Evaluation of petroleum coke ash mortar compressive strength blended with nano-bubble water

Abstract

Greenhouse gas is one of the main causes of environmental problems, and many attempts have been made to reduce greenhouse gases in many different ways around the world since the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. Since industrialization, the use of cement in the construction industry has been unavoidable, yet a large volume of greenhouse gases generated from producing cement is released into the atmosphere annually. Therefore, ash from refining crude oil is used in this study as an alternative material to cement, with the aim of assisting in the reduction of greenhouse gases. In addition, functional water within bubbles is used to address the increasing of material strength. In this study, the nano-bubble water used as functional water has a long life span and is able to maintain a sustainable gas concentration. In order to determine the degree to which the nano-bubble water, which is able to maintain a constant gas, can increase strength as a functional water, a general tap water was used to the compare it. The compressive strength of the nano-bubble was compared with that of the tap water. © 2017 19th ICSMGE Secretariat. All rights reserved.
