Large amounts of cotton microwastes are accumulated in textile industries. The microdust is less to ignite and causes serious environmental problems health hazards. This paper presents an experimental study, which investigates the potential use produce new lightweight brick for construction physical mechanical properties mixes having different levels ratio were investigated. test results record...

Calcium carbonate nano particles were synthesized using precipitation method from cockle shells by employing chitosan as precursor. Synthesized Calcium carbonates were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible and FTIR Spectroscopy. The results were compared with commercial calcium carbonate nano particles. Cockle shells are the potential source...

Oxidation of pollutants in waste water by photo-Fenton reaction has proven an ecofriendly and economical method. Oxidation of amido black – 10B, (an acid dye of azo series) using photoFenton reagent was investigated under ambient conditions. The effect of different parameters like the concentration of ferric ion, amido black10B and hydrogen peroxide, pH, light intensity etc. on the reaction rat...

Solar salinas are man-made systems exploited for the extraction of salt, by solar and wind evaporation of seawater. Salt production achieved by traditional methods is associated with landscapes and environmental and patrimonial values generated throughout history. Since the mid-twentieth century, this activity has been facing a marked decline in Portugal, with most salinas either abandoned or s...
