The introduced limits on carbon dioxide emissions by the European Union encourage experimental work on new-generation materials containing smaller amounts of clinker. Currently, silica fly ash from hard coal combustion is widely used in cement and co...
Limestone flour is used in a variety of industrial sectors such as power and heat generation, glass-making, paper-making, the construction industry and construction materials manufacturing, the production of agriculture, plastics and rubber goods, as...
The use of suitable secondary raw materials as fillers in progressive, protective agents primarily intended for horizontal concrete construction is very effective not only from the ecological but also from the economic point of view. The impact of us...
The main goal of the research was to determine whether it was possible to reduce the cement content in mortar without compromising strength parameters. This is crucial for reducing the carbon footprint associated with cement production. In this artic...
In the article, the authors presented the results of research on the assessment of the effect of selected mineral additives on the strength properties of the standard mortar. The modification of the composition of the standard mortar made on the basi...
In this article, the authors present the results of their research on assessing the effect of selected mineral additives on the alkaline reactivity of aggregates. The main objective of this research was to check whether the reactivity of aggregates t...
Chlorobenzene is an industrial chemical with relatively high vapor pressure and has been used in the past to produce pesticide DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane). In this study, chlorobenzene was demonstrated to be an effective fumigant against tw...
This study aims to obtain protein fractions, such as albumin, globulin, prolamin, and glutelin, from jackfruit leaf flour and protein concentrate (LPC). The protein fractions were characterised based on their protein content, amino acid profile, hydr...
This paper deals with the possibility of using different types of waste glass powder in high-performance concrete (HPC) mixtures as a fine fraction replacement. Subsequently, both fractions are used in this research in concrete as a substitute for fi...
This study presents the development of stannous chloride (SnCl2)-modified glass substrates for biomolecule immobilization and their application in fabricating sensor chips for label-free interferometric biosensors. The glass modification process was...
This work is concerned with the study of the influence of impactor’s velocity parameters, impactor’s geometry, the target plate properties, and thickness, on the response of a tropical wood plastic composite (WPC) Azobé/urea formal...
This paper presents an innovative application for spent coffee grounds (SCGs) used as filler for the formulation of lightweight clay ceramic aggregates (LWA). LWA can be used for urban and agricultural purposes as a sustainable solution. Spent coffee...
Bread is a popular food that is widely consumed worldwide but has a short shelf life. Besides that, when incorporating prebiotics and calcium, aging mechanisms accelerate, further shortening the shelf-life. The objective of this work was to evaluate...
In order to improve the properties of wood flour (WF)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) 3D-printed composites, WF was treated with a silane coupling agent (KH550) and acetic anhydride (Ac2O), respectively. The effects of WF modification and the addition of acr...
The increasing complexity and production volume of glass-fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) present significant recycling challenges. This paper explores a potential use for mechanically recycled GFRP by blending it with high-density polyethylene (HDPE...
In this study, we compared the chemical-physical, antibacterial, and cytotoxicity properties of silico-aluminous and silicate materials for outdoor (green roof, planted walls) and indoor (urban farms, indoor microgreen gardens) cultivation purpose in...
This research focused on the obtainment of sustainable lightweight aggregates (LWAs) for agronomic application. The cleaner production is based on saving matter through the valorization of waste available in industry as a substitute of clays into the...
This review, complemented by empirical investigations, delves into the intricate world of industrial powders, examining their elastic properties through diverse methodologies. The study critically assesses Young’s modulus (E) across eight diffe...
The design of a photocatalytic process must consider intrinsic and extrinsic parameters affecting its overall efficiency. This study aims to outline the importance of balancing several factors, such as radiation source, total irradiance, photon flux,...
Polylactic acid (PLA)/polybutylene succinate (PBS)/wood flour (WF) biocomposites were fabricated by in situ reactive extrusion with coupling agents. Methylenediphenyl 4,4’-diisocyanate (MDI) and maleic anhydride (MA) were used as coupling agent...
Globally, over 350 million tonnes of thermoplastic waste are generated annually, with more than 60% either landfilled or mismanaged. This attracts innovative pathways to increase their recyclability, among which particulate-filled recycled thermoplas...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival rates and fermentation performance of three freeze-dried lactic acid bacterial cultures previously isolated from Ghanaian traditional fermented milk. LAB cultures, i.e., Lactobacillus delbrueckii...
The intensive development of the polyurethanes industry and limited resources (also due to the current geopolitical situation) of the raw materials used so far force the search for new solutions to maintain high economic development. Implementing the...
In light of the environmental impact of disposable products made from petroleum-based plastics, this study focused on developing biodegradable foam trays made from a starch (PS) derived from potato waste and beer malt flour (BMBF). The objective of t...
There is growing consumer and food industry interest in plant protein-based foods. However, quality evolution of plant protein-based meat analog (MA) is still a rarely studied subject. In this study, wheat and rice flour-based batter systems were use...
A biofloc technology-based 75-day indoor growth trial in an 80 L glass aquaria was conducted to evaluate the effects of two different carbon sources (sugarcane bagasse, SB, and wheat flour, WF) on the biofloc composition, bacterial abundance, and gro...
