Wastes to Low-Carbon Construction Materials

by Lei Wang PhD (Editor), Binglin Guo PhD (Editor), Bin Ma PhD (Editor)

Overview

Wastes to Low-Carbon Construction Materials provides a comprehensive overview of the utilization of wastes in the production of low-carbon construction materials. It covers a wide range of topics, including the basics of waste-tomaterials, the use of various types of waste, the manufacturing and processing of low-carbon construction materials, and the design and applications of wasteto-materials in low-carbon construction. Notable features of this book include the detailed discussion of different wastes, such as industrial, agricultural and municipal solid wastes and their properties and characteristics as construction materials. It also explores the manufacturing processes, performance, durability and environmental impact of low-carbon construction materials, as well as the emerging technologies for their production. In addition, this book introduces environmental impacts and economic benefits of using waste materials in construction, making it a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in sustainable building practices. - Comprehensive coverage of wastes to low-carbon construction materials. - In-depth exploration of advanced manufacturing and processing techniques. - Emphasis on environmental impacts and economic benefits
