar, wood bio-concretes, and bio-inspired materialsPromotes the importance of CO2 storage in carbonation of construction materials, especially reincorporation of CO2 during fabricationDiscusses a wide range of cementitious materials with CO2 storage capabilitiesFeatures redesign of cementation mechanisms to utilize CO2 during fabricationIncludes a new section on bio-sequestration
