    Abstract Alkali-activated slag (AAS) presents a promising alternative to ordinary Portland cement due to its cost effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and satisfactory durability characteristics. In this paper, cow dung waste was recycled as a renewable natural cellulose fiber, modified with alkali, and then added to AAS mortar. The physico-chemical characteristics of raw and modified cow dung fibers were determined through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). Investigations were conducted on the dispersion of cow dung fibers in the AAS matrix, as well as the flowability, strength, and autogenous shrinkage of AAS mortar with varying cow dung fiber contents. The results indicated that modified fiber has higher crystallinity and surface roughness. The ultrasonic method showed superior effectiveness compared to pre-mixing and after-mixing methods. Compared with raw cow dung fibers, modified fibers led to an increase of 11.3% and 36.3% of the 28 d flexural strength and compressive strength of the AAS mortar, respectively. The modified cow dung fibers had a more significant inhibition on autogenous shrinkage, and the addition of 2 wt% cow dung fibers reduced the 7 d autogenous shrinkage of the AAS paste by 52.8% due to the "internal curing effect." This study provides an alternative value-added recycling option for cow dung fibers as a potential environmentally friendly and sustainable reinforcing raw material for cementitious materials, which can be used to develop low autogenous shrinkage green composites.

    Abstract Since the advent of photocatalytic degradation technology, it has brought new vitality to the environmental governance and the response to the energy crisis. Photocatalysts harvest optical energy to drive chemical reactions, which means people can use solar energy to complete some resource-consuming activities by photocatalysts, such as environmental governance. In recent years, researchers have tried to combine photocatalyst TiO₂ with building materials to purify urban air and obtained good results. One of the important functions of photocatalysts is to degrade organic pollutants in water through light energy, but this technology has not been reported in the practical application areas. To extend this technology to practical application areas, photocatalytic concrete for degrading pollutants in waters was proposed and demonstrated for the first time in this paper. The photocatalytic concrete proposed based on the K-g-C₃N₄ shows a strong ability to degrade the organic dyes. According to the experiment results, the angle of light source plays an important role in the process of photocatalytic degradation, while waters with pH value of 6.5–8.5 hardly influenced the degradation of organic dyes. When the angle of light source is advantageous for photocatalytic concrete to absorb more visible light, more organic dyes will be degraded by photocatalytic concrete. The degradation rate of methylene blue could reach about 80% in ½ hour under desirable conditions and is satisfied compared with that of reported works. This study implicates that photocatalytic concrete can effectively degrade organic dyes in water. The influences of changes in the water environment hardly affect the degradation of organic pollutants, which means photocatalytic concrete can be widely used in green infrastructures to achieve urban sewage treatment.
