Study of biochar in cementitious materials for developing green concrete composites by Ravi Patel, Jarvis Stobbs, Bishnu Acharya

“…Moreover, the optimum sample has shown lowest water absorption among all other samples which indicated reduced porosity in the concrete with biochar introduction. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the more production of calcium-silicate-hydrate hydration products for the optimum biochar-augmented concrete composites which resulted in high strength concrete formation. …”
