An experimental study was carried out using in pilot-scale constructed wetland systems, operated in parallel to treat raw sewage. Each system consisted of a vertical flow (VF) unit that was filled with biochar as the main media, followed by a horizontal flow (HF) unit filled with crushed cement mort...

The adhered cement mortar in coarse aggregates and fines from demolished concrete has the potential to induce a residual cementing property upon recycling. A procedure for quantifying the contribution of recycled fines to the strength gain within the new mortar matrix is proposed. The strength gain ...
