Million tons of waste glass is being generated annually all over the world. Once the glass becomes a waste it is disposed as landfills, which is unsustainable as this does not decompose in the environment. Glass is principally composed of silica. Use of milled (ground) waste glass in concrete as par...

Biochar is a promising material for efficient removal of toxic metals from wastewater to meet standards for discharge into surface water. We characterized adsorption behaviour of willow (Salix alba) wood (WW) and cattle manure (CM) and their biochars, willow wood biochar (WWB) and cattle manure bioc...

Rice husk ash (RHA) is a good supplementary cementitious material for concrete production, as it requires low energy and emits negligible greenhouse gas during processing and service life as well as it shows high pozzolanic reactivity. The pozzolanic reactivity of RHA depends on its amorphous silica...

This paper investigated the stabilization efficacy of alkali-activated ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) for a marine soft clay, compared with that of portland cement (PC). The influence of activators, including NaOH, Na2CO3, carbide slag (CS), NaOH-CS, Na2CO3-CS, and Na2SO4-CS, on the sta...

Chromium-rich tannery sludge generated from tanneries has the potential to become a serious environmental burden in Bangladesh and a promising avenue for disposal of this sludge is by stabilizing it in clay brick products. But for sustainable industrial application of such technique it needs to be e...

In this study, in-situ treatment using dry jet mixing construction method and SPC (single superphosphate and calcium oxide) new binder are used to solidify/stabilize a heavy metal contaminated site soil with relatively high content of organic matters. Time-dependent field performance of the soils at...

The paper reports experimental research regarding the mechanical characteristics of concrete reinforced with natural cellulosic fibers like jute, sisal, sugarcane, and coconut. Each type of natural fiber, with an average of 30 mm length, was mixed with a concrete matrix in varying proportions of 0.5...

Every year, the world is producing around 100 million tons of waste glass (WG), the majority of them are going to landfills that create massive environmental problems. One approach to solve this problem is to transform waste glass into construction materials. Glass is recyclable; however, the meltin...

Saline-alkali soil has become significant problem for global agriculture and food security as these soils have poor physicochemical conditions and reduce crop production by causing a wide range of physiological and biochemical changes in plants. More than 800 million hectares (Mha) of land throughou...

Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) has been pitched as a feasible supplement that can ease the sustainability issues associated with cementitious materials. In this respect, SCBA has been well researched with over 100 journal publications. However, there is a scarcity of comprehensive reviews detailing th...

Recently, as a supplement of cement, the utilization of pozzolanic materials in cement and concrete manufacturing has increased significantly. This study investigates the scope to use pozzolanic wastes (slag, palm oil fuel ash and rice husk ash) as an alkali activated binder (AAB) that can be used a...
