Scrubbing pollutant gases from air via biochar-foam concrete technology

该项目旨在解决通过直接空气捕获技术控制空气中二氧化碳和二氧化硫水平的迫切需要，该技术使用带有工程生物炭的泡沫混凝土，该泡沫混凝土是通过热解食物垃圾制备的。该项目的预期成果将是一种耐用的生物炭-泡沫混凝土技术，可增强对上述污染物的吸收，从而降低其在周围环境中的浓度。它与澳大利亚政府科学和研究优先领域的资源和环境变化联系在一起，通过利用废流并提供适应气候变化影响的措施。部署这项技术将为城市居民提供耐用的轻质建筑和健康的环境。

This project aims to address the pressing need to curb carbon dioxide and sulfur oxide level in the air through direct air capture technology using foamed concrete with engineered biochar, prepared by pyrolysis of food waste. The expected outcome of the project would be a durable biochar-foam concrete technology that enhances uptake of the mentioned pollutants, thus reducing their concentration in the ambient environment. It links to Australian Government’s Science and Research priority areas of Resources and Environmental Change through utilization of waste-stream and offering an adaptive measure to impacts of climate change. Deploying this technology would offer durable lightweight construction and healthy environment for urban residents.
