Photocatalytic cementitious composites: enhanced air purification performance by BOF slag addition
This paper investigates the utilization of BOF slag as a cementitious support for photocatalytic nitrogen oxides abatement, presenting an exploratory study on its potential to address environmental concerns. The phase composition of BOF slag-based mortars is studied using XRD, FTIR, and TGA, while binding energy and microstructure are investigated with XPS and MIP, respectively. The photocatalytic NOx degradation properties of as-prepared mortars are characterized. The BOF slag-based mortar without TiO2 addition exhibits a %Conversion of about 10 % and a %Selectivity of 97 %. Furthermore, the BOF slag-based mortar demonstrates better photocatalytic properties than the OPC-based mortar when the same amount (5 wt%) of TiO2 photocatalyst is used. The addition of quartz insignificantly affects the %Conversion but significantly lowers the %Selectivity. These findings underscore the potential of BOF slag as a promising alternative support material for photocatalytic NOx abatement, offering insights into its application in sustainable environmental remediation strategies. The limitations of this study are revealed, and future research directions are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
