His work focuses on the wet carbonation of industrial waste materials, with an emphasis on sustainable CO₂ sequestration.
During his stay, Viktor is investigating the carbonation potential of biomass ash (three types), concrete powder, red mud, olive pomace ash, and paper sludge ash. The materials undergo carbonation in a ball mill under 5 bar CO₂ pressure, followed by detailed analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and particle size distribution (PSD) measurements.
This research visit is a key part of the ASCCENT project’s mission, which promotes international collaboration and knowledge exchange by providing researchers access to advanced laboratory techniques and equipment unavailable at their home institutions. Through this collaboration, Viktor is enhancing his expertise in CO₂ sequestration in construction materials, developing innovative methodologies, and contributing to global efforts in sustainable material research.
