Principal Investigator
Prof. Manu Santhanam
Co-Investigator
Prof. Surender Singh
Objective
- Develop and validate a pilot-scale process to convert concrete waste sludge and fines into useful construction materials through CO₂ mineralization.
Description
- The proposed project aims to establish a dedicated C&D Waste Sludge Carbonation and Valorization Facility for converting fine sludge generated from Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste recycling plants, as well as concreting wash waste into value-added cementitious materials through accelerated carbonation and CO₂ mineralization.
