Overview of Applications of Kitchen Wastewater and Its Treatment
(ASCE, 2020)Kitchen wastewater (KWW), a type of gray wastewater has garnered significant attention because of organic pollutants and oil and grease. It has hazardous effects on the environment, such as eutrophication in water bodies ... -
Experimental and Statistical Evaluations of Strength Properties of Concrete with Iron Ore Tailings as Fine Aggregate
(ASCE, 2020)Iron ore tailings (IOT) are the by-products of iron ore beneficiation, and these tailings are disposed of in several tons annually in quarries, landfills, and tailings dams, causing environmental issues. Various researchers ... -
Bengal Gram Husk as Efficient and Cost-Effective Adsorbent for Pb2+ and Methylene Blue Removal in Single and Binary Systems
(ASCE, 2020)The present study reported on the utilization of pulse processing waste [Bengal gram peel powder (BGPP)] for the removal of lead ions (Pb2+) and methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution in single and binary systems. The ... -
Bentonites as a Copper Adsorbent: Equilibrium, pH, Agitation, Dose, and Kinetic Effect Studies
(ASCE, 2020)In landfills, properties of the liner become affected due to the presence of harmful chemicals that, in turn, reduce its efficiency. In this study, two bentonites having different chemical and mineralogical compositions ... -
Sugar and Steel By-Product Utilization in Acid Mine Drainage Remediation
(ASCE, 2020)In this research, two industrial by-products produced close to South African mining regions were used to treat acid mine drainage (AMD): steel slag and sugarcane bagasse, i.e., the shredded cane stalk residual after ... -
Particle Size Effects on Breakage of ACT Aggregates under Physical and Environmental Loadings
(ASCE, 2020)Aggregates manufactured from fine-grained thermal waste residues using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) represent a potential sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. However, for these manufactured products ... -
Ground Bottom Ash Application for Conventional Mortar and Geopolymer Paste
(ASCE, 2020)The present study investigates the possibility of using ground bottom ash (GBA) as an alternative to cement to produce geopolymer concrete. The process of geopolymerization includes the reaction of a solid precursor and ... -
Decision-Making Tool for Groundwater Level Spatial Distribution and Risk Assessment Using Geostatistics in R
(ASCE, 2020)The present research work applies ordinary kriging using an R programming script to map the free surface of an unconfined alluvial aquifer, calculating, at the same time, the standard deviation of the estimations. Moreover, ... -
Assessment of Radionuclide Concentration and Radiation Dose in Rock in Singrauli Coalfield, India
(ASCE, 2020)This study was conducted at the Singrauli coal mine environment in Singrauli coalfield, India. The activity concentrations of thorium (Th232), uranium (U238), and potassium (K40) in rock samples were analyzed by gamma ... -
Biochemical Indicators of Algal Bloom in Sewage-Contaminated Lakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Pollution of Bengaluru lakes with partially treated sewage and stormwater runoffs has led to frequent algal blooms and fish kills in the lakes. This study examined the biochemical parameters of four polluted Bengaluru lakes ... -
Electrokinetic Remediation Procedure Applied to Polluted Soils in Southern Spain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Electrokinetic remediation (EKR) is probably the only feasible alternative to treat contaminated soils with low hydraulic conductivity. This technology is based on the application of an electric current between two groups ... -
Leaching Implications of Postcombustion Consumer Batteries in Municipal Waste Incinerator Ash
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) is a major form of municipal waste management worldwide that generates an ash product, or unburned material, composed of slags, metals, glass, ceramics, and trace amounts of unburned ... -
Utilization of Quarry Waste and Granulated Rubber Mix as Lightweight Backfill Material
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to propose a lightweight backfill material using industrial wastes, namely quarry waste and granulated rubber. Granulated rubber was added in varying percentages (5%, ... -
Workability Retention and Strength Development of Self-Compacting Recycled Aggregate Concrete Using Ultrafine Recycled Powders and Silica Fume
