by

Allah Ditta et al. View all

Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects

Lignocellulosic biomass is a complex natural polymer primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and various other chemical components. The cellulose in the lignocellulosic biomass can depolymerize into a nano-dimension biomaterial called nanocellulose, which possesses unique features...

Sustainable approach of utilization of limestone and treated construction wastes as aggregates in the production of high temperature resistant green concrete

by

Loganathan S et al. View all

Solid Waste Management

Natural gravel used as aggregates in the construction had a severe impact on the environment leading to scarcity in recent times. Furthermore, the resistance of such natural aggregates to crack at higher temperature zones was less. This paper investigates the above concerns on scarcity and meagre...
