| Abstract |
Indoor air quality issues are on the rise, with five out of ten schools exceeding fine dust standards and 172 out of 694 daycare centers
having elevated heavy metal levels attributed to construction materials. Globally, countries are actively researching ways to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions, the primary driver of global warming. Within the realm of cement production, which constitutes a substantial 73.6% of
Korea’s mineral industry, there is a concerted effort to explore alternative materials and methodologies to curb carbon emissions. Tourmaline,
as a porous inorganic substance, possesses the unique ability to undergo both physical and chemical adsorption through interaction with water.
When integrated into a non-cement matrix, it holds great promise for effectively reducing harmful substances. Therefore, this study explores
the incorporation of tourmaline into both cement and non-cement matrices, conducting experiments to assess its impact on properties such as
strength, fluidity, density, air volume, and the mitigation of harmful substances. |
