Groundnut Shell Ash

Concrete is frequently utilized infra-structural construction material all over the world. Cement is the main part of the concrete, during its manufacturing emission of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) from cement factories create greenhouse effect. In these days various natural pozzolanic materials are used as partial replacement of cement to enhance strength and durability and to reduction in consumption of cement consequently reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of groundnut shell ash as a cement replacement material on workability and compressive strength of concrete. One mix of ordinary concrete and five mixes of modified concrete were prepared, where cement is replaced by groundnut shell ash from 3% to 15% by weight of cement, with 3% increment with 1:2:4 binding ratio mixed with 0.5 water/cement ratio. The workability and compressive strength of concrete was investigated. The obtained outcomes demonstrated that, groundnut shell ash as a cement replacement material have significant effect on compressive strength of concrete.

  El hormigón obtenido a partir de vidrio finamente molido es una línea de investigación a nuevos materiales, basados en el ahorro del cemento y a su vez en la disminución del dióxido de carbono a la atmósfera para obtener un material constructivo más eficiente y sostenible. Con el propósito de buscar una solución para la fabricación de hormigones, la utilización del vidrio finamente molido como reemplazo parcial del cemento es una de las alternativas para integrarlo al proceso constructivo, cuyo objetivo es disminuir el empleo de materias primas no renovables, utilizando materiales reciclados con excelentes características de resistencia y durabilidad. En la presente investigación se estudió la resistencia a compresión del hormigón, usando vidrio finamente molido, sustituyéndolo en porcentajes del 5%, 10% y 15% en reemplazo parcial del cemento. Se elaboraron probetas de hormigón convencional y probetas de hormigón con adición de vidrio finamente molido, a cada probeta experimentada se le realizó el ensayo de resistencia a compresión del hormigón en un tiempo máximo de curado húmedo de 56 días. Se realizó la comparación entre el hormigón sin adición y el hormigón con porcentajes de vidrio finamente molido, llegando a la conclusión que el vidrio sustituido al 15% como reemplazo parcial del cemento disminuye su resistencia a compresión.   Palabras claves — vidrio finamente molido, resistencia a compresión, hormigón, adición, cemento.   Abstract  The concrete obtained from finely ground glass is a line of investigation to new materials, based on the saving of cement and in turn on the reduction of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere to obtain a more efficient and sustainable construction material. In order to find a solution for the manufacture of concrete, the use of finely ground glass as a partial replacement of cement is one of the alternatives to integrate it into the construction process, whose aim is to reduce the use of non-renewable raw materials, using recycled materials with excellent strength and durability characteristics. In this research, the compressive strength of concrete was studied, using finely ground glass, replacing it in percentages of 5%, 10% and 15% in partial replacement of cement. Conventional concrete test pieces and concrete test pieces with the addition of finely ground glass were produced and each tested test piece was tested for the compressive strength of the concrete within a maximum curing time of 56 days A comparison was made between aggregate concrete and concrete with finely ground glass percentages, concluding that glass replaced at 15% as a partial replacement for cement decreases its compressive strength.   Index Terms — finely ground glass, compressive strength, concrete, addition, cement.

In recent years, the production of cement has grown globally in a very rapid manner due to the modernization of the world we live in, and after fossil fuels and land-use change, cement production is the third-largest source of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide, CO2. Cement being the primary binding material for concrete and with the prospects for the concrete industry continues to grow so will the emissions of CO2. Hence, a method to reduce the CO2 production while keeping up with the progression of the concrete industry is very crucial in current times. This is where CO2 sequestration comes in. It is a process where CO2 is converted into a mineral which will then be trapped into the concrete forever. Required data to carry out the research between CO2 sequestered concrete and concrete without CO2 have been observed, obtained and tabulated as necessary. These data are then used to compare the concrete samples with one another and also prove the theoretical effects of CO2 exposure to concrete. Hence, experimental results on the compressive strength of the concrete samples for 7, 14 and 28 days has also been tabulated, graphed and further disputed. The objective of this research is mainly to determine the compressive strength of CO2 sequestered concrete in comparison with concrete without CO2 in order to decrease the effects the concrete industry has on the environment. The compressive strength of concrete samples with sequestration of CO2 gas is expected to be higher than of the concrete without CO2.

