Internal sulfate attack can be caused by the gypsum residues present in fine recycled aggregates (FRA). Asopposed to the better known external sulfate attack or Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF), the sulfates inthis context are provided by a gypsum contamination of the aggregates. Mortars made with contami-nated FRA were subjected to different con...

The proposed method of ground tire rubber (GTR) utilization involves the application of trans-polyoctenamer rubber (TOR), a commercially available waste rubber modifier. The idea was to investigate the influence of various curing additives (sulfur, N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS), dibenzothiazole disulfide (MBTS) and di-(2-ethyl)hexy...

In recent years, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has been perpetrated across human medicine, animals destined for zootechnical productions and companion animals. Apart from increasing the resistance rate of numerous microorganisms and generating multi-drug resistance (MDR), the nonrational administration of antibiotics causes sudden changes i...
Large cities in developing countries are facing the challenge of rapid urban population growth, which results in increasing waste generation. In Nairobi, the solid waste situation is characterized by low coverage of collection, pollution from uncontrolled dumping, inefficient public services, unregulated and uncoordinated private sector operators a...

The present work is focused on pyrolysis of polystyrene waste for production of combustible hydrocarbons. The experiments were performed in an indigenously made furnace in the presence of a laboratory synthesised copper oxide. The pyrolysis products were collected and characterised. The Fourier transform infrared spectra showed that the liquid frac...

Municipal solid waste has become a serious problem because of rapid urbanization and great economic growth. As a result of these, huge impacts on the environment lead to a lot of problems not only air, soil or water pollution but human health too. One of the solutions to manage MSW problem is incineration with energy recovery that can reduce a larg...
