Foamcrete construction blocks using industrial wastes- A sustainable approach

Sustainable Construction Modelling: A Systems Engineering Approach

Modelling in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is a fundamental step for product and project delivery, and serves multiple purposes from visualization, communication, simulation, analysis, decision making, to performance assessment. For long, the AEC industry has used different types of modelling schemes. Typical examples include 2D and 3D models that capture geomet...

Research on Construction of Industrial Ecosystem Based on Sustainable Development

The establishment of industrial ecosystem is the key to realize the economical sustainable development. This article analyses the related literatures of industry ecosystem, and points out the industry ecosystem's hierarchy. Then on the basis of theoretical analysis, the article proposes the building strategy of the industry ecosystem, from three aspects of the microcosmic, the intermediate and ...

Composting Agricultural and Industrial Wastes

Sustainable Production of Bio-Combustibles from Pyrolysis of Agro-Industrial Wastes

Evaluation of the sustainability of biomass pyrolysis requires a thorough assessment of the product yields and energy densities. With this purpose, a laboratory scale fixed bed reactor (FBR) was adapted from the standard Gray-King (GK) assay test on coal to conduct fixed bed pyrolysis experiments on agricultural and agro-industrial by-products. The present study provides results on the pyrolysi...

Assessment of Toxicity of Industrial Wastes Using Crop Plant Assays

Environmental pollution has a harmful action on bioresources, including agricultural crops. It is generated through many industrial activities such as mining, coal burning, chemical technology, cement production, pulp and paper industry, etc. The toxicity of different industrial wastes and heavy metals excess was evaluated using crop plant assays (germination and hydroponics seedlings growth te...
