Filter cake is one of the main waste products of zinc processing industries and it contains a high amount of toxic heavy metals. In this research in order to reduce heavy metals leachability in filter cake, Portland cement, natural pozzolan, diammonium phosphate (DAP), triple superphosphate (TSP), lime, zinc oxide and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) have been used. This research’s ...

This work studies the feasibility to employ a combination of volcanic ash (natural waste) with different raw materials in production geopolymers: fly and mining tailing (considered hazardous solid waste), natural pozzolan, metakaolin. study compares properties geopolymers based on ash, metakaolin, relation 1:1 addition NaOH 15M Na2SiO3 as alkali activators. FTIR XRD assays mechanical tests were...

A new type of lightweight plaster with the thermal capacity enhanced by PCM (Phase Change Material) addition is analyzed. The basic physical characteristics, namely the bulk density, matrix density, total open porosity, and pore size distribution are measured at first. For description of mechanical properties, compressive strength measurements are done. The thermal properties are characterized ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro cytotoxicity of the pozzolan cement and other root-end filling materials using human periodontal ligament cell. MATERIALS AND METHODS Endocem (Maruchi), white ProRoot MTA (Dentsply), white Angelus MTA (Angelus), and Super EBA (Bosworth Co.) were tested after set completely in an incubator at 37℃ for 7 days, Endocem was tested in tw...

dispersive soils are prevailent in many parts of the world, including in iran. construction of hydraulic structures on dispersive soils has created various serious problems. since it is neither economical nor justified to replace a dispersive soil with a non-dispersive one, there fore stabilization of a dispersive soil in one way or another is indispensable and unavoidable. throughout this rese...

Use of lime as construction material is limited mainly by low initial strength. These properties can be improved adding pozzolanic materials, but the evolution reaction usually needs older ages than 7 days. Alkali-activated or geopolymers, are good-performance materials that produced with residual waste. The combination traditional and new lead to uses mortars. This paper studies a lime/pozzola...
