Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript is acceptable after minor text editing revisions to improve the article's quality and force it more convenient for the reader.

The above remark applies the following:
1)  more extended descriptions of some Figures and Tables,


2) it would be valuable to familiarize the reader with what parameters 3d, 7d, and 28d mean, as in the sentence:
"After curing to 3d, 7d and 28d respectively, the specimens were taken out and tested for compressive strength with a correction factor of 0.95",


3) if it is not strictly confidential, it would be practical to introduce the C0.3 and A05 grades, as not every reader can access Chinese documents with standards,


4) the "stomata" word has a rather biological than technological connotation,


5) it is worth re-reading the manuscript text and tuning some sentences to be more enlightening, e.g., "These two together lead to the above phenomenon.", or with a vocabulary variety, e.g., "When the foam machine jet pipe sprays uniform foam, takes its foam for foam concrete mixing, foam performance is shown in Table 7."

Reviewer 2 Report

 

1. The paper should be updated to include more recent references, preferably from the last 2 or 3 years.

2. The introduction should clearly explain the key limitations of prior work that are relevant to this paper.

3. The authors should explain clearly what  the differences are between the prior work and the solution presented in this paper.

4. The experiments should be updated to include some comparison with newer studies. 

5. There is not enough discussion of the experimental results. 

6. Some text must be added to discuss the future work or research opportunities

7. On what basic the water cement ratio of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 is taken

8. Figure 1. The, t must be capita

9. Write the proerties of kitchen waste oil trap.
