 Introduction
»Introduction to alternative binders to OPC
»One such alternative Eco-friendly Geopolymer concrete (GPC)

 Introduction
» GPC Aluminosilicate sources and Activators
» Efficient performance of GPC Source material and Activator [4]
» Recycled aggregate (RA) in GPC Eco-efficient and Economic

Issue of dumping CDW’s

»To assess the environmentally sustainable performance of GPC and OPC

concrete Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

5
 Introduction
»LCA is a ‘cradle to grave’ or ‘cradle to gate’ assessment technique used to evaluate
environmental impacts from raw material extraction to the application stage
» It is the policy or program applied in Construction industry [5]

Environmental degradation of GPC Environmental degradation of OPC

LCA of Recycled Aggregate Geopolymer Concrete (RAGC) ???

How Recycled Aggregate (RA) impact the LCA of GPC ??
What is the Global warming potential (GWP) of RAGC? ?
How RAGC impacts the other environmental factors ??

GWP, Acidification Potential, Photochemical Oxidants Formation, and Ozone Depletion?

 Problem Statement

E
mission of CO2 due to cement production

D isposal problem of CDW’s

High deporting cost and large disposing area

I
ncrease cloudiness in atmosphere
Causes air pollution Threats to quality of life
(*Lahore Most polluted city AQI ~ PM of 423) 7
 Objectives
The research objectives of this study are: LCA
Sustainability

T O evaluate the global warming potential of the OPC concrete

and recycled aggregate based geopolymer concrete

T O evaluate the environmental impacts of both OPC concrete

and recycled aggregate based geopolymer concrete

T O compare the life cycle assessment of OPC concrete and

recycled aggregate-based geopolymer concrete 8
 Research Significance
Research considered the use of environmental impact assessment of
eco-friendly geopolymer concrete to contribute in:

R educing the CO2 emissions by cement production

R educing the disposal problem of CDW’s

P rotection of natural resource (aggregates)

 Research Methodology
»The life cycle assessment would be conducted by the standard method of the International
Organization for Standardization ISO 14040 and 14044

02 Life Cycle Inventory

01 Goal and Scope

10
 Research Methodology
1. Goal and Scope
» Goal the impact of RAGC on the environment and
its comparison with that of ordinary concrete
» Scope extraction of the natural resources to GPC
production with processed RA
» Aluminosilicate source fly ash
» Functional unit 1m3 of RAGC of a specific
strength compared with ordinary concrete

11
 Research Methodology
2. Life Cycle Inventory Analysis (LCI)
» Data Ecoinvent database Literature
» For RAGC Demolished aggregates would be considered
» The raw material will be zero for fly ash aluminosilicate Considered as industrial waste
» The raw materials inventory for the silicate and hydroxide production will be taken from
both the literature and ecoinvent

12
13
 Research Methodology
3. Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA)
» Environmental impacts will be assessed as result of LCI analysis
» The impact would be analyzed by Open LCA developed by Green Delta
» The impact categories would be assessed by mid point approach CML 2001
» Four impact categories would be analyzed

 Photochemical Oxidants Formation

 Acidification Potential LCIA
(CML 2001)
 Global Warming Potential
 Ozone depletion
14
 Research Methodology
4. Life Cycle Interpretation
 Completeness check will be applied Identify that all the
information and data needed for interpretation is available and
complete
 Consistency check will be applied Data and method used for
LCA methodology is consistent with goal and scope of LCA study

 Conclusions and recommendation would be provided on

the basis of LCA analysis along with limitations of LCA
study
