Evaluation of the Algaecide Activity of Titanium Dioxide on Autoclaved Aerated Concrete

Under certain environmental conditions, autoclaved aerated concrete has evidenced serious problems due to the easy growth of micro-organisms such as algae. In order to prevent this situation, traditional preventive practices such as water repellents and biocide agents have been studied. Nevertheless, these efforts have not led to a complete elimination of the problem. Based on the evidence that TiO
