Natural rocks of magmatic origin are alternative precursors in alkali-activated materials and provide opportunities the search for more environmentally friendly binders compared to portland cement. The pumice is one these its amorphous structure chemical composition make it candidates as a precursor producing geopolymer binder when finely ground. Since majority reserves located Turkey increases...

background: the presence of heavy metals in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems causes harmful effects to living organisms in the environment. this research aimed to determine the potential of activated pumice stone (aps) as a sorbent for the removal of cd, cu, and zn from wastewater. methods: this research was conducted during 2013 on a laboratory scale. the study was performed using batch expe...

growing demand of invisible braces byesthetically conscious patients has led to remarkable inventions in materials for esthetic labial archwires. archwires with excellent optical clarity and mechanical properties comparable to conventional archwires have been manufactured by almost all the leading companies of orthodontic products in the past two decades, but their clinical use is still limited...

Abstract Melt inclusions readily rupture and form gas bubbles during explosive volcanic eruptions, but their role as a source remains enigmatic. Here, we examined pumice texture generated by the instantaneous bursting of melt 946 CE Plinian eruption at Baekdusan. The burst produced non-sheared, super-vesicular (>80 vol.% voids) bubble pockets, occupying volume fractions 6–24% within Millenni...