This study was conducted to assess the effect of CO2 curing on the compressive strength of high strength pervious concrete. The factors studied to evaluate compressive strength of concrete on CO2 curing pressure, curing time, and age of specimen at testing. Three Aggregate sizes, three CO2 curing pressures, three CO2 curing time, and three testing ages were used in this investigation. The research tried to produce a high strength pervious concrete and use carbon dioxide for curing to find out whether it could enhance the compressive strength. The results show that the compressive strength of the control group increases rapidly and its 90-day compressive strength closed to 60 MPa. The 1-day compressive strength has a major impact after CO2 curing and their strength decreased by about 0% to 50% as compared to the control group. However, it is observed that there is only slight difference in relationship between modulus of elasticity and compressive strength obtained from 100 by 200mm cylinders with CO2 curing.

Concrete with various variants is a basic requirement in building a building. The concrete mixture is diverse depending on the planning made beforehand. The cement mixture is usually in the form of a mixture of artificial stone, cement, water and fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. Aggregates (fine aggregates and coarse aggregates) function as fillers in concrete mixtures. (Subakti, A., 1994). However, in building construction, additives are often added, but there is still a sense of uncertainty at the time of dismantling the mold and the reference before the concrete reaches sufficient strength to carry its own weight and the carrying loads acting on it. To overcome the time of carrying out work related to concrete, it is necessary to find an alternative solution, for example by looking for alternative ingredients of concrete mixture on the basis of consideration without reducing the quality of the concrete. From the results of previous studies it was stated that due to the partial replacement of cement with Fly Ash, the strength of the pressure and tensile strength of the concrete had increased (Budhi Saputro, A., 2008). Based on the description above, the author seeks to examine how the compressive strength of concrete characteristics that occur by adding additives Addition H.E in the concrete mixture and is there any additive Additon H.E effect on the increase in the compressive strength characteristic of the concrete. From the results of the study, it was found that the compressive strength of the concrete with the addition of additives HE was that after the compressive strength test of the concrete cube was carried out and the analysis of concrete compressive strength of 10 specimens, in each experiment a cube specimen was made with the addition of additons. HE with a dose of 80 cc, 120 cc, and 200 cc can accelerate and increase the compressive strength of concrete characteristics.

Partial Cement Replacement

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative construction material in the construction industry. It is a highly fluid and stable concrete that flows under its own weight and fills completely the formwork. The SCC requires high powder content (mainly of cement) up to 600kg/ to achieve its properties. This will be problematic because increasing the cement content is not feasible, and may cause high cost and some other technical problems such as higher heat of hydration and higher drying shrinkage. This paper investigates the effect of limestone powder (LSP) on fresh and hardened properties of SCC due to the use of LSP as a partial cement replacement. For comparison, a control sample of concrete was prepared without LSP to compare it with the various samples containing different percentages of LSP as a partial replacement of cement. Four mixes with a constant amount of (superplasticizer, sand, coarse aggregate, and water) at various replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% from the cement weight were prepared. The experimental results show that the LSP can be effectively used as a partial cement replacement on SCC to reduced cost and enhanced the performance of SCC in fresh and hardened stages.

This study describes and demonstrates a carbon-negative process for manufacturing cement from widely abundant seawater-derived magnesium (Mg) feedstocks. In contrast to conventional Portland cement, which starts with carbon-containing limestone as the source material, the proposed process uses membrane-free electrolyzers to facilitate the conversion of carbon-free magnesium ions (Mg2+) in seawater into magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) precursors for the production of Mg-based cement. After a low-temperature carbonation curing step converts Mg(OH)2 into magnesium carbonates through reaction with carbon dioxide (CO2), the resulting Mg-based binders can exhibit compressive strength comparable to that achieved by Portland cement after curing for only two days. Although the proposed “cement-from-seawater” process requires similar energy use per ton of cement as existing processes, its potential to achieve a carbon-negative footprint makes it highly attractive to decarbonize one of the most carbon intensive industries.
