Abstract

In this study, the ability to absorb CO2 in concrete, in terms of carbonation reaction, was evaluated by utilizing organic light emitting diode (OLED) waste glass as a cementitious binder. The substitution level was set 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight of the binder, and water to binder ratio was kept at 0.4 for all mixes. Prior to estimate the concentration of CO2 uptake, an influence of OLED replacement on pozzolanic reactivity and thus strength development of concrete was investigated. CO2 absorption was calculated by molar concentration of carbonatable phases and carbonation depth derived from quantitative X-ray analysis and accelerating carbonation test, respectively. As a result, the blended concrete exhibits a higher strength with an increase of OLED replacement ratio due to the pozzolanic reaction, compared to the control specimen. Also, the content of CO2 uptake for the mixtures was increased with the substitution level of OLED, of which the OLED-mixed concrete was 1.81-2.76 times higher than the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) 100% concrete. This behavior may be attributed to an increased rate of carbonation progress. Therefore, it is concluded that the capacity of CO2 absorption is improved by the use of OLED glass powder as a cementitious material in a concrete mixture.
