One principal approach to achieve self-compacting properties is the increased amount of
finer constituents of the mixture. This, in turn, increases cement consumption leading to …

Composite material development for industrial uses is a critical technology in solid waste
management. In this study, we report, for the first time, the synthesis of thermally cured …

The present research work revolves around the evaluation of the elimination of the cationic
dye methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution by the exploitation of natural clay (TMG) …

Uncertainties associated with durability and sustainability of geopolymer due to formation of
efflorescence, shrinkage and activator cost are setbacks for its real-life applications …

A kaolinite containing 245 ppm of REEs was used as a feedstock for REE recovery. Acid
leaching test results showed that less than 20% of the REEs were leached using 1.2 mol/L …

In this research, the organelle damage, apoptosis and necrosis induced by PM 2.5, BC and
Kaolin were studied using human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells. PM 2.5, BC and Kaolin …

Nigeria possesses a multitude of solid mineral reserves strewn throughout its geographical
space in incredible economic numbers, yet they remain mostly unexploited. One such solid …

Uses of clay brick have practiced since ancient times in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal as
structural materials for the construction of historical monuments, temples, and even modern …

The catalysts derived from natural iron minerals in the advanced oxidation process offer
several advantages. However, their utilization in soil remediation is restricted due to the …

The removal of methylene blue (MB) dye and hexavalent chromium (Cr (Vl)) ions from water
bodies have necessitated the search for a promising adsorbent material with high adsorptive …
