Description

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 materials

Key features

  • Promotes the importance of CO2 storage in carbonation of construction materials, especially reincorporation of CO2 during fabrication
  • Discusses a wide range of cementitious materials with CO2 storage capabilities
  • Features redesign of cementation mechanisms to utilize CO2 during fabrication
  • Includes a new section on bio-sequestration

Readership

Academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, chemists and civil engineers, construction professionals and manufacturers working on the development of low-carbon building materials. Postgraduate students in all the above disciplines and environmental sciences
