报告摘要
The talk will focus on the development of eco-friendly and durable fiber-reinforced alkali-activated cement composite (FRAC). With the adding of glass and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) waste from end-of-life solar panels and wind turbine blades, FRAC exhibits good engineering properties. Our presentation will focus on: (1) To devise a process control strategy to recycle glass particles and carbon fibers from end-of-life solar panels and wind turbines; (2) To develop a body of knowledge on the design, mechanisms, and characterization of waste derived FRAC geopolymerization products; (3) To evaluate and optimize FRAC strength and mechanical performance; (4) To examine the long-term durability and leachability of FRAC; and (5) To assess the environmental and economic impacts of the proposed upcycling strategy. This research advances the scientific frontiers of waste upcycling by developing an innovative method for transforming waste streams from the renewable energy sector into FRAC, an eco-friendly construction material. We will present how this eco-friendly material to be used in civil engineering construction.
