Waste Valorisation using biochar for cement replacement and internal curing in ultra-high performance concrete
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The degree of hydration in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is known to be low due to low water-cement ratio, leading to a substantial portion of cement merely being an expensive filler. The study presented herein demonstrates the potential of biochar as a mineral additive for cement replacement in UHPC, enhancing hydration due to its internal curing and nucleation effects. Biochar was prepared by pyrolysis of locally available mixed wood saw dust and segregated into three size ranges: coarse (C): 250–500 μm, medium (M): 125–250 μm, and fine (F): smaller than 125 μm. These were then used to replace cement at 2, 5 and 8% by weight in pre-soaked condition. The rate and total heat of hydration measured by isothermal calorimetry were consistently higher for biochar samples, with coarse biochar samples generating up to 30% more heat at 96-h mark compared to the control mix. The degree of hydration, estimated from thermo-gravimetric analysis using Bhatty's method, was found to increase from 42% (in control mix) to 59% (in samples with 5% by wt. fine biochar). Fine biochar at 5% replacement also showed comparable 28-days compressive strength (144 MPa) as the control mix (150 MPa). Microstructure of hydrated pastes studied through scanning electron microscopy showed deposition of cement hydrates on the surface and inside the surface pores of biochar, with dense interfacial transition zone, further suggesting the efficacy of biochar in improving hydration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
