Abstract


Air quality has deteriaoted significantly over the past two decades, today pollution is one of the largest risk factors contributing to the disease’s burden, Air pollution affects individual health of citizens, increases mortality and morbidity rates and contributes in climate changes. So, in this paper we have used titanium-dioxide-infused concrete, which can remove smog from air when exposed to sunlight and ultraviolet lights. This technology is based on particles of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) which is infused in concrete, in this process TiO2 acts as a photocatalyst means when TiO2 comes in contact of sunlight it starts eating smog from air and make air pollution free. In this paper we have concentrated on the impact of titanium dioxide on the compressive strength of M20 grade of cement, and review shows that the 1% of Titanium dioxide is ideal for compressive strength of cement further augmentation of Titanium dioxide decline the compressive strength of cement.

 

Keywords: Titanium-dioxide-infused concrete, photocatalyst, Ultraviolet Light
