Abstract
This article analyzes the production technology of sulfur-based polymer concrete and its environmental efficiency. Compared to traditional cement-based concrete, the manufacturing process of sulfur polymer concrete significantly reduces carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, requires lower energy consumption, and enables the full utilization of excess sulfur accumulated as an industrial by-product. Additionally, the recyclability, chemical stability, and high resistance of sulfur polymers to water and acids contribute to their long-term durability, resulting in a positive environmental impact. The article further presents technological solutions to prevent gas emissions that may occur during the high-temperature remelting and polymerization processes. The research results demonstrate that sulfur-based polymer concrete holds an important place among environmentally sustainable construction materials and is evaluated as an innovative solution aligned with the green economy concept.
