OPTIMISATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) SEQUESTRATION USING SANDCRETE-TALC COMPOSITE
ABSTRACT Global interest on CO2 emission reduction has triggered alternative cement formulation using non-classical raw materials. This work presents a study on optimisation of CO2 uptake by sandcrete-talc composite material. The morphology, mineralogical and oxide composition of the materials were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffractormeter (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF).The result obtained from XRF indicate that sand consist 50.213% SiO2.and 16.001% Si with other diminish amount of ...
