Contribution to low-carbon building industry and improved durability through incorporation of waste into cement composites
Estokova A., (Corresponding) Figmig R., (Corresponding) Singovszka E.
Topic:
Solid waste management
By using mineral waste in the production of cement composites, it is possible not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint, but by adding secondary waste such as fly ash, silica fume or slag, some properties of the resulting composites are also improved. The waste mentioned are...Read more
Investigating the Performance of Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Primary Sludge and Acid Whey Using a Twin Pilot Scale System
(Corresponding) Gkoumas F., Tzivelou E., Gravanis Z., Mamais D., Malamis S., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) has proven to be an effective method for transforming organic waste into biogas, a renewable energy source that can play a crucial role in reducing our dependence on finite fossil fuels. Despite its widespread use, mono-digestion, where a single substrate is utilized, is...Read more
Modelling metal and energy recovery from Acid Mine Drainage by means of Bioelectrochemical Technology
Delgado Y., Lopez E., Martin M., Llanos J., (Corresponding) Fernandez-Morales F.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
This work presents a Monod-based mathematical model able to predict the performance of a bioelectrochemical system (BES) treating Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). The BES was operated as a microbial fuel cell (MFC), in order to recover not only the metals but also all the chemical energy contained. The...Read more
Evaluation of industrial wastes as active materials in permeable reactive barrier for acid mine drainage remediation
Sanchez D., Lopez-Bellido J., Acosta I., Rodriguez L., Villaseñor J., (Corresponding) Fernandez-Morales J.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The aim of this work was to evaluate the use of agricultural and industrial waste materials as reactive agents into Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRB) for Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) remediation. Laboratory-scale columns containing Volcanic Scoria (VS) as porous fill material and approximately 18% w/w...Read more
A New Material for Microencapsulation of Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage
(Corresponding) Konuklu Y., Yıldırım B., Gezici O.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
Phase change materials (PCMs) serve as energy storage materials that can effectively reduce the heating and cooling load. To overcome the issue of leakage in practical applications, there has been a growing significance in conducting research on microencapsulation and composite production. In this...Read more

Thermal Energy Storage Properties of Gelatin-Gum Arabic Microcapsules Containing Lauric Acid
(Corresponding) Konuklu Y.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
In this study, gelatin-gum arabic microcapsules containing lauric acid were prepared for thermal energy storage applications. Lauric acid and gelatin-gum arabic were used as the core material and shell material, respectively. The synthesized microcapsules were analyzed using differential scanning...Read more
