The current study investigated the development of a sustainable thermo-chemical approach to effectively optimize MgO-waste activated GGBS formulations, using four types magnesium oxide (MgO) waste materials with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) develop binary cementitious systems (MgO-GGBS). This stems from expected complexity binder optimization outcomes into simpler analytic form, ...

Introduction The reciprocating biomass conversion reactor (RBCR) is a novel means of converting biomass to bio-oil. The RBCR is a repurposed highcompression 4-stroke internal combustion engine into which a fluidizing gas and a small volume fraction of pulverized biomass are introduced, and the crankshaft is cycled by an external energy source to supply the process heat for thermo-chemical conve...
