Particle clustering phenomena in hot asphalt mixtures with high content of reclaimed asphalt pavements

André-Gilles Dumont, Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

One challenge in efficient recycling of asphalt concrete is the adherence of the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) particles or clustering that inhibits fulfilling the aggregate gradation requirements. In order to investigate this phenomenon two types of mi ...

Properties of mortars produced with reactivated cementitious materials

Ricardo Javier Serpell Carriquiry

The production of reactivated cementitious materials is an option for the recycling of hydrated-cement-rich fines discarded during recycled aggregate production. Reactivation is based on a thermal process where calcium silicate hydrates present in the fine ...

Enhancing Recycling of Construction Materials: An Agent Based Model with Empirically Based Decision Parameters

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Recycling of construction material is a valuable option for minimizing construction & demolition waste streams to landfills and mitigating primary mineral resource depletion. Material flows in the construction sector are governed by a complex socio-technic ...

High resolution scrape-off layer profile measurements in limited and diverted plasmas in C-Mod -- investigation of heat flux channel width physics

Christian Gabriel Theiler

Narrow scrape-off layer (SOL) heat flux channel widths (λq) are seen on many tokamaks, both in inner-wall limited (IWL) and diverted discharges. These observations have important consequences for ITER and reactors, impacting the design of inner limiter til ...

Neutral solar photo-Fenton degradation of 4-nitrophenol on iron-enriched hybrid montmorillonite-alginate beads (Fe-MABs)

César Pulgarin, Salvatore Barreca

Hybrid montmorillonite-alginate beads (MABs) were prepared by the ion-gelation method from alginate and montmorillonite clay suspension dropped in a calcium chloride solution. Similarly, iron-enriched beads (Fe-MABs) were prepared using iron-exchanged mont ...

Continuous catalytic hydrothermal gasification of algal biomass and case study on toxicity of aluminum as a step toward effluents recycling

Christian Ludwig, Frédéric Vogel, Mariluz Bagnoud, Martin Brandenberger

A novel process named SunCHem has been proposed to produce methane via catalytic hydrothermal gasification of microalgae [1-3]. The process is innovative because it is designed as a closed-cycle system with respect to water, nutrients and some of the CO2, ...

Effect of recycled cellulose fibres on the properties of lightweight cement composite matrix

Karen Scrivener, Amor Guidoum, Mohamed Bentchikou

This paper discusses the results from an experimental investigation conducted to study the effect on using cellulose fibres as cement replacement on the properties of lightweight cement composite. The fibres were recycled from waste paper and packaging and ...

Decisions on recycling: Construction stakeholders’ decisions regarding recycled mineral construction materials

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste, being already the largest waste fraction in industrialized coun- tries, is expected to increase in the future. C&D waste recycling has been considered to be a valuable option not only for minimizing C&D waste stream ...

The Trade-Off between Phosphorus Recycling and Health Protection during the BSE Crisis in Switzerland. A “Disposal Dilemma”

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Phosphorus (P) is an essential, finite resource whose geological, economic, and geopolitical accessibility may become critical in the future. Because P losses from agriculture, sewage and waste have serious environmental impacts such as eutrophication, it ...
