Abstract This paper creates hydraulic binders using waste and a low energy input. Cements are produced with bauxite refining residue (red mud-RM), blended limestone lime, fused at temperatures from 600 to 1200 °C. The Saudi RM investigated has significant Al Si but Ca. Therefore, lime (CaO) (CaCO 3 ) used, as source of calcium, harvest cementing hydrates.When calcining alone, reactive aluminium...

Calcinated egg shell (Egg-CaO), of which the main component is calcium oxide, was evaluated in the forms of powder and aqueous solutions for their efficacies as disinfectants against avian influenza virus (AIV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), Salmonella Infantis and Escherichia coli. Egg-CaO powder inactivated these viruses within 3 min in the presence of...

Neutron diffraction and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to probe the structure of phosphate glass biomaterials of general composition (CaO)0.5-x(Na2O)x(P2O5)0.5 (x = 0, 0.1 and 0.5). The results suggest that all three glasses have structures based on chains of Q2 phosphate groups. Clear structural differences are observed between the glasses containing Na2O and CaO. The P-...

Using a novel experimental procedure in the field of ceramics/materials science that is based on the precise microanalysis (scanning electron microscopy, coupled with wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy) of the phases that are present in equilibrated specimens, the solid-state compatibility relations in the subsystem MgAl2O4–CaAl4O7–CaO– MgO and the melting relationships in the subsystems MgAl2O...

Lime system has a chemical composition CaO, which is known as thermodynamically stable. The purpose here is to explore further possible phases under pressure, by means of variable-composition ab initio evolutionary algorithm. The present investigation shows surprisingly new stable compounds of lime. At ambient pressure we predict, in addition to CaO, CaO2 as new thermodynamically stable compoun...

OBJECTIVE CT-diagnosed emphysema is associated with poor prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Its clinical impacts on prognoses of asthma with chronic airflow obstruction (CAO) are not well known. We sought to compare mortalities and prognostic factors in COPD and asthma with CAO by the presence or absence of CT-diagnosed emphysema. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. S...
