Abstract

This research aims to investigate the use of copper slag (CS) and Egg Shell Powder (ESP) as partial substitutes in polymer composite to enhance mechanical properties and durability. Considering that the construction sector is recognized for consuming a significant amount of resources in comparison to other industries, its further expansion poses a direct danger to resource availability. This could disrupt ecosystems, lower biodiversity, and have an effect on riverine and coastal areas, which are common sources of sand. The goal is to minimize their usage, diminish pollution, and alleviate pressure on natural resources. The CS is a by-product of copper extraction and refining processes which composed of iron and silica more than 70-80%. The production of ESP from households, hotels, residential areas and from different factories contributes to environmental degradation and it contains 94-95% calcium carbonate. Thus, ESP and CS act as filler material polymer composite. Polymer composites were formulated, incorporating ESP replacement rates of 5% and 7.5% for cement, along with CS replacement rates of 40% and 60% for sand. The results show that when copper slag increases, water absorption reduces. The study's findings indicated that the best combinations considerably increased compressive strength and reduced water absorption. Optimal combinations significantly improved compressive strength and reduced water absorption.
