    Biochar-Based Cement and Concrete for Sustainable Construction provides a thorough overview of the use of biochar in cementitious materials. This innovative approach has shown significant potential for carbon sequestration and enhancing concrete strength through improved hydration and integration into the hardened matrix. The book serves as a crucial resource, offering current insights and practical applications for eco-efficient construction materials. Furthermore, the volume stimulates research into future developments, relevant to interdisciplinary audiences in both academia and industry. It includes up-to-date guidance on manufacturing, environmental considerations, and practical application examples.

    Author Biography

    Prof. Tsang is a leading scientist in waste-to-resource technology, hazardous waste treatment, and carbon capture and utilization. Over the years, he has published more than 500 peer-reviewed papers in the top 10% of journals and has been invited to deliver keynote speeches or to chair seminars at international conferences. He was also awarded as a 2021 Highly Cited Researcher (Clarivate Analytics) for both Engineering and Environment and Ecology, with his professional contributions being recognized by local and international communities. He serves as Associate Editor for Science of the Total Environment, Critical Reviews in Environmental Science & Technology, Journal of Environmental Management, Journal of Hazardous Materials. Dr. Zhu is currently the EBI-Shell fellow at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley. He received his PhD from the University of Leeds with a thesis on the topic of morphological and structural changes of C-S-H. He has rich experience in the study of cementitious materials and published more than 50 papers in the Top Journals in this field. In the Ph.D. thesis, he explained the root causes for the morphological changes of C-A-S-H gel in the presence of high-volume supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) at the atomic level. With the experimental observations from SS NMR and TEM-EDX, the structural-dependent nature of C-A-S-H gel in blended cements is revealed. He will take the tenured academic position at the Beijing University of Technology at the end of 2024.
