Abstract:

The world is facing the problem of controlling air pollution from vehicle emissions, especially in growing urban areas. This study innovatively investigates applying the photocatalytic effect of titanium dioxide (TiO2) onto the concrete pavement to remove one of the major air pollutants, carbon monoxide. Photocatalytic compounds have the potential to remove harmful air pollutants from urban areas. There are three methods for applying TiO2 –cement-based thin coating, water-based titanium dioxide solution, and a sprinkling of TiO2 – to the fresh concrete surface before hardening. We have adopted a cement-based titanium dioxide solution method. The samples' environmental efficiency to remove carbon monoxide from the atmosphere was measured using a newly developed laboratory setup. This study involves using titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst in the concrete mix, which develops into a self-cleaning concrete, reducing the air pollution in the surrounding. This paper recommends the effective use of ceramic waste as a 10% replacement of fine aggregate. An experimental investigation was carried out on concrete containing Tio2 in the range of 12% and 28% by the weight of M25 grade of concrete. The concrete was produced, tested in compressive strength test and emission test, and conventional concrete.
