Ann: Cement and concrete CO2 solutions gain traction, page-12

There are thousands and thousands of experiments with graphene and graphene oxide. The EU flagship is sailing through the institutes and research departments. And? They form focal points, here and there. If I were only a taxpayer I could say, what a waste of money.
And besides, there is the small FGR. And we have the bold, innovative partners like Newgen, ALT and SteelBlue. I have the utmost respect for their courage and spirit of discovery. And now?

..... Under the agreement, the consortium is planning a trial utilising up to 1,500 tonnes of specially formulated cement, converting to circa 9,000 tonnes of concrete, with varying doses of
PureGRAPH® being applied to determine optimum dosage rates and performance outcomes. This represents one of the largest commercial trials of graphene enhanced cement and
concrete globally. ...

Whatever they are making, one simple rule is this, do the math....
As a rule, one part cement and four parts aggregate are used for concrete. For example, if 25 kg of cement is used, then 100 kg of gravel and/or sand and water are required.

Lower clinker content?
And we are talking about highly respected international companies because there is a clear mandate. Less CO2.

Or, for those who don't care so much about CO2, consider this. ...Concrete is a very durable building material. But over the years, the weather also affects concrete building components: Rain, frost, heat and carbon dioxide from the air can cause it to crumble. Steel elements inside the building components can start to rust... Same for other requirements, for example concrete roads.

Thx to Emanne and Simons comment, you are in a different league


Of course you can listen to this wonderful interview about ISO ASTM and 3d concrete printing (yes, graphene is mentioned 23min). It will tell you a lot if you wanna know whats to do to get an idea and a product to market.
Personally, I hope FGR will catch this one. Puregraph seems to be very talented to improve concrete.





Great interview, well done.
