Abstract

Concrete is the backbone of modern infrastructure but contributes heavily to CO₂ emissions due to Portland cement production. Ferrock, a carbon-negative binder derived from iron-rich industrial waste, offers a sustainable alternative. This study evaluates the mechanical, durability, and photocatalytic performance of Ferrock concrete incorporating recycled glass, lime, GGBFS, oxalic acid, and TiO₂ nanoparticles.


Results show Ferrock concrete achieves competitive strength, lower water absorption, and photocatalytic activity capable of degrading methylene blue dye under sunlight. TiO₂ enhances pollutant degradation, positioning Ferrock as a multifunctional material for sustainable construction.
