Overview

Randomized trial examines biochar's impact on cement mortar performance, suggesting enhanced mechanical properties.

Key Points

This research investigates how varying pyrolysis temperatures affect the properties of malt biochar and its subsequent performance in cement mortars.
Malt biomass pyrolyzed at 300 °C and 500 °C to create biochar.
Characterization techniques included FTIR, XRD, SEM, and BET analysis.
Cement mortars were made with varying concentrations of biochar and tested for compressive strength and water absorption.
BC500 resulted in a 20.6% increase in compressive strength compared to controls.
Water absorption significantly decreased with the use of BC500 biochar.
BC500 biochar exhibited better performance due to its refined pore structure and interfacial bonding with hydration products.
