Halal based sourced EM for turbidity reducing in wastewater treatment
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
Effective Microorganism (EM) technology was found as the credible solution to solve many environmental problems including wastewater issues. The EM which is in the form of EM mud ball was tested to be effectively used for ...
Potential of upgrading domestic biomass into a higher energy density via torrefaction process
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Torrefaction is a thermal treatment step in a relatively low temperature range of 240-300°C, which aims to produce a higher energy biomass in terms of low heating value (LHV) and light weight properties. Biomass in wood ...
Corrosion performance of reinforcement bar in geopolymer concrete compare with its performance in ordinary portland cement concrete: A short review
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Since decades ago, corrosion is the crucial factors for million dollars loss in construction industry. Corrosion of reinforcement bar in ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete is mainly due to chloride and acid attack and ...
The influence of curing periods on the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymer at different aging times
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
The results of the current experimental investigation indicate the significant effect of the heating periods on the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymers prepared at different alkaline liquid content at both ...
Kaolin-based geopolymers with various NaOH concentrations
(Springer Verlag, 2013-03)
Kaolin geopolymers were produced by the alkali-activation of kaolin with an activator solution (a mixture of NaOH and sodium silicate solutions). The NaOH solution was prepared at a concentration of 6-14 mol/L and was mixed ...
Influence of oxide molar ratios on kaolin geopolymers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-12)
Oxide molar ratios are the main key parameter determining the performance of a kaolin geopolymers. The kaolin composition and various mixture proportions will lead to different oxide molar ratios in geopolymer system. In ...
Mechanical and microstructural evaluations of lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete before and after exposed to elevated temperatures
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2013)
This paper presents the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of a lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) synthesized by the alkali-activation of a fly ash source (FA) before and after being exposed to ...
Study on fly ash based geopolymer for coating applications
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Geopolymer is cementitious binders that do not require the presence of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Fly ash with geopolymer formulations prepared with mixing alumino-silicate with the alkaline activator solution has ...
Mechanical properties of polymer composites with sugarcane bagasse filler
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Natural fibers reinforced polymer composites have gained more interest because of their biodegradable, light weight, less expensive sources, easy processing, high specific modulus and also environmentally friendly appeal. ...
Mechanical properties of ZTA composite using cold isostatic pressing and uniaxial pressing
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Alumina-zirconia composite is an engineering material with a great potential to be develop for application as high temperature resistance structural material. In this research, zirconia toughness alumina (ZTA) was produced ...
