Description
Circular Transformation of Coal Residues into Value-Added Composite Materials
The research demonstrated a viable pathway for converting coal-processing residues and other industrial waste streams into durable, value-added composite materials for potential construction applications. The work supports circular economy objectives by reducing waste disposal liabilities while creating opportunities for future pilot-scale and commercial development.
