UAE turns desert sand into eco-friendly bricks using nearly half the cement

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have engineered eco-friendly bricks using desert sand and various industrial by-products. These bricks boast enhanced sulfate resistance when compared to traditional cement options. An innovative curing process at room temperature minimizes energy use, offering a sustainable alternative to Portland cement. However, further industrial evaluations are essential for these bricks to gain traction in the market.
