Development of Composite Materials for Carbon Dioxide Absorption for Use in the Built Environment
Summary:
The purpose of this master’s thesis, is the development of composite materials, which result from the combination of structure materials used in buildings (Recycled Ceramic, Cement, Gypsum), with a microporous material of the Metal-Organic-Frameworks class (MOFs), the MIL-53(Al). The specific material has the ability to adsorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment and remain stable in real environmental conditions. It is necessary to choose a suitable adhesive material (binder) between the two, in order not to lose the adsorption properties of the MOF and to maintain its crystalline structure. The adhesive materials used are Polyvinyl Formal (PVF) and Bentonite. This thesis includes, the development of the above composite materials in the laboratory, Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) measurements, to evaluate the crystallinity and structure of the solid samples, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), for their thermal stability and Porosimetry measurements, to investigate their adsorption capacities. The present thesis seeks to contribute to the science of materials and Negative Carbon Technologies and investigate the possibility that materials of a building, become CO2 stores. In this way, the combined strategies of reducing the concentrations of this greenhouse gas from the atmosphere are strengthened, in order to contribute to the reduction of anthropogenic climate change.
