Comprehensive sustainability assessment of Ferrock: innovations for the sustainable built environment

What is it about?

Ferrock, a novel green construction material made primarily from waste metallic iron oxide powder, shows promise for reducing carbon emissions in building projects. This study reviews Ferrock's properties, environmental impacts, economic viability, and challenges to its widespread use. Key findings highlight Ferrock's superior strength and durability compared to traditional cement, along with its ability to capture more CO2 than it emits during production. Despite these advantages, Ferrock faces obstacles like higher costs and variability in quality. This review aims to fill gaps in existing research and provide guidance for integrating Ferrock into mainstream construction practices, thereby supporting efforts to make building environments more sustainable.
