A review of eco-friendly functional road materials

Eco-friendly Blocks by Blended Materials

In spite of broad improvements in construction technology, cement is still stayed as binding material for construction purposes. Cement industries are the main sources for the contribution of carbon dioxide (co2) into the atmosphere. So, there is a need to use new materials as binders (green binders) in substitute for cement, which leads to reducing the production of cement. In this study, fly ...

Eco-friendly high-performance silicide thermoelectric materials

Silicide-based thermoelectrics are examples of cost-efficient and environmentally friendly new energy materials, which can be used for power-generation applications in the range of 500–800 K. We review the research focusing on the exploration of n-typeMg2IV-based solid solutions (IV= Si, Ge and Sn) and summarize the most prominent discoveries achieved so far in their studies. Owing to their sup...

Cactus an eco-friendly material for wastewater treatment: A review

Renewable approaches involving the use of natural materials for pollutant removal from wastewaters can offer a favorable solution fitting well with the definition of sustainability. Materials from biological origin (Bean, Moringa, Maize, etc.) have been investigated for their potential use for wastewater treatment. Interestingly, cactus, an abundant plant, offers various options for the treatme...

Research on the Parameters of Environment-Friendly Recycled Road Materials

The feasibility of propagating road materials in the use of contracture wastes especially contented great amount waste bricks were researched in three aspects: Performance of recycled aggregate, mechanical properties of renewable road materials, compression splitting indexes. Conclusions are as following: recycled aggregates contenting great amount waste bricks in place of natural aggregates ar...
