Carbon dioxide sequestration of fly ash alkaline based mortars with recycled aggregates and different sodium hydroxide concentrations: Properties, durability, carbon footprint, and cost analysis
This chapter discloses results of an investigation concerning carbon dioxide sequestration on fly ash/waste glass alkaline-based mortars with recycled aggregates and different sodium hydroxide concentrations. Properties, durability, carbon footprint, and cost analysis were studied on it. Mixtures using a sodium hydroxide concentration of 8M and the additive calcium hydroxide show the best performance and the lowest carbon footprint. Simulations using a carbon tax of 0.0347 Euro/kg show no influence on the cost of the mixtures while the use of the carbon tax of 0.206 Euro/kg show an increase in the cost-efficiency of mixtures, even those using a sodium hydroxide concentration of 8M and additive calcium hydroxide.The authors would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) in the frame of project IF/00706/2014-UM.2.15.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
