Enhancement Of Durability Characteristics Of Geopolymer Concrete With Manufactured Sand, Abdul Aleem, T Shanmuga Priya Nov 2019

Enhancement Of Durability Characteristics Of Geopolymer Concrete With Manufactured Sand, Abdul Aleem, T Shanmuga Priya

International Conference on Durability of Concrete Structures

Geopolymer Concrete is the concrete made without using any quantity of cement. Instead the waste material from the thermal power station called fly ash is used as the binding material. This fly ash reacts with alkaline solution like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and forms a gel which binds the fine and coarse aggregates. Similarly another artificial material called manufactured sand (M-Sand) is also used as the fine aggregate against the normal river sand. The durability of Geopolymer Concrete with M-sand was studied by casting cubes of size 100 x 100 x 100 mm. The cube specimens were …

Effects Of Reservoir Conditions And Trace Co-Contaminant Gases On Geological Carbon Sequestration, Ram Kumar

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Geological carbon sequestration in a saline formation is a promising technology for large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation. Several factors such as temperature, pressure, salinity, hydraulic conductivity, and mineralogy of a formation affect the CO2 sequestration in saline formations. These factors can vary widely depending upon the type of formation or the degree of heterogeneity within a formation. In addition to these properties of the repositories, the CO2-rich flue gas streams captured from point sources often contains small amounts of impurities such as sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which may have serious implications on the chemistry of the repositories …
