Environmental and economic perspectives of concrete with high mineral addition content: a case study

Concrete, the most consumed building material in the world, requires a large amount of natural resources, and its production has a strong impact on the increase of the greenhouse effect. Fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag are highly available industrial by-products, which can replace c...

Fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag are highly available industrial by-products, which can replace cement in high contents with significant advantages. This paper presents a case study in which the replacement of cement in 90% by those two mineral additions has reduced costs in 5% in costs, energy consumption in 58%, and CO2 emission in 81%, and increased the durability mean index in 34%. The use of 90% mineral additions in 5.4% (351 Mm³) of the world’s concrete production, from 2005, could save 78Mt of cement, resulting in the maintenance of world cement production at the level of 1.78 Mt/year, without future increases. There would be an annual reduction of 130 Mt on the extraction of raw materials, an economy of 0.4 EJ in energy - the same consumed by Denmark - and a 8.7% reduction of production costs of concrete with 90% of fly ash and blast-furnace slag, compared to conventional Portland cement concrete. O concreto, material de construção mais consumido no mundo, requer elevada quantidade de recursos naturais, e sua produção contribui para o aumento do efeito estufa. Cinza volante e escória granulada de alto-forno são resíduos industriais com grande disponibilidade, podendo substituir o cimento em altos teores com significativas vantagens. Este trabalho apresenta estudo de caso demonstrando que a substituição do cimento pelas duas adições, em até 90%, acarretou diminuição de 5% no custo, 58% no consumo de energia, 81% na emissão de CO2, e aumentou em 34% o índice médio de durabilidade. A simulação do emprego do traço com 90% de adições minerais em 5,4% (351 Mm³) da produção mundial de concreto, a partir de 2005, economizaria 78 Mt de cimento, mantendo a produção atual de cimento no patamar de 1,78 Mt/ano, sem acréscimos futuros. Anualmente, deixariam de ser extraídas 130 Mt de matéria-prima, seriam economizados 0,40 EJ de energia, quantidade igual à consumida pela Dinamarca, e haveria ganho financeiro de 8,7% sobre o custo de produção do concreto com 90% de cinza volante e escória comparado ao concreto com cimento Portland comum.
