INTODUCTION Globally, cement production is contributing approximately 7% of total carbon dioxide emission. The accumulation of these emissions contributes to Global Climatic Change.
Ferrock , an innovative iron-based binding compound, presents a carbon-negative alternative to cement. FERROCK
INGREDIENTS CLAY LIMESTONE IRON POWDER OXALIC ACID
MATERIAL PERCENT(by weight) Iron Powder 60% Fly Ash or Glass 20% Limestone 10% Clay 8% Oxalic Acid 2%
IRON POWDER Iron powder is a by-product of shot blasting. During the shot blasting process the iron powder is ground to a micro-particle scale(~19.03µm). It is respiratory hazard with working with such a fine material.
OXALIC ACID It is a chemical promoter, which prevents oxidization and has the capacity to absorb CO2(by creating iron oxalate). While reacting with the Ferrock mixture, it chemically reacts with the compound and transforms it into a bonded carbonate molecule and therefore has no further threat as an emitting greenhouse gas.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Ferrock is resistant to Rust Oxidation UV radiation Rotting Corrosion
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
ADVANTAGES
FINANCIAL BENEFITS There are 3 possible sources of income for a business based on Ferrock Selling price: Assumed to be the same as cement Waste diverted from landfill: Now-a-days companies are paying for iron powder landfilled. Selling of Hydrogen
CONCLUSION As the global population continues to rise, driving further industrial expansion. The adverse environmental effects of cement production leads to the need of such an innovation. Ferrock, because of its unique properties have the potential to have a greater influence of the sustainable well-being of the environment and the prosperity of human civilization.
