Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an important inorganic mineral in biological and geological
systems. Traditionally, it is widely used in plastics, papermaking, ink, building materials …

Disposal of massive amounts of eggshells and seashells from processing industries is a
challenge. In recent years, there has been a focus to reuse these waste resources in the …

Hypothesis CO 2 geological storage (CGS) involves different mechanisms which can store
millions of tonnes of CO 2 per year in depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and deep saline …

In this work, two cost-effective methods for preparing negative carbon superhydrophobic self-
cleaning concrete coatings were developed by using silane-modified recycled powders (RP) …

This paper studies the feasibility of synthesising super-hydrophobic ground granulated blast
furnace slag (GGBS) as water-resisting admixture in lightweight aggregate concrete. The …

This work aims to review the literature studies based on the application of stearic acid (SA)
in a large range of industrial and academic formulations, given the benefits arisen from this …

Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) is considered as the most promising
polymers for preparing biodegradable mulching films. However, PBAT films are suffered to …

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a solid waste residue in the production of phosphoric acid by the
wet process, and many deposits of this waste pollute the environment. Anhydrous …

Calcium carbonate, particularly in the form of calcite, is an abundant mineral widely used in
both human-made products and biological systems. The calcite surface possesses a high …

Hypothesis: Hydrophobized fumed silica particles were previously reported for producing
antibubbles that are quite stable in neutral as well as in acidic media. To produce acid …
