Concrete is still the most widely used building material in the world. However, due to the inherent shortcomings of high brittleness and low tensile strength of concrete, it is inevitable that some visible cracks will appear on the concrete surface during the long-term service [1,2,3,4].The appearance of cracks will affect the integrity and functionality of concrete …
Employing mineral carbonation products as a cementitious substitute could reduce the cement industry's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, a transition toward low-emission cement requires financially competitive cement production at standardized product specifications. Aiming to tackle this challenge, we modeled and optimized a direct mineral carbonation process. In …

Concrete, made from Portland cement, water, aggregates (sand, natural gravel, or crushed stone), additions and admixtures, is the most manufactured product in the world, 2.3 per person per year: that means 7 km 3 per year. Concrete production sustainability has to be framed within the cement industry perspective.
Although cement comprises only around 10% of the total weight of concrete, it contributes to approximately 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with concrete production. Cement production has a typical carbon footprint between 600 and 900 kg of carbon dioxide (CO 2) per ton of cement and is responsible for 7% of all global CO 2 emissions.

Cement plant exposure can have a negative influence on the health of both employees and the general public. Gaseous matter and particulate matter are unrestrained into the surroundings during cement making and carriage (Raffetti et al. 2019).NOx, SOx, CO 2, CO, H 2 S, volatile organic carbons, dioxin, furans, and particulate matter are common emissions …
Bacterial cell as an active nucleation centre. The result of the SH effect in bacteria-based concrete is a chemical reaction between Ca 2+ and CO 3 2+ ions in the bacteria microenvironment, with the formation and maturation of CaCO 3 crystalline on an electronegative cell surface. This would confirm the previously stated fact that bacterial cells are attributed to the BICP effect as …
Cement is the most essential construction material that acts as a binding agent for concrete, laying bricks and more. From limestone to clay and supplementary additives, each ingredient contributes to the durability and strength of cement. Let us learn about the essential raw materials used for cement production. Composition of Cement

Cement is a general term often applied to any binder material, and constitutes a defining ingredient in concrete manufacturing. The following terms describe intermediates along the cement production pathways and specific subsets of cementitious materials with unique properties and characteristics [2, 7].
The avoided concrete production, which included the production of Portland cement (PC) and the use of recycled aggregate, contributed to a reduction of 349.9 kg CO 2-eq/FU. Similar to the agricultural soil application, the WH biochar preparation and the carbon content sequestration contributed 263.5 and − 481.3 kg CO 2-eq/FU, respectively.

The biggest culprit behind this carbon footprint lies in the production of Portland cement . When ingredients like limestone and silicates are heated to ∼1450 °C, calcium carbonate breaks down into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide and subsequently forms calcium silicate hydrates, which acts as a glue in concrete [ 33 ].
