Project

Valorisation of inorganic (Ca-Si and Fe-containing) waste streams and CO2 into sustainable building materials

The aim of this research project is the simultaneous valorisation of inorganic waste streams (Ca, Si and Fe-based) and CO2 into sustainable building materials.The carbonatation process offers the possibility to reduce CO2 emissions in the PoA. In the project we investigate how wastestreams from the Port of Antwerp can be recycled and converted into new products with high-added value. This will be done by gaining insight in the reaction mechanisms and the specific role of silica and iron on the formation of the microstructure of the building materials.
