1st International Conference on Research and Application of Carbonation Technology for Wastes and Concrete

The 1st International Conference on Research and Application of Carbonation Technology for Wastes and Concrete (ReACT2024) is organised by the Research Centre for Resources Engineering towards Carbon Neutrality (RCRE) and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), Hong Kong, China, and the Solid Waste and Eco-material Subcommittee of the Chinese Ceramic Society, China. The Conference will take place in Hong Kong from 11 December to 13 December 2024.

This conference will be of interest to researchers, academics, industrial professionals, government officials and postgraduate students related to advanced mineral carbonation technology for wastes and concrete.

Topics

• Carbonation of solid wastes including recycled concrete wastes, steel slag, red mud, incineration ashes and other alkali wastes, etc.
• CO2 activation of fresh and hardening concrete
• CO2 activation of waste powders (e.g. steel slag, recycled cement powder,ashes)
• Integration of waste and CO2 for construction products (e.g. aggregate and blocks)
• Biomineralisation of waste and concrete
• Direct air carbonation
• Carbonatable binders
• Theory of carbonation
• Life cycle analyses and quantification of CO2 uptake
• Upscaling and application case studies
• Other advanced mineral carbonation materials and technologies
