Natural Akermanite (NAM) has been successfully prepared by a modified sol-gel method. Optimization in calcination temperature and mechanical ball milling resulted in a pure and nano-sized powder which characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy (FT–IR). Calcium nitrate, ...

Porous ceramic microspheres are a desirable substance for bone tissue reconstruction and delivery applications. This study focuses on Mg–Ca silicate encapsulated in biodegradable poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) to serve as biocompatible carrier the controlled release of vancomycin hydrochloride. In this regard, diopside (MgCaSi 2 O 6 ), bredigite (MgCa 7 Si 4 16 akermanite ) powders were ...

Cadmium pollution in the soil induces significant hazards to agricultural growth and public health. Therefore, new routes are needed develop low-cost amendments that can effectively stabilize cadmium improve fertility. This study introduces modified illite (MIT) with enhanced ability heavy metal Cd through mixing of calcium carbonate, silicate sulfate specific proportions by using well-known ca...

In this work was investigated the feasibility to use Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) glasses in construction sector as secondary raw material. WEEE glasses were used in different percentages as a function of the product obtained: 30-40wt% for glaze formulations, about 40wt% for glass-ceramics and 5wt% in brick bodies. The laboratory and industrial scale up results demonstrated ...
