Abstract

As cement manufacturing accounts for 8% of global CO 2 emissions, there is an urgent need to tackle the environmental impacts of cement production and address the decarbonization of construction materials. Adopting supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), including fly ash, slag, silica fume, etc., can be used as a partial replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) to reduce CO 2 emissions related to the OPC industry, while providing benefits for waste valorization. This study aims to explore the sustainable utilization of a waste oyster shell powder (OSP)–lithium slag (LS)–ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) ternary SCM system in green concrete. The effect of OSP fineness on compressive strength, hydration products, pore structure, and transport properties in ternary SCM-based mortars was studied using a wide array of experimental techniques, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), the water absorption test and the rapid chloride penetration test (RCPT). The results revealed that the concrete with the ternary SCMs showed equivalent compressive strength compared to reference specimens. The water absorption and chloride ion charge of the RCPT in the concrete containing the ternary SCMs decreased by up to 30% and 81.4%, respectively. It was observed that the specimens incorporating the OSP with a mesh size of 3000 exhibited the highest compressive strength and the most refined microstructure.
