Landfill leachate is a complex wastewater with a wide range of pollutants and requires proper treatment before discharge. Landfill leachate is either treated on-site by biological and membrane processes or treated transported ...

Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhAC) are pervasive in aqueous environments, and their presence poses an ever-increasing threat to aquatic creatures and all associated living forms. Most PhACs are extremely hydrophilic ...

Pesticides pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems due to their persistent nature and adverse effects on biota. The increased detection of pesticides in various water bodies has prompted research into their ...

In a fire incident, structural members are mostly unevenly exposed to temperatures and consequently suffer uneven damage. To rehabilitate and restore these for future usage, it is essential to correctly map the temperature ...

Climate change mitigation and resource efficiency have emerged as crucial challenges for long-term sustainability of concrete. Implementing circular approach through waste valorisation in concrete production with eco-efficient ...

The problem of construction and demolition wastes can be mitigated by recycling them as aggregates in concrete. However, high absorption and poor interfacial properties due to the attached mortar from old concrete use a ...

Different property enhancement techniques have already been established to support upcycling of construction and demolition waste as aggregate in concrete. However, the most suitable and sustainable method is still unknown. ...

Ferrochrome slag aggregate concrete (FCSAC) incorporated with fly ash offers multiple benefits over FCSAC alone and natural aggregate concrete (NAC) in terms of durability and environmental impacts, without sacrificing ...

Recent research trends focus on developing bio-based (derived from agricultural byproducts) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for structural applications. Fire resistance is one of the key issues that need to be ...

Natural fibers are gaining popularity at present because they are readily available in nature and biodegradable. This study aims to determine how fiber content affects the mechanical characteristics of natural fiber-reinforced ...
