Hydrochar from organic waste as a low-carbon cement substitute in paste backfill systems by Álvaro Amado-Fierro, Antonio Luis Marqués Sierra, Teresa A. Centeno

“…In this study, hydrochar produced via mild hydrothermal carbonization (195 °C for 3 h) of stabilized organic waste from a mechanical-biological treatment plant is proposed as a binder alternative.Experimental results show that hydrochar acts as a rheology modifier, allowing tailored control of viscosity and setting time. For each 1 wt % of cement replaced, viscosity increased by 0.04 Pa·s, with delays in initial and final setting times of 0.3 and 0.2 h, respectively. …”
