Researchers in Australia have developed an unusual way to transform discarded coffee grounds into a building material. Used coffee grounds were processed at 350 degrees Celsius and then added to concrete, resulting in a mixture with a 29.3% increased compressive strength compared to normal concrete.
Researchers transformed residues of coffee into a type of biocoal capable of replacing part of the sand used in concrete.
Coffee grounds that end up in the trash every day may take on a completely different "life," as researchers have managed to turn them into...
Used coffee grounds were charred at 350 degrees Celsius until they became a charcoal-like biochar. That material replaced 15 percent of the sand by volume in a concrete mix, and the resulting concrete had 29.3 percent greater compressive strength than the control mix.
Researchers discovered that waste from your morning brew could revolutionize construction materials, making concrete dramatically stronger while solving a global disposal crisis.
