Eco-materials made from industrial by-products and carbon dioxide

摘要

The eco-materials made from steel-making slag and carbon dioxide are introduced. Steel-making slag is one of industrial by-products and it has been wanted to be used in more beneficial way. Carbon dioxide is also wanted to be decreased the emission for green house effects. The materials made with steel-making slag by carbonation have very high strength and very high durability for hydration and abrasion. Mechanisms of carbonation reaction is discussed, in which the effects of water content, temperature, porosity of compacts, gas content and pressure, etc. are discussed. The compressive strength was obtained about 100 Wa at a porosity of 10 volume O/othese carbonated blocks have higher abrasion resistance than hydrated cement pastes. The most benefit in this process is no energy is required for the reaction except that of grinding, handling and/or transportation of materials. The exhaust gas from plant will be available for the source of carbon dioxide. Lastly, Marine block, matrix of glass fiber reinforced concrete, and artificial aggregate are introduced as application examples.
