研究目的
To address the two main social and environmental issues in developing countries (e.g., China), namely overwhelming amount of construction & demolition wastes being generated, and air pollution, by studying the mix design and investigating the photocatalytic performance of pervious concrete containing TiO2-Soaked recycled aggregates.
研究成果
The research successfully identified the optimized mix design for pervious concrete containing TiO2-soaked RCAs to achieve high compressive strength and photocatalytic performance. The study demonstrated that RCAs could significantly improve the photocatalytic effect due to their porosity and rough surface, and the photocatalytic performance was durable even after heavy rainwater wash. This approach addresses the dual challenges of waste reuse and air purification in developing countries.
研究不足
The study focused on the mechanical and photocatalytic properties of pervious concrete containing TiO2-soaked RCAs, but the long-term durability under various environmental conditions and the economic feasibility of large-scale application were not fully explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The research adopted a two-step approach: studying the optimal mix design of pervious concrete containing TiO2-soaked recycled coarse aggregates (RCAs) to achieve higher compressive strength, and investigating the photocatalytic performance of pervious concrete containing RCAs coated with TiO2 photocatalysts.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Ordinary Portland cement of C42.5 Grade, Class II fly ash, coarse aggregates sized between 5 mm and 10 mm for both RCAs and natural coarse aggregates (NCAs), polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer, and TiO2 as the photocatalyst were used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Desktop SEM (Phenom Pro), exhaust gas analyzer (FGA-4100 mode), rain gauge (Model No. J16022), and various concrete materials including cement, fly ash, aggregates, superplasticizer, and TiO2.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Preparation of TiO2-based photocatalysts, preparation of pervious concrete, orthogonal arrays and Taguchi method for mix design optimization, and testing of compressive strength, permeability coefficient, and photocatalytic performance.
5:Data Analysis Methods
Orthogonal array design adopting the Taguchi method for identifying the optimal mix design, ANOVA for evaluating the impact of each independent variable on the compressive strength, and calculation of NO degradation rates.
