Ph.D. Thesis

Investigation of Physicochemical Processes of Hardened Cement Paste Carbonation and of the Effects on the Reinforced Concrete Durability

Research Interests

Physicochemical Processes & Environment: Mathematical modeling and experimental investigation of physical and chemical processes: Porous media characterization, drying, diffusion, reaction engineering, design and analysis of chemical reactors. Heterogeneous catalysis and environmental management: Catalyst preparation, catalytic reaction kinetics, car catalytic converters, catalyst rejuvenation and recycling, management of gas emissions, environmental control and quality. Recycling & exploitation of by-products. Industrial ecology. Techno-economical analysis. Computer simulation
Sustainable Develeopment of the Built Environment: Chemistry of cement and additives, concrete technology, concrete durability, environmental effect on buildings and constructions, protection and restoration of building materials and constructions, cement production industries and concrete production plants consultancy. Extended use of industrial by-products (fly ash, slags, biomass ashes, etc.) for a sustainable development of the building sector. Environmental cost and life cycle analysis. Software development and applications
