SOIL STABILISATION USING INTEGRATED DESIGN OF LOW CO2 ALTERNATIVE CEMENTITIOUS BINDERS

混凝土是世界上仅次于水的第二大使用物质，这主要是因为它的低成本、丰富和在各种环境中的可靠性。虽然混凝土早在古埃及人、希腊人和罗马人时期就已经成为社会的基石，但目前的生产和利用方法带来了巨大的能源和排放挑战。这项研究提出了水泥行业的资源和能源效率机会，水泥行业是混凝土中主要的碳排放者，通过利用钢铁行业的工业副产品来创造新的水泥，并在这两个基础行业之间建立循环经济。我们需要迅速地从根本上对英国的基础产业进行脱碳，我们可以通过提高资源效率来做到这一点。这个项目的主要动机是将我们由材料进化公司开发的现有技术(利用95%的废物和节省85%的二氧化碳排放)更快地推向市场，用于土壤稳定，同时在岩土领域创造新的熟练工作岗位，并使用蒂赛德当地的废物来修复自由港的土地。市场机会在英国是巨大的，目前水泥短缺，价格上涨，二氧化碳排放成为建设项目的决定性因素。我们处于一个完美的位置，可以消除我们对向英国进口水泥的依赖，通过重复利用目前被送往垃圾填埋场的废物，实现自给自足地满足我们的水泥需求。

Concrete is the second most used substance in the world after water, largely due to its low cost, abundance, and reliability in a wide variety of environments. While concrete has been a building block of society dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, current production and utilization methods pose significant energy and emissions challenges.This research proposes a resource and energy efficiency opportunity in the cement industry, which is the main carbon emitter within concrete, by utilising industrial by-products from the steel industry to create a new cement and establish a circular economy between these two foundation industries. We need to rapidly and radically decarbonise the foundation industries in the UK, and we can do this by improving resource efficiency.The main motivation for this project is to take our existing technology developed by Material Evolution (utilising 95% waste and saving 85% CO2 emissions) to market quicker in the use case of soil stabilisation, whilst creating new skilled jobs in geotechnical fields and using waste material local to Teesside to remediate land on the freeport.The market opportunity is huge in the UK with current cement shortages, rising prices and CO2 emissions becoming a deciding factor in the construction projects. We are in a perfect position to remove our reliance on importing cement into the UK, becoming self-sufficient in our cement needs by reusing waste currently sent to landfill.
