A composting toilet, using charcoal and rice husk as matrixes, requires inactivation treatment against pathogenic microorganisms derived from human feces before agricultural reuse. High pH conditions by adding calcium oxide (CaO) and wood ash is effective for lethal inactivation of pathogenic bacteria. However, quantitative information about application is limited. Therefore this study investig...

Dolomite is a double salt composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and magnesium carbonate (MgCO3). The heat treatment of CaCO3 and MgCO3 respectively generates calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO), which have antimicrobial activity. In this study, heated dolomite powder (HDP) slurry was investigated for its sporicidal activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 spores. The B. subtilis s...

The influence of gas-phase oxygen on the growth of Au nanoparticles on Mo-doped CaO films has been investigated by means of low temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Whereas at ideal vacuum conditions, only 2D Au islands develop on the oxide surface, the fraction of 3D deposits increases with increasing O2 pressure until they become the dominant specie...

As a result of increasingly rigorous environmental legislation and industry adoption waste minimization recommendations, the development recycling reuse possibilities for metal-related trash has become important.Inthis research, calcium oxide mixture calcium, iron, magnesium oxides was extracted from wastes cement factories using hydrofluoric acid. result, this research provides comprehensive p...

A solid Ca/Al composite oxide-based alkaline catalyst containing Ca(12)Al(14)O(33) and CaO was prepared by chemical synthesis and thermal activation from sodium aluminate solution and calcium hydroxide emulsion. The effect of calcination temperatures ranging from 120 °C to 1000 °C on activity of the catalyst was investigated. The catalyst calcined at 600 °C showed the highest activity with >94%...

Within photosynthetic organisms, the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II generates dioxygen from water using a catalytic Mn(4)CaO(n) cluster (n varies with the mechanism and nature of the intermediate). We report here the rational synthesis of a [Mn(3)CaO(4)](6+) cubane that structurally models the trimanganese-calcium-cubane subsite of the OEC. Structural and electrochemical compar...

Using a transient hot-wire method, the thermal conductivity of the CaO–SiO2–B2O3 mold flux system was measured. The effects of temperature, BO1.5 concentration and basicity on the thermal conductivity were considered, along with structural investigation by Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the addition of boron oxide caused both a decrement and increment of thermal conductivity, depending o...

The waste shell was utilized as a bioresource of calcium oxide (CaO) in catalyzing a transesterification to produce biodiesel (methyl ester). The economic and environmen-friendly catalysts were prepared by a calcination method at 700-1,000°C for 4 h. The heterogeneous catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the B...

Mid-infrared (IR) spectra of a series of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) gels synthesised from C3S in the presence of magnesium oxide show many similarities with the mid-IR spectra of pure C-S-H gels. However, the presence of the vibration bands attributed to brucite is observed in all spectra of C-S-H synthesised with MgO, although only the sample with the highest CaO/SiO2 ratio (1.8) reveal...
