The project aims to develop an environmentally friendly technology for neutralizing calcium rich industrial wastes, transforming them into active components, and use them for the creation of innovative solid CO2 binders suitable for sustainable construction materials. The project aligns with key environmental objectives such as the reduction of CO2 emissions and the effective reuse of industrial wastes, contributing to the European Green Deal and Lithuania’s vision for the future ‘Lithuania 2050’. Project research includes:
• Comprehensive analysis of calcium-rich wastes (the chemical and phase composition, purity, granulometric composition, and other properties).
• Investigation of the impact of various treatments conditions on the properties of these waste.
• Simulation and modeling of process (AspenHYSYS).
• Synthesis of small-scale and pilot-scale prototype of a solid CO2 binder and determination of final properties.
The project is set to make significant contributions to the field of sustainable construction and waste management, offering innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges. It will provide valuable insights and methodologies, potentially leading to advancements in the research field.
