For a more sustainable approach, Flinders University and The University of Melbourne experts are developing a \u2018value add\u2019 for old broken concrete to \u2018upcycling\u2019 coarse aggregate to produce a strong, durable and workable concrete using a small amount of a secret ingredient\u2014graphene.<\/p>\n<p>The novel method is gaining ground every day as new graphene deposits are discovered and mined\u2014bringing the price of that raw material down as the cost of cement and aggregates continues to rise, the researchers say. They have tested results using a weak graphene solution on recycled aggregates to produce concrete potentially superior to untreated recycled aggregates in cement-based mixtures. The paper, \u201cPerformance of concrete containing pristine graphene-treated recycled concrete aggregates,\u201d is published in the journal Resources, Conservation and Recycling.<\/p>\n<p>Demolition and construction waste products expected to rise to almost 2.6 billion metric tons by 2030 globally. At the same time, the production of concrete is adding to climate change with greenhouse gas emissions and extraction methods adding to the ecological impacts. Improving the quality of recycled concrete aggregates will also play a vital role in the quality, performance and workability of recycled concrete aggregates while reducing the environmental footprints.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wasteadvantagemag.com\/recycling-concrete-using-carbon-can-reduce-emissions-and-waste\/\">Waste Advantage Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-448\/\">Recycling Concrete Using Carbon Can Reduce Emissions and Waste<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1147,3802,703,575,445],"class_list":["post-119328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-carbon","tag-concrete","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119328\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
