Low-carbon bricks developed using C&D waste for energy-efficient walling envelopes
The Hindu
Scientists have developed a technology that addresses two important issues – conserving mined raw material resources and emission reduction.
Researchers have developed a technology to produce energy-efficient walling materials using construction and demolition (C&D) waste and alkali-activated binders, the Department of Science and Technology said on Thursday.
Called low-carbon bricks, they do not require high-temperature firing, and avoid the use of high-energy materials such as Portland cement. The technology will also solve the disposal problems associated with C&D waste mitigation.
Conventionally, building envelopes consist of masonry walls built with burnt clay bricks, concrete blocks, hollow clay blocks, fly ash bricks, lightweight blocks, and so on.
