How CO2 can make Robust concrete bricks - Japan achieved this.
Each concrete after it's life span, returns to landfills and its production accounts for roughly 8% of worldwide carbon emissions. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered an innovative way to transform old concrete into something new. Interestingly, these new concrete blocks are strong enough to build houses and pavements. Such innovative applications not only recycles waste but also helps combat climate change by capturing carbon dioxide. The same process can be repeated, making it a truly circular economy solution, this is the applaudable part. In Japan, the current demand for construction material is less than in the past, so it is a good time to develop a new type of construction business, while also improving our understanding of this vital material through our research said he researcher team. How the new block was made The process is surprisingly simple. Old concrete is crushed into a fine powder, reacted with atmospheric carbon dioxide, shaped in...
