The development of alternative materials for the construction industry, based on different types waste, is gaining significant importance in recent years. This mostly due to need increase sustainability this heavily polluting activity, thus mitigating dependence on, instance, Portland cement. present paper related an alkaline activated cement (AAC) exclusively fabricated from industrial by-prod...

The study investigated the potential of sawdust and disposed water plastics for production wood plastic composite. was obtained from plank market in Yola, while, sachets were hand-picked within Modibbo Adama University premises. gathered sieved into 1.0 2.0 mm particle sizes, thoroughly mixed with already melted sachet at a ratio 1:25 (100: 2500 ml) 1:30 (100:3000 respectively,. mixtures heated...

The aim of this study was to improve the strength black cotton soil for its suitability road subgrade construction using wastes from plastic bottles and glass waste powders. Currently, nondecomposable glasses have become threats human health environment. This used replace cement, since cost cement raised due energy raw material use as stabilizer in weak soil. powder (WGP) chips were mixed with ...

Lack of degradability and the closing of landfill sites as well as growing water and land pollution problems have led to concern about plastics. With the excessive use of plastics and increasing pressure being placed on capacities available for plastic waste disposal, the need for biodegradable plastics and biodegradation of plastic wastes has assumed increasing importance in the last few years...

Pyrolysis of polymeric wastes, including waste plastic bottles, discarded rubber tyres and pure water sachets, is one the environmental-friendly processes for valorization. However, continuous effort must be made to reduce cost implication pyrolysis process in terms time, money energy requirement. Based on this premise, study examined justification regarding heat absorption rate product yield, ...
