In many countries large deposits of copper with no locally established copper based industries occur because known methods for extraction are prohibitively expensive and unaffordable. This study reports on an affordable and ...

This paper presents findings of an experimental investigation on sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) activated calcined clay e Portland cement blends in sulphuric acid media. Calcined clays were blended with Ordinary Portland Cement ...

Blended cements are preferred to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in construction industry due to costs and technological and environmental benefits associated with them. Prevalence of significant quantities of carbon dioxide ...

There is a growing need in the construction industry to improve transfer and durability aspects of Portland pozzolana cement. Ureolytic bacteria have recently emerged as potential micro-organisms well known for precipitation ...

Cement-based materials are subject to degradation during their service life. Most of the structural failures have been associated with corrosion of the rebar due to chloride ingress, alkali aggregate reaction, and/or sulfate ...

The feasibility of using Pennisetum clandestinum biomass as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Zn2+ was investigated in batch studies. The Freundlich, Langmuir,Dubinin Raduskevich and Temkin adsorption isotherms were ...

Cementitious materials are subject to degradation when subjected to corrosive chloride media. This paper reports the experimental results on corrosion studies conducted on a potential cementitious material, PCDC, made ...

In many countries large deposits of copper with no locally established copper based industries occur because known methods for extraction are prohibitively expensive and unaffordable. This study reports on an affordable and ...

This paper reports leach and/or intake of SO42−, Cl−, Ca2+, Na+, and K+ from and/or into cement mortar cubes made from a novel cementious material in naturally encountered environmental simulated media. The paper also ...
