Dear Abdullah Imtiaz
One of the fields you can work on is producing cement by using Blue Planet Technology. This method tries to eliminate or diminish Co2 that exists in limestone.
Mehran Shahpari kindly guide me what is blue planet technology and how I can work on (means which field)
Dear Abdullah Imtiaz
There are several techniques regarding Co2 capturing in limestone. One of these techniques can be found in the following article:
Article Carbon capture via accelerated weathering of limestone: Mode...
The cement that is produced with this limestone can be utilized in concrete ingredients. I recommend searching about Blue Planet Technology and Carbon Dioxide Capturing techniques if you are interested.
Imrose B. Muhit Sir. I read many papers and I concluded that (Alkali activated fly ash concrete blended with slag.) can be researched.
what do you think that about this?

Abdullah Imtiaz You can work on 'Self-healing Concrete Technology'. Best wishes.
The environmental footprints of the cement production industry and the mining of sand suitable for construction are catastrophically high. You can focus on reducing the need for these essential elements. The water demand for concrete production is also high and can be reduced through material engineering.
You can focus on various concrete self-healing methods to lengthen the service life of cement-based structures. One such example is this:

You can also focus on more niche aspects, such as durability enhancement for specific environments (E.g., acidic, alkaline, wet-dry cycles, freeze-thawing etc.). Improving structural resistance to such conditions would reduce the energy and natural resources required to repair or replace damaged structures, and would inherently be environmentally friendly.
Well, I recommend you to look up at these areas:
1) Using metakaolin (MK) in strengthening the concrete.
2) Glass concrete
