| Abstract Scope |
The civil construction sector has gained prominence in terms of the exponential increase in CO2 emissions. Strategies aimed at reducing these emissions corroborate the trend of new research. Such strategies include energy management of buildings, use of eco-friendly materials, and the incorporation of materials such as biochar. Biochar is a by-product generated from the controlled thermochemical processes, pyrolysis or gasification, which are rich in carbon and have the ability to extract energy from the processed biomass. The objective of this study was to characterize biochar and analyze the incorporation of different types of biochar into the cementitious matrix. The following were analyzed: coconut shells, bamboo, beans, sugarcane, corn cobs and eucalyptus, added to the coating mortar. Tests related to physical and mechanical performance were performed. The results showed that biochar can be an alternative for the replacement of fine aggregates and even in the partial replacement of Portland cement. |
