Accelerated Carbonation of Cement-Based Materials: Utilizing Waste Heat Towards Low-carbon Construction presents readers with a method of capturing carbon dioxide and embedding it into construction materials. Strategies are offered to assist readers in addressing the challenges of effectively reducing the carbon footprint of the cement and construction industry, sustainability within the industry, and efficient use of resources and innovation in recycled aggregates. Sections cover cutting-edge research, case studies, and practical applications drawn from a broad range of situations, including examples from developing countries and regions with diverse environmental conditions.
Bridging current theoretical research with the author’s extensive industry experience, the book is a valuable reference resource for researchers, industry professionals, and policy-makers seeking to implement advanced low-carbon technologies in the cement and construction industries.
