Potential of Construction and Demolished Wastes as Pozzolana
Procedia Technology, 2016 AbstractThe construction and demolition (C&D) wastes constitute 25% of the solid waste generation in India. A large proportion of these wastes are disposed off as landfill leading to severe social and environmental problems. Environmental considerations are pushing the industry towards more sustainable practices which leads less energy intensive ...

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) remains the most common binder used in construction and accounts for nearly 7%‐8% of the world’s CO2 emissions due to calcination of limestone and high energy use during clinker production. Reducing OPC content using SCMs is one of the major strategies to achieve sustainable construction.
