Researchers transformed 2D kaolinite into 3D amorphous cement using chemical reactions in an alkaline medium. This breakthrough creates a sustainable, CO2-free alternative to traditional cement, ...

The objective of this work is to evaluate the use of silica fume captured in bag filters on the mechanical and physical properties, durability and microstructure of a high-performance structural ...

The Design of Experiment (DOE) technique was used to assess the impact of factors such as silica fume, bamboo fibers, and jute fibers on concrete strength. The Box–Behnken design of Response Surface ...

The researchers repeated this process and explored mixes made of many materials and fibers, like polyvinyl alcohol, fly ash, silica fume and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. The ...

This process was then repeated, and the team made different mixes with materials like polyvinyl alcohol, fly ash, silica fume and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. The resulting ...

The researchers repeated this process and explored mixes made of many materials and fibers, like polyvinyl alcohol, fly ash, silica fume, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. The ...

Artificial pozzolanas include flyash, shales, diatomaceous earth, industrial byproducts (silica fume, granulated slag), rice husk ash and calcined clays. Fly ash produced from coal combustion is the ...

cadmium and other toxic metals present fume hazards. Other noxious fumes, depending upon the base metal being welded and the welding rods used, can include the oxides of nitrogen and carbon, copper, ...
