Utilizing rice husk ash as a bio-waste material in geopolymer composites with aluminium oxide
Biowaste
Permanent damages and spalling occur in conventional concrete due to high temperatures. Also concrete loses its compressive strength amounting to about 50 to 75% of the original strength as reported in most of the research works. As opting for high grade of concrete leads to higher costs and emits...
Utilizing Recycled Nanomaterials as a Partial Replacement for Cement to Create High-Performance Concrete
Solid Waste Management
The world is witnessing a boom-in construction industry due to urbanization which leads to over-exploitation of primary resource to match the demands and also increase the land pollution. The advent of nano engineering technology has a significant impact on cementitious materials, particularly...
Effect of biochar on tungsten bioavailability and uptake grown in a soil with artificially tungsten contaminated
Environmental Toxicology and Biogeochemistry of Ecosystems
Tungsten (W) is an emerging contaminant because of its potential toxicity to humans, and biochar (BC) is widely used for soil heavy metal remediation. However, W-biochar-plant interactions remain unknown. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of rice-husk BC on W uptake by lettuce...
Research on the comprehensive evaluation of collaborative governance effect of environmental pollution in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration based on low-carbon constraints
Environmental Management and Policies
This paper selects a total of 24 evaluation indicators, including the low carbon constraint, the driving force, the pressure and the status of collaborative governance, to build an evaluation index system. On the basis of low carbon constraints, a spatial niche fitness model was constructed by using...
