This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the residual compressive and splitting tensile strength of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) containing perlite and polypropylene (PP) fiber subjected to high temperatures. Cylinder specimens were subjected to various temperature ranges of 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1,000°C. The mixtures were prepared with AAC cementitious materials conta...

The potential long term environmental impacts of a landfill on groundwater quality depend on its liner material properties. In case synthetic liner materials are damaged during the construction or operation, many of the original chemical and biological constituents are removed by filtration and the adsorptive action of natural liner materials such as natural zeolite, perlite and bentonite miner...

to select an appropriate medium for the growth of plant is one of the problems of most greenhouse owners in production of pot ornamentals. so, current research was conducted to evaluate effect of some available media in mixtured by perlite on the growth of pothos. study was based on a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, 8 measuring times and 6 replications in a fiberglass greenhouse...

In order to evaluate the effect of medium and spraying calcium nano-fertilizer on quality of cut gerbera flowers, an experiment was conducted as factorial in completely randomized design with 7 media and 3 calcium nano-fertilizer concentrations with 3 replications. The media included cocopeat + perlite (1:1), peat moss + perlite (1:1), mushroom compost + perlite (1:1), peat moss + cocopeat + pe...

Growth media have important effects on the development of ornamental plants. Many organic and inorganic materials are used in as growing (GM) The present study was carried out Atatürk University controlled greenhouses condition. In study, 11 different created with sand, soil, peat, perlite, coconut peat their mixtures were media. Mixing medium a volumetric basis (V:V), respectively: Mix 1: peat...
