Jamia Milia Islamia, AMU invent eco-friendly cement using waste

The Civil Engineering faculties at Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) in Delhi and Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in Uttar Pradesh have developed an environmental-friendly version of cement in response to the alarming figures of cement production. It can be used to replace 5-20 per cent of cement in the construction process. Manufacturing of 1 tonne of cement can result in the release of up to 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. Dr Ibadur Rahman, Mohammad Arif, Professor Abdul Baqi, Dr M Shariq, Er Mohammad Gamal Al-Hagri, and Er Amer Saleh Ali Hasan invented the green adhesive formula. Four years ago, Dr Rahman began experimenting with and decoding nano-based modified cement and concrete composites.
