Structural Performance of Cinder Aggregate Lightweight Concrete Beams with Micro-reinforcement
Solid Waste Management
Conventional concrete is heavy which contributes to more dead load, resulting in higher cost of construction, more labour, difficulty in transportation of materials and so on. These impediments can be reduced by using lightweight concrete instead of the conventional concrete. In this study, an...
Hydrological study and assessment of water budget for Erbil basin, Kurdistan region, Iraq
Environmental data analysis and modelling
This research is conducted on Erbil basin, it is located in northern part of Iraq, the basin is composed of three main sub-basins which are: Northern part (Kapran), Central sub-basin and Southern part (Bashtepa) respectively. The total area of three sub-basins are approximately (3,200 km2). The main...
Analysis of the interactive effects of new urbanization and agricultural carbon emission efficiency
Ecological effects of Environmental change
Exploring the relationship between new urbanization and agricultural carbon emission is of great significance to promote the green and low-carbon development of agriculture. The urbanization level was comprehensively assessed by constructing an index system, and the agricultural carbon emission...
Water Quality Index Prediction and Classification using Hyperparameter Tuned Deep Learning Approach
Water Quality
Water quality (WQ) is hugely important for animals, humans, plants, industries, and the environment. In the past few years, the WQ has been compressed by pollution and contamination. Usually, WQ is assessed utilizing costly laboratory and arithmetical processes, making real observation ineffective...
Research on Regulatory Strategies of Green Finance and Optimization of Corporate Green Behavior under the Framework of Circular Economy
Circular economy
The green finance market, as an integral part of the circular economy, significantly influences environmental protection and sustainable development. This study explores regulatory issues concerning corporate "greenwashing" behavior in this market, aiming to devise effective regulatory strategies to...
The Impact of Climate Change on the Development of Circular Economy in China: A Perspective on Green Total Factor Productivity
Circular economy
In the process of China's transition to high-quality development, the circular economy, as a key strategy for achieving green growth, is of significant importance in addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development. This study employs the SBM-GML model to analyze the Green Total...
Gap type effect on photocatalytic degradation using newly hydrotalcite nanoposite precursor synthesized by hydrothermal method
Water and Wastewater Treatment
A novel technique involving hydrothermal synthesis was employed to prepare nanocomposite precursors of lamellar double hydroxide based basic mixed oxides. This method extended ongoing research on iron-impregnated hydrotalcite-supported nanomaterials. The iron-based Fe/MgAl-h nanocomposite was...
The influence of nZVI composites as immobilizing agents on the bioavailability of heavy metals and plant growth in mining metal-contaminated soil
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
Under the greenhouse scale, nano zero valent iron (nZVI) have been evaluated evaluated by formulation with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-nZVI), chitosan (Ch-nZVI), biochar (BC-nZVI), and smectite (SC-nZVI) at rates of 0 and 0.5 and 1% (w/w). The properties of manufactured compounds and their impact...
