New building materials made from industrial waste have been created at the Climate Center of Novosibirsk State University (NSU). This was reported in the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.
These materials are produced using large-tonnage industrial waste from the mining industry, construction industry and energy sector.
When creating new materials, mineral industrial raw materials were crushed into small fractions. In some cases, scientists resorted to heat treatment in a high-temperature furnace or in microwave heating chambers. Then the resulting mixture was combined with an activator on an alkaline or acidic basis.
The created compositions are able to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This was achieved through the use of a binding substance of technogenic mineral raw materials with a high content of calcium and magnesium cations, which are able to react with carbon dioxide.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a material disposal technology was invented in Novosibirsk.
