concrete is one of the most utilized construction materials in the world. nowadays, nano silicate usage due to its special property attracted considerable attention. on this basis, studying its environmental functions is an essential issue. accordingly, the behavior of normal concrete and the one with nano silicate were compared via taking advantage of life cycle assessment (lca) method in this...

Forced precipitation of struvite (MgNH4PO4*6H2O) has been demonstrated to be an effective method to reduce dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) from swine manure. The development of a robust and flexible continuous flow struvite precipitation reactor is essential to the application of this method to modern livestock operations. Swine manure generally requires pH adjustment, magnesium amendment a...

The effect of chloride ions concentration on the electrochemical behavior of AISI 410 stainless steel in the simulated concrete pore (0.1 M NaOH + 0.1 M KOH) solution was investigated by various electrochemical methods such as Potentiodynamic polarization, Mott–Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that increasing chlori...

Forced precipitation of struvite (MgNH4PO4 . 6H2O) can reduce dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) in swine manure slurries. Optimization of this process requires that the swine manure slurry pH be increased, that magnesium be added, and that sufficient reaction time be allowed for struvite precipitation. To gather data that could be used for a full-scale continuous-flow struvite precipitation r...

The present study was conducted based on the fish species and physicochemical parameters of Eğirdir Lake. Sampling was carried out monthly from January through December 2010 between 9 am and 11 am. The parameters measured were water temperature, depth, secchi disk depth, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, saturation of dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, chloride, hardness, calcium, magnesium, bicarb...

This study investigated the chloride penetration of surface-treated concrete in natural and accelerated environments. A part of a real concrete port, including the beams and the columns, was investigated. Concrete specimens cast together with the concrete port were transported to the lab and subjected to wetting and drying cycles for accelerating the ingression of chloride ion. Chloride concent...

Introduction Safety and mobility are key concerns for State Highway Agencies (SHAs), especially during the winter season when ice and snow accumulation on roads and bridges can create hazardous or impassable driving conditions. Various chemicals, including magnesium, sodium, and calcium chloride, calcium magnesium acetate and urea, are used by SHAs as anti-icing and deicing solutions on transpo...
