Article
Open AccessThe casting of magnesium and potassium phosphate (KMgPO4•6H2O; K-struvite) cements becomes possible after the aqueous reaction between magnesium oxide and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. This reaction is quite exothermic ... -
Comparative study of magnesium by-products and vermiculite formulations to obtain fire resistant mortars
(Transtec Publications, 2008-06-30)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThere exists an increasing concern about the dangers originated in a building g in case of fire. In this work the behaviour of vermiculite as aggregate in fireproof mortars was compared with mortars formulated with two ... -
Crushed autoclaved aerated concrete (CAAC), A potential reactive filter medium for enhancing phosphorus removal in nature-based solutions-preliminary batch studies
(2019-07-01)
Article
Open AccessPhosphorus (P) is a limited resource and can promote eutrophication of water streams and acidification of oceans when discharged. Crushed autoclaved aerated concrete (CAAC), a by-product from demolition, has shown great ... -
Depth-sensing indentation applied to polymers: A comparison between standard methods of analysis in relation to the nature of the materials
(2013)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMechanical data (hardness and elastic modulus) from instrumented indentation testing are often extracted assuming linear elasticity in the initial portion of the unloading. The method is nowadays widely accepted as a ... -
Epsomite as flame retardant treatment for wood: Preliminary study
(2016-11-15)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of epsomite as flame retardant for wood has been investigated and compared with a commercial boron salt. Both flame retardants have been introduced into wood samples by vacuum impregnation. Epsomite is a hydrated ... -
High-porosity alkali-activated binders based on glass and aluminium recycling industry waste
(2023-10)
Article
Open AccessThe potential as alkali-activated precursors of ceramic-stone-porcelain (CSP) and PAVAL, two residues derived from the optical separation of glass cullet and salt slag from secondary aluminium recycling, has been assessed. ... -
