Abstrak

The present study concerns the application of nano-/micro-sized fibers (bio-char of Santa Maria feverfew) in cementitious mortars. The bio-char was added @ 0, 0.05 and 0.1% by mass of cement. The addition of bio-char did not affect the setting and consistency of the mortars. The fresh density was reduced by 11%, while the followability decreased by 50%. It is concluded that the bio-char results in a light-weight cementitious material, without affecting the setting time or consistency. Bio-char produces carbon-rich materials, the use of which as building materials adds to carbon sequestration in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals of the UNO.
