Summary
The project aims to understand how mechanochemical treatment modifies surface properties of recycled concrete and rock powders to improve CO₂ capture and hydration. Using electron microscopy, this research invastigates the mechanisms behind these improvements. The expected outcome is scientific insight supporting the development of more reactive, sustainable materials for carbon capture and reuse.
