CO2 mineralization in Concrete
Our lab focuses on COâ‚‚ mineralization technologies that convert industrial COâ‚‚ emissions into stable carbonates within cementitious systems. By utilizing industrial waste, calcium silicates, and supplementary materials, we accelerate the carbonation process to permanently sequester COâ‚‚ while enhancing concrete performance.
Blended Cements and Standards Development(Coal ash, non-ferrous slags, biochars, CKD, carbon products )
Our research advances blended cement systems by incorporating Portland limestone, carbon-rich products, slags, coal ash, and novel supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). These blends reduce clinker content and COâ‚‚ emissions while enhancing durability and performance.
