The share of bio-based materials in modern construction needs to grow more rapidly due increasingly stringent environmental requirements as a direct result the climate emergency. This research aims expand use hemp concrete by replacing traditional lime binder with magnesium oxychloride cement, which provides faster setting and higher strength, opening door for industrial production. However, ne...

On the UK Continental Shelf, up to 80,000 tonnes wet weight of oily drill cuttings are produced annually. These are heterogeneous wastes generated from the petroleum drilling industry, composed of significant percentages of hydrocarbons, heavy metals and chlorides. Since 1992, the discharge of drill cuttings containing more than 1% oil-on-cuttings has been prohibited. Moreover, the extensive in...

this research paper presents the use of wasteful supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash and silica fume to conserve the cement used in concrete. the cement industry is one of the major producers of greenhouse gases and an energy user. in this study, portland cement was used as a basic cementitious material. fly ash and silica fume were used as the cement replacements by weight. the r...

recent tendencies in concrete technology have been towards to high- performance concrete with a low water-cement ratio. however, high performance concretes have some problems. one of the problems is early-age cracking due to autogenous shrinkage. this study presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the autogenous shrinkage of high-strength concrete. accordin...

experimental work was carried out to investigate the influence of impeller speed, granulation time, binder mass and their interactions on granule size distribution, mean size and binder content distribution in a conical high shear granulator. it was observed that the response of high shear granulation to changes in process parameters varies significantly from one operating condition to another....

This paper represents the parametric effects on slump and compressive strength of aluminosilicate based Geopolymer concrete using by Taguchi method. A total nine mix proportions were considered to evaluate effect sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, Solution/Binder (SB) ratio percentage superplasticizer. Results indicated that highest 165 mm 28 days 68.37 MPa was obtained for with superplasticizer...

The development of ultrathin-layer silica gel plates with a monolithic structure opens up a new dimension in thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The very small layer thickness of approximately 10 microm and the absence of any kind of binder in combination with the framework of this stationary phase lead to new and improved properties of these ultrathin-layer chromatographic (UTLC) silica-gel plate...

At present, the most commonly used building material is ordinary Portland cement (OPC). However, OPC has a negative environmental effect during synthesis, with the release of significant amount of CO2 greenhouse gas. The cement industry is responsible for 5-8% of total global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Geopolymerization is a technology capable of turning industrial wastes into strong and chem...

Concrete is probably the most extensively used construction material in the world. However, environmental concerns regarding rapid consumption of natural resources and CO2 emission during cement manufacturing process have brought pressure to reduce cement consumption by the use of cement replacement materials (CRMs). The utilization of calcined clay (metakaolin) and silica fume in concrete has ...
