Silicic tuffs infilling an ancient submarine caldera, at Mineral King in California, show microscopic fabrics indicative of welding of glass shards and pumice at temperatures >500 degrees C. The occurrence indicates that subaqueous explosive eruption and emplacement of pyroclastic materials can occur without substantial admixture of the ambient water, which would cause chilling. Intracaldera pr...

background: in recent years, proficient treatment of wastewaters containing recalcitrant and toxic compounds such as phenol has been a challenge. this study introduced and evaluated an efficient option for treating such wastewater . methods: this experimental study was performed on phenol removal as a recalcitrant and toxic compound in aqueous solutions in 2011. the pumice stone was collected f...

Concrete's drawback is its low tensile strength and heavy weight, which may exceed 2400 kg/m3. The significance of self-weight in building construction essential, particularly when dealing with seismic loads. larger the inertial force from weight structure itself, greater therefore lightweight concrete can provide an opportunity to lower own a smaller unit 1850 Fly ash was employed as substitut...

The soils of the central Oregon pumice plateau are relatively young and infertile, yet support an array of plant diversity and growth in the region’s pine forests. Whether these coarsetextured, pumice and ash soils are resilient to forest disturbance is not well understood. We present results from a long-term experiment that examined changes in soil quality in response to combinations of thinni...

In this study, Remazol Yellow (RR) removal was investigated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilized on pumice stone. For the immobilization process, a new technic was used and immobilization matrix HCl pretreated pumice stone was added to the growth medium of microorganism. pH, initial biosorbent (Co), and dye concentration (Cb) effect on biosorption were optimized thr...

Objective of the work: This study focused on investigations pozzolanic activity pumice under different curing temperatures and durations. 
 Materials Method: Pumice powder, standard sand slaked lime were used as materials in this study. Within scope study, only one mixture design was following TS 25. In total, 9 regimes such three heat cures at 55˚C, 75˚C, 90˚C durations 7, 14, 28 days for...
