Gluconic acid (GOA) and glucaric acid (GAA) are valuable chemicals for a wide range of
applications, yet conventional technologies for their production suffer from low efficiency …

Retarders are used to prevent hydration of oilwell cement by prolonging thickening and
setting time for cement slurry application under deep and high-temperature conditions …

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is a prospective technique for pollutant degradation,
but less attention has been paid to the tunable modulation and effective utilization of reactive …

Carbon curing of cement-based materials shows great potential for reducing the carbon
footprint and improving the physical-mechanical properties. Accelerated carbonatation is …

In this study, the effect of maltodextrin on the hydration kinetics of ordinary Portland cement
was investigated. Additionally, the impact of maltodextrin on the physical and mechanical …

The use of biomass has been emerging as a worldwide trend. Although biomass is a
renewable energy source, the disposal of generated by-products is an issue. A material with …

Abstract Effect of acid activation on compressive strength, shrinkage, microstructure and
hydration process of cement-based materials is studied by adding acid activator to them …

Trichoderma reesei (T. reesei) is well-known for its excellent ability to secret a large quantity
of cellulase. However, unlike the endogenous proteins, little is known about the molecular …

This study explores the mechanical properties, as well as the water-reducing and setting
delay mechanism, of a novel xylonic acid-based water reducer applied to cementitious …

Humanity's overreliance on fossil fuels for chemical and energy production has resulted in
uncontrollable carbon emissions that have warranted widespread concern regarding global …
