The results were even more impressive: the pipes reduced carbon emissions by up to 80% compared with conventional ones, while providing excellent resistance to chemical corrosion. Step by step, Europe is proving that sulfur concrete can move from the lab to the construction site, helping to build a low-carbon future while reusing an abundant industrial byproduct.n Qinjian Wang is a PhD student at Universit%u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. ir. Didier Snoeck. The PhD topic is related to sulfur as an alternative binder for construction materials, including the mixture design, function development, mechanical performance, and characterization.qinjian.wang@ulb.ben Didier Snoeck is an associate professor at the BATir Department of the Universit%u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in the field of Sustainable Structural Design. The main topics of his research are sustainable structural design, superabsorbent polymers, concrete technology, durability and sustainability, nano- and microstructural properties, self-sealing and self-healing of construction materials. didier.snoeck@ulb.beFig. 1: Applications of (a) sulfur concrete sleepers (thiotrack); (b) sulfur concrete sewer pipes (thiotube). a)b)%u00a9 Thiomaterials %u00a9 Thiomaterials
