Abstract This study is aimed to investigate the effect of carbon nanotubes on properties lightweight aggregate concrete containing expanded glass and silica aerogel. Combinations (55%) hydrophobic aerogel particles (45%) were used as aggregates. Carbon sonicated in water with polycarboxylate superplasticizer by ultrasonication energy for 3 min. Study results show that incorporating multi-wall s...

Nano-porous metallic matrixes (NMMs) offer superior surface to volume ratios as well as enhanced optical, photonic, and electronic properties to bulk metallic materials. Such behaviours are correlated to the nano-scale inter-grain metal domains that favour the presence of electronic vacancies. In this work, continuous 3D NMMs were synthesized for the first time through a simple diffusion-reduct...

Introduction: There are different methods for removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions. Adsorption based methods are among the bests. One of the most important aspects for adsorption techniques is the availability of an accessible and economical adsorbent. This study aims to investigate cadmium removal from aqueous solutions by walnuts shell waste. Materials and Methods: Walnut Shell (WS) was...

The global demand for clean water has become increasingly important in the past decade as a result of growing world population, civilization, and increase sources contaminations. Aerogels are an exceptional form porous materials with extraordinary unique properties. aerogel been fabricated from different inorganic organic incorporated variety novel compounds specific applications to enhance its...

In this review, adsorbents used in wastewater treatment and their technical feasibilities are reviewed. Adsorbents are classified as natural adsorbents, and the adsorbents obtained from industrial and agricultural wastes. They all were compared with each other condensing the metal binding capacities, costs and metal removal performances in waste water treatments. Although commercial activated c...

In the present study, silica aerogel- egg shell was synthesized for dye removal of colored wastewater. The nano composite structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra FTIR and scanning electron microscope SEM.The ability of nano composite absorption was assessed for removal basic violet 16BV16 dye from aqueous solutions and was compared with two other adsorbents such as egg...

• Comprehensive review of all approaches used to assemble aerogel-fiber materials. “In situ sol-gel” and “via pre-formed aerogel” are described evaluated. Enhanced mechanical/physical properties obtained while keeping low thermal conductivity. An overview the market future research trends identified. Silica aerogels have a unique structure that makes them promising materials for variable applic...

Due to Technological advancement cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) from computer monitors and TV sets are being replaced continuously by thinner and lightweight versions like Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) or Plasma screen monitors. As regular discarding e-waste from CRTs are continuously increasing day by day and in UK alone it is projected to reach around 100,000 tonnes/year. CRT composition consists of...
