Used Coffee: The secret to a stronger and more sustainable concrete

Traditionally, concrete is produced by mixing cement, sand, gravel, and water. However, Dr. Roychand of RMIT's School of Engineering has found an innovative way to improve its properties by using coffee grounds.

Coffee grounds, rich in organic content, cannot be mixed directly with standard concrete due to their chemical properties.

However, through a process of heating at 350 degrees, it is possible to transform these coffee grounds into a material called "coffee biochar".

Coffee biochar becomes a valuable additive to concrete. When added to the mix, the result is amazing: a 29.3 percent improvement in the compressive strength of composite concrete.

Café Usado: El secreto para un concreto más fuerte y sostenible

Tradicionalmente, el concreto se produce mezclando cemento, arena, grava y agua. Sin embargo, el Dr. Roychand de la Escuela de Ingeniería de RMIT, ha encontrado una manera innovadora de mejorar sus propiedades utilizando posos de café.

Los posos de café, ricos en contenido orgánico, no se pueden mezclar directamente con concreto estándar debido a sus propiedades químicas.

Sin embargo, mediante un proceso de calentamiento a 350 grados, se logra transformar estos posos de café en un material llamado "biochar de café".

El biochar de café se convierte en un aditivo valioso para el concreto. Cuando se agrega a la mezcla, el resultado es sorprendente: una mejora del 29.3 por ciento en la resistencia a la compresión del concreto compuesto.
