Earth-Based Building Incorporating Sargassum muticum Seaweed: Mechanical and Hygrothermal Performances

چکیده

Once the tide recedes and leaves a significant amount of stranded seaweed on coast, marine macroalgae pose serious threat to surrounding area. Through this work, we considered large-scale application in building construction. For first time studied impact incorporating Sargassum mitucum fiber replacement flax used for standard structural cob. Thus, cob specimens were elaborated analyzed evaluate their compressive hygrothermal performances. It was found that strength water vapor resistance factors decreased with algae content. Additionally, obtained results showed made muticum presented better thermal (insulation inertia) hygroscopic properties than those fiber. Indeed, straw by lead reduction conductivity 38% when compared 2.5% Consequently, numerical simulation energy needs buildings an algae-based flax-based This study can contribute global environmental economic issue, i.e., valorization brown large scale. worldwide knows largest sea sargassum extent measures over 8850 km2. huge mass brownish is expanding every year, which now covers area from Africa Caribbean. weighs more 20 million tons extends Gulf Mexico west coast Africa. We show algae, are as wastes, have ability improve mechanical performance cob-based material.

Antioxidant, Antiproliferative, and Antiangiogenesis Effects of Polyphenol-Rich Seaweed (Sargassum muticum)

In the present study, we evaluated the effect of brown seaweeds Sargassum muticum methanolic extract (SMME), against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines proliferation. This algae extract was also evaluated for reducing activity and total polyphenol content. The MTT assay results indicated that the extracts were cytotoxic against breast cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner, wit...

Green biosynthesis and characterization of magnetic iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles using seaweed (Sargassum muticum) aqueous extract.

The synthesis of nanoparticles has become a matter of great interest in recent times due to their various advantageous properties and applications in a variety of fields. The exploitation of different plant materials for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles is considered a green technology because it does not involve any harmful chemicals. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) were s...

Native pipefish Entelurus aequoreus are promoted by the introduced seaweed Sargassum muticum in the northern Wadden Sea, North Sea

After the major loss of eelgrass habitats in the 1930s the snake pipefish Entelurus aequoreus was considered to be rare in the Wadden Sea (south-eastern North Sea, German Bight). We hypothesize that a sudden increase in pipefish abundance observed in the area since 2004 is related to new habitats provided by the introduced Japanese seaweed Sargassum muticum. SCUBA observations conducted near th...

Facilitative effects of introduced Pacific oysters on native macroalgae are limited by a secondary invader, the seaweed Sargassum muticum

a r t i c l e i n f o Introduced habitat-providing organisms such as epibenthic bivalves may facilitate the invasion and expansion of further non-native species which may modify the effects of the primary invader on the native system. In the sedimentary intertidal Wadden Sea (southeastern North Sea) introduced Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) have overgrown native blue mussel beds (Mytilus e...

Valorization of Sargassum muticum Biomass According to the Biorefinery Concept

The biorefinery concept integrates processes and technologies for an efficient biomass conversion using all components of a feedstock. Sargassum muticum is an invasive brown algae which could be regarded as a renewable resource susceptible of individual valorization of the constituent fractions into high added-value compounds. Microwave drying technology can be proposed before conventional etha...
