Most bituminous adhesives or binders that are used for pavement materials are derived mainly from fossil fuels. Due to the availability of large quantities of biorenewable sources such as triglyceride oils, proteins, starch, and other carbohydrates from different organic sources, there are virtuous technical and economic prospects in utilizing them to produce bio-binders. Recently, through the ...

The aim of this work was to explore the possibility of utilizing BFI as a tool for classifying, grouping and ranking binders based on performance in ameliorating capping and lamination in paracetamol tablets. Binders from different origins (starches, celluloses, natural gums, and synthetic gums) were used via wet granulation at concentrations ranging from 1.0 12.5% w/w to make paracetamol table...

A new group of MgO-bearing binders has been developed recently which showed improved sustainability and technical performance compared to Portland cement (PC). However, the application of these MgO-bearing binders in the Solidification/Stabilisation (S/S) techniques is very limited. This study investigates the three-year performance of a highly contaminated soil treated by in-situ S/S using MgO...

AIM This study was conducted to examine the potential of mycotoxin binder in ceasing zearalenone (ZEN) effect on mice reproduction. ZEN mycotoxin can induce reactive oxygen species that may cause damage and cell death. ZEN is estrogenic so that it may affect the reproductive organs failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mycotoxin binder administration to female mice exposed to ZEN was aimed to count ...

An important factor in the development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is use cheap and sustainable materials. Sodium lignosulfonate, a lignin derivative, demonstrated here as an attractive, “green”, water-soluble, potentially cost-effective binder for hard carbon anodes SIBs. A comparison its battery cycling performance made against other binders including sodium carboxymethyl cellulose lignin,...

Phosphate control is still a great challenge in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and in spite of the great improvements in dialysis techniques, achievement of the goals for mineral metabolism control is still far from ideal. Aluminum hydroxide has been largely abandoned due to the high risk of aluminum toxicity, while the use of calcium-based phosphate binders may cause hypercalcemia, overzealous ...

Green coal or bio-coal is produced with rich biodegradable materials, elaborated from agricultural and household residues a high percentage of carbon. This green charcoal (fuel briquettes) an alternative to charcoal. Well known for its contribution greenhouse gas emissions, one the causes tree felling. The valorization waste by manufacture biofuels could be use general objective present study n...

The type and the amount of binders decisively influence the characteristics of tablets prepared by wet granulation procedure. Commonly used binders like acacia, gelatin, starch and hydrolyzed starch have natural origin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new binder extracted from Hibiscus esculentus (Okra gum) in tableting. binder Hibiscus esculentus gum was extracted ...

In this paper, the effect of adding recycled glass powder (RGP) as a third component in polymer modified bitumen is studied. RGP and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is added to the base bitumen in order to prepare modified binders and mixtures. The initial study is performed to determine physical properties of unmodified, SBR modified and RGP-SBR modified asphalt binders which prove RGP's compat...
