The superior oil absorption capacity of recycled polypropylene (PP) fiber and waste tire powder were used to recover spilled engine oil. We used ASTM F726-99 method to evaluate oil adsorbing capability of PP fiber and found it to have a large, rapid oil sorption capacity. However, its lack of elasticity dramatically limited that capacity after repeated use. Tire powder, which absorbs less oil m...

Background: Many tools and techniques have been recently adopted to develop construction materials that are less harmful friendlier the environment. New products can be achieved through recycling of waste material. Thus, this study aims use recycled glass bottles as sustainable materials. Objective: Our challenge is nano powder by addition or replacement weight cement for producing concrete wit...

The current technologies available for recycling fluorescent lamps do not completely remove the phosphor powder attached to the surface of the glass. Consequently, the glass contains the mercury diffused through the glass matrix and the mercury deposited in the phosphor powder that has not been removed during treatment at the recycling plant. A low-cost process, with just one stage, which can b...

Using recycled wastes and industrial by-products in construction materials has become mandatory to conserve the natural resources manage waste-disposal environmental problems. This experimental work investigates workability strength properties of reactive powder concrete (RPC), utilizing slag finely ground waste as partial substitutes for cement quartz sand, respectively. The results slump flow...

Across the world, a huge amount of waste materials is deposited from different industrial or construction activities. Out this massive quantity, petite recycled and remaining dumped in vulnerable lands. This paper deals with potential utilization solid reactive powder concrete, practically powdered glass originating bottles ceramics tile process. First, optimum ratio pozzolanic material (cerami...

This paper examines the impact of two popular solid waste programs on the percent recycled of several different materials found in the residential solid waste stream. We examine a unique, national, household-level data set containing information on the percent recycled of five different materials: glass bottles, plastic bottles, aluminum, newspaper, and yard waste. We find that access to curbsi...
