MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541113004 A) filed by Sethu Institute Of Technology, Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 18, 2025, for 'development of bio-geopolymer bricks using microbially induced calcite precipitation(micp)as a susta.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S. M. Nazia Fathima; Dr. R. Tamilselvi; R. Logaraja; P. Anitha; and B. Palanikumar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention relates to the bio-geopolymer bricks using microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) as a sustainable binder, it typically includes a fly ash (1), a rice husk ash (RHA) (2), a metakaolin (3), a sodium hydroxide naoh (4), a sodium silicate solution (NA2SIO3) (5), a sporosarcina pasteurii (6), an eggshell powder (7), a biochar 10 (8), a urea (9), and water (10). This invention offers superior strength and durability by synergistically combining waste-derived geopolymerization with MICP, achieving significant reductions in CO2 emissions and energy consumption through ambient curing. This invention is applied as a sustainable, low-carbon substitute for conventional cement and fired bricks in general building construction, paver blocks, 15 and eco-friendly mortar applications."
