    Prince Momar Gueye1,2,*, Siham Kamali-Bernard2, Dame Keinde1, Fabrice Bernard2, Vincent Sambou1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.18, No.6, pp. 1581-1593, 2022, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.022165

    Abstract Omni Processors (OP) are machines which use sludge as a fuel to generate electricity and clean water, but create ash at the same time. In the present study, fly ash and bottom ash are investigated as materials for potential reuse in the construction field. First, the granular size, density and Blaine finesse are determined. Then, the chemical composition and microstructure are obtained by means of X-ray fluorescence and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), respectively. Finally, ashes reactivity is determined by two chemical methods (modified Chapelle test, bound water content R3) and a mechanical method (pozzolanic activity index). The characterization… More >

    Ben Li1, Na Li1,*, Chulei Fang1, Jun Hu2,*, Rong Yu3, Longxin Shu1, Kai Yao3, Fang Zhang1

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.10, No.6, pp. 1693-1710, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.018475

    Abstract In order to study the mechanical properties and micro-mechanism of industrial waste fly ash-reinforced cement calcareous sand (FCS), the triaxial unconsolidated undrained (UU) test and scanning electron microscope tests (SEM) were carried out on it. The results of UU test show that the peak stress and energy dissipation of the FCS sample first increase and then decrease with the increase in fly ash content. Fly ash enhances the cement calcareous sand by increasing both the cohesion and internal friction angle, and adding 10% content of fly ash gives the largest values. The SEM test results shows that the hydration products… More >

    Fly Ash/Paraffin Composite Phase Change Material Used to Treat Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Expansive Soil in Cold Regions

    Yong Chen1, Yinghao Huang1,2,*, Min Wu1 and Shuo Wang1

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.10, No.4, pp. 1153-1173, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.018856

    Abstract Phase change materials (PCMs) can store large amounts of energy in latent heat and release it during phase changes, which could be used to improve the freeze-thaw performance of soil. The composite phase change material was prepared with paraffin as the PCM and 8% Class C fly ash (CFA) as the supporting material. Laboratory tests were conducted to reveal the influence of phase change paraffin composite Class C fly ash (CFA-PCM) on the thermal properties, volume changes and mechanical properties of expansive soil. The results show that PCM failed to establish a good improvement effect due to leakage. CFA can… More >

    Shoukai Chen1,4,5, Chunpeng Xing1, Mengdie Zhao2,*, Junfeng Zhang3, Lunyan Wang1,4,5,*, Qidong He6

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.10, No.3, pp. 799-819, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.017285

    Abstract

    Pervious concrete is recommended, which is of great benefit to the ecological environment and human living environment. In this paper, the influences of five water-cement ratios and four fly ash contents to replace the cement by mass with a water-cement ratio of 0.30 on the properties of Recycled Aggregate Pervious Concrete (RAPC) were studied. Following this, based on the Grey relational-Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) optimization method, the strength, permeability, abrasion loss rate, and material costs of RAPC were adopted as evaluation indices to establish a mix proportion optimization model. The results show that… More >

    An Experimental Study on Oxidized Mercury Adsorption by Bromide Blended Coal Combustion Fly Ash

    Mingyu Yu1, Mengyuan Liu1, Guangqian Luo1,2,*, Ruize Sun1, Jingyuan Hu1, Hailu Zhu1, Li Zhong3, Lipeng Han3, Xian Li1, Hong Yao1

    Energy Engineering, Vol.118, No.5, pp. 1277-1286, 2021, DOI:10.32604/EE.2021.014810

    Abstract The application of forced mercury oxidation technology would lead to an increase of Hg2+ concentration in the flue gas. Although Hg2+ can be easily removed in the WFGD, the mercury re-emission in the WFGD can decrease the total removal of mercury from coal-fired power plants. Hence, it is necessary to control Hg2+ concentration in the devices before the WFGD. Fly ash adsorbent is considered as a potential alternative for commercial activated carbon adsorbent. However, the adsorption efficiency of the original fly ash is low. Modification procedure is needed to enhance the adsorption performance. In this study, the adsorption of Hg2+More >

    An α-Fe2O3/Circulating Fluidized Bed Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Composite Anode for Electrocatalytic Degradation of Indigo Carmine Dye Wastewater

    Jiaqian Lei, Yaojun Zhang*, Panyang He

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.12, pp. 2277-2289, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.015824

    Abstract Geopolymers have been developed to various catalysts due to their advantages. However, low conductivity restricts their application in the electrocatalysis field. In this study, an α-Fe2O3/circulating fluidized bed fly ash based geopolymer (CFAG) composite anode was fabricated using a facile dip-coating method by loading α-Fe2O3 in the matrix of CFAG. The effects of α-Fe2O3 content on the composition, surface morphology and electrochemical performance of α-Fe2O3/CFAG composite anode were investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) results demonstrated that α-Fe2O3 was successfully inlaid with the surface of amorphous CFAG matrix. The electrochemical measurements indicated that α-Fe2O3/CFAG composite anode… More > Graphic Abstract

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.12, pp. 2241-2260, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.015565

    Abstract In the present study, in order to investigate the effects of fly ash on the structural evolution and strength damage mechanism of Pisha-sandstone cement soil, unconfined compressive strength tests of Pisha-sandstone cement soil with different fly ash content levels and various ages were carried out.

The results revealed that the unconfined compressive strength levels of Pisha-sandstone cement soil samples displayed increasing trends with the increases in fly ash content and age. For example, when the fly… More > Graphic Abstract

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.2, pp. 179-204, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.013134

    Abstract The historical structures of Thailand are some of the most fascinating ancient sites in Asia. Their architectures reveal past cultures, traditions, knowledge, and expertise. Masonry materials are the major materials used to construct the historical structures in Thailand. One of the essential problem of Thai historical structure preservation is a shortage of engineering properties data for the structural stability assessment. Moreover, the in-depth engineering properties and the suitable substitution materials for Thai historical preservation are rarely found. Therefore, the engineering properties of the ancient masonry materials have to be explored together with the development of suitable substitute materials. This paper… More >

    Mechanical Properties of Lime-Fly Ash-Sulphate Aluminum Cement Stabilized Loess

    Liang Jia, Chunxiang Li, Jian Guo*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.8, No.10, pp. 1357-1373, 2020, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2020.012136

    Abstract Lime-fly ash stabilized loess has a poor early strength, which results in a later traffic opening time when it is used as road-base materials. Consideration of the significant early strength characteristics of sulphate aluminum cement (SAC), it is always added into the lime-fly ash mixtures to improve the early strength of stabilized loess. However, there is a scarcity of research on the mechanical behavior of lime-fly ash-SAC stabilized loess and there is a lack of quantitative evaluation of loess stabilized with binder materials. This research explored the effects of the amount of binder materials, curing time and porosity on the… More >

    Zhichao Han, Yaojun Zhang*, Panyang He

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.8, No.4, pp. 405-416, 2020, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2020.09351

    Abstract In this study, a magnetic P zeolite was directly synthesized by utilization of industrial solid wastes of zinc slag (ZS) and circulating fluidized bed fly ash (CFBFA) via one-step hydrothermal method. The effects of different CFBFA/ZS ratios and hydrothermal times on the as-synthesized zeolite were investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) results indicated that the magnetic P zeolite possessed well-defined crystals and superparamagnetism. The as-prepared zeolite was employed as a Fenton-like solid catalyst for degradation of direct green B dye wastewater. It was discovered that the magnetic P zeolite took the advantage of rapid separation and… More >
