Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Stabilized Fly Ash as an Alternative Material for Sustainable Pavements
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Thermal power plants in India produce a large quantity of fly ash, which is harmful to the environment. Underutilization of fly ash and the scarcity of natural minerals have created the need for an unusual construction ... -
Ecotoxicity Assessment of Fine Fractions Obtained from Landfill Mining
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)In this study, the ecotoxicological effects posed by bulk of the material obtained from landfill mining, that is, fine fraction (<10 mm), were assessed by performing bioassays tests with the aim of using the data in ... -
Application of Alkaline Phosphatase to Assess the Health of <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i> Exposed to Organophosphates and Synthetic Pyrethroid Pesticides In Vivo
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The most widely used pesticides for residential areas and agriculture purposes, which belong to the organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids, were evaluated in this study for their LC0 toxicity. In an aquatic environment, ... -
Biosorption of Lead II Using <i>Foeniculum vulgare</i> in the Aqueous Phase
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Lead in drinking water is a metabolic poison that causes mental retardation, temporary cerebral damage, and reproductive problems. Chemical precipitation, membrane technology, and ion exchange are some of the expensive and ... -
Evaluation of Avocado Pear Seed Coat for Removal of Nickel and Chromium Ions from Aqueous Solution
(ASCE, 2022/06/24)This research investigates the use of avocado (Persea americana) seed coat as a potential adsorptive material for removal of Ni(II) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions using a batch experimental technique of adsorption. ... -
Green Remediation for Lead-Contaminated Soil Using Carbon Dioxide Injection
(ASCE, 2022/06/23)Numerous studies have been conducted to remove lead (Pb) from the soil. This study proposed a novel approach that used carbon dioxide (CO2) as a cleaning reagent for the remediation and immobilization of Pb contamination ... -
Life Cycle Costing Assessment–Based Approach for Evaluation of Solid Waste Management Options
(ASCE, 2022/05/27)Solid waste management (SWM) is a global problem that is closely related to everyone in the world. Rapid urban and population growth, and improved living standards have resulted in high rates of municipal solid waste (MSW) ... -
Synthesis of Hybrid PVDF–PTFE Membrane Using Nonhazardous Solvent for Ethanol–Water Separation through Membrane Distillation
(ASCE, 2022/05/27)This work was focussed on synthesizing a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)–polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hybrid flat sheet membrane using a nonhazardous solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for ethanol–water separation via ... -
Biogeochemical versus Conventional Landfill Soil Covers: Analysis of Gas Flow Profiles, Microbial Communities, and Mineralogy
(ASCE, 2022/05/16)In this study, a novel biogeochemical cover system comprising biochar-amended soil and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel slag was explored as a sustainable alternative cover system to mitigate methane (CH4), carbon dioxide ... -
