Specialists from the South Ural State University (SUSU) have developed a unique concrete capable of cleaning the environment. This was announced by Marina Butakova, Associate Professor of the Department of "Building Materials and Products" at SUSU.
The new material is unique not only for Russia - there are no analogues in the world. Eco-concrete is planned to be used for the construction of roads and sidewalks.
According to Marina Butakova, the novelty has high porosity properties. The material retains dangerous substances such as zinc, ammonia, arsenic and heavy metals inside itself, thereby cleaning the environment.
Interestingly, this unique material can be made from production waste, which also contributes to cleaning the environment.
Sorption-active concrete was created from production waste (barren rocks covering deposits of magnesite deposits with magnesite and dolomite in the composition).
The use of mining magnesite-dolomite waste as raw materials will not only reduce the economic burden on land tenants, but also significantly reduce the cost of producing the concrete coating itself.
Studies have shown that the developed concrete also has high strength indicators. Only 5 cm of material will be needed to create pedestrian zones, and 10 cm of concrete as a road surface will withstand not only cars, but also trucks such as KAMAZ.
Now the authors of the project invite representatives of mining enterprises for the future transfer of industrial waste and future debugging of the production of the new material.
Earlier,www1.ru reported that scientists from Yekaterinburgcreated special bricks to contain radiation at nuclear power plants.
