Abstract Foamed materials are honeycomb-shaped structures bearing porous networks which exhibit considerable compressive strengths, and excellent efficiency for oil-water separation. The presence of spilled oils solvents in wastewater intensifies with accumulation over the time later creating toxicity to environment. ever growing industrial demands precede contamination water sources make it di...

In order to develop a constitutive equation for foamed polymer solutions their flow behavior was investigated in a large-scale vertical tube. Starting from theoretical considerations, two new constitutive equations are proposed. A new variable+the specif;c t&me expansion mti+is introduced to characterize the relative gas content of the foam. With the new variable the proposed constitutive equat...

The cold in-place recycling (CIPR) is a process where the existing bituminous pavement is recycled without application of heat. In CIPR process the scarified material from the existing pavement is crushed to the required gradation and binder in cold form (emulsion or cutback or foamed bitumen) is added. Externally acquired Reclaimed Bituminous Pavement (RBP) or fresh aggregates are also added d...

LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE May consist of lightweight aggregates are used in ordinary concrete of coarse aggregate and sand, clay, foamed slag, clinker, crushed stone, aggregates of organic and inorganic. It used in different common shapes such as light weight aggregate concrete [1], concrete without fine [2] or concrete with bubble [3]. It is replaced by normal concrete in several applications becau...

The possibility to fabricate marine collagen porous structures crosslinked with genipin under high pressure carbon dioxide is investigated. Collagen from shark skin is used to prepare pre-scaffolds by freeze-drying. The poor stability of the structures and low mechanical properties require crosslinking of the structures. Under dense CO2 atmosphere, crosslinking of collagen pre-scaffolds is allo...
