Image source: Lunghammer - TU Graz By Susanne Filzwieser - The "CD-Laboratory for waste-based geopolymer construction materials in the CO2-neutral circular economy" is dedicated to the development of building materials based on inorganic industrial waste and secondary raw materials. Sustainably produced concrete mixtures from mineral residues and waste materials could partially replace Portland cement-based concrete in the future, especially in application environments prone to corrosion such as sewage systems, biowaste plants or tunnel drainage systems - for Cyrill Grengg from the Institute of Applied Geosciences at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), this is not only an achievable goal, but also makes economic and ecological sense. Residue-based geopolymers could replace cement-based concrete in the future, especially in corrosion-prone application environments such as wastewater systems or biowaste facilities.
