| Summary: | Rapid global infrastructural developments and advanced material science, amongst other
factors, have escalated the demand for concrete. Cement, which is an integral part of concrete, binds
the various individual solid materials to form a cohesive mass. Its production to a large extent emits
many tons of greenhouse gases, with nearly 10% of global carbon (IV) oxide (CO2) emanating from
cement production. This, coupled with an increase in the advocacy for environmental sustainability,
has led to the development of various innovative solutions and supplementary cementitious materials.
These aims to substantially reduce the overall volume of cement required in concrete and to
meet the consistently increasing demand for concrete, which is projected to increase as a result of
rapid construction and infrastructural development trends. Palm oil fuel ash (POFA), an industrial
byproduct that is a result of the incineration of palm oil wastes due to electrical generation in power
plants has unique properties, as it is a very reactive materials with robust pozzolanic tendencies, and
which exhibits adequate micro-filling capabilities. In this study, a review on the material sources,
affecting factors, and durability characteristics of POFA are carefully appraised. Moreover, in this
study, a review of correlated literature with a broad spectrum of insights into the likely utilization
of POFA-based eco-friendly concrete composites as a green material for the present construction of
modern buildings is presented. |
