Nanocomposites Derived from Construction and Demolition Waste for Cement: X-ray Diffraction, Spectroscopic and Mechanical Investigations

In the production of cement, raw materials can be partially substituted by regenerable waste provided from glasses, construction and demolition waste in order to reduce the environmental problem and burden of landfills. In this study, limestone-silicate composites were synthesized using starting materials such as glass waste and lime, brick, autoclaved aerated concrete (ACC), mortar or plaster waste. The structure and mechanical properties of the nano-composite materials have been studied. The mean CaCO
