In response to environmental challenges and primary resource scarcity, sustainable approaches that rely on recycling and reusing waste materials are becoming valuable and highly appealing options in modern society. This paper deals with the usage of...
The expansion, cracking and deterioration of properties during utilisation and solidification of municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash are key problems that are caused by the reaction of metallic aluminium in the bottom ash in the highly alka...
In this work, the impact resistance of three zirconia ceramics was investigated: two yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP and 1.5Y-TZP) and a ceria-stabilized-zirconia (Ce-TZP) composite. The impact resistance was evaluated through drop-ball impact tes...
The present study analyzes experimental data using qualitative and quantitative methods to identify significant statistical changes. These methods were employed to evaluate the results from the structural characterization of annealed TiWN and TiWC co...
Zirconolite is a wasteform that can immobilize Pu. Herein, zirconolites comprising Ce as a Pu simulant and Al as a charge compensator of Ce/Pu were synthesized by sintering raw CaO, ZrO2, TiO2, CeO2, and Al2O3 powder mixtures at 1400 °C in static...
This study investigates the thermal shock behavior of three Al2O3-SiO2 commercial insulating refractory materials (JM23, JM26, and JM28) used in high-temperature industries (>1000 °C). Thermal shock resistance was evaluated through experimenta...
The direct hot modification and subsequent preparation of qualified building materials from molten slag has gained significant attention at present due to its characteristics of saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions. Molten silicomanganese slag, d...
In this work, a new methodology for dispersing metal particles supported in clay has been described. For this purpose, a sepiolite has been modified by a microwave-assisted treatment to increase the surface area and pore volume due to the progressive...
The technological development of ceramic production during the early modern period in the Iberian Peninsula is a crucial topic in historical archaeological research. The present study analyzes pottery from Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia, focusing on...
This work focuses on the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) to be used as a photocatalyst, preparing a blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) extract as a reducing agent, zinc chloride as a precursor, and NaOH as precipitating agent (1,...
