Removal of heavy metals from wastewater using agricultural and industrial wastes as adsorbents

Hala Ahmed Hegazi · 30 Aug 2013

Adsorption processes are being widely used by various researchers for the removal of heavy metals from waste streams and activated carbon has been frequently used as an adsorbent. Despite its extensive use in water and wastewater treatment industries, activated carbon remains an expensive material. In recent years, the need for safe and economical methods for…

Recycled construction and demolition concrete waste as aggregate for structural concrete

Ashraf M. Wagih, Hossam Z. El-Karmoty, Magda Ebid et al. · 13 Sep 2013

In major Egyptian cities there is a surge in construction and demolition waste (CDW) quantities causing an adverse effect on the environment. The use of such waste as recycled aggregate in concrete can be useful for both environmental and economical aspects in the construction industry. This study discusses the possibility to replace natural coarse aggregate…

Urban quality of life is a notion that has been discussed recently in various studies as a response to many problems facing the new towns all over the world as well as in Egypt. The purpose of this paper is to decompose the term urban quality of life into other more precise terms such as…

Mechanical properties of graphene oxide (GO)/epoxy composites

Shivan Ismael Abdullah, M.N.M. Ansari · 4 Aug 2014

In this study, the effects of graphene oxide (GO) on composites based on epoxy resin were analyzed. Different contents of GO (1.5–6 vol.%) were added to epoxy resin. The GO/epoxy composite was prepared using the casting method and was prepared under room temperature. Mechanical tests’ results such as tensile test, impact test and hardness test…

Characterization of ceramic waste aggregate concrete

Paul O. Awoyera, Julius Musyoka Ndambuki, Joseph O. Akinmusuru et al. · 2 Dec 2016

There is a growing interest in using waste materials such as ceramics as alternative aggregate materials for construction. While other ceramic product wastes such as sanitary wares and electrical insulators have been extensively investigated, not much findings are available on ceramic wall and floor tiles wastes. Thus, the current study focuses on the mechanical characterization…
