Don’t you just love it when someone comes up with a discovery like this! It seems that cement made with waste sugar ash is stronger, less crumbly and can withstand high pressure than the ordinary stuff! Making cement from sugar also saves energy and reduces the pollution caused by normal cement production. Now how good is that!
The guys who have come up with this genius idea are the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and you can read in more details about the sugar cement here on their website.
This sounds a great idea – in theory. However, what would happen if there was fire in the same building as the cement has been laid? Would it melt and burn, where as normal cement would not be touched?
To be honest – I don’t know – but I very much doubt it as I presume it would all have been bonded into one solid mass. Well, that is what I gather from the NB Institute’s report – I think….
