Mind the gap: The interplay between external and internal actions in the case of corporate social responsibility
(2016)
Research summary: We explore the effect of the interplay between a firm's external and internal actions on market value in the context of corporate social responsibility ( CSR). Specifically, drawing from the neo-institutional ...
Original Research Paper: Enhancing the rate of ex situ mineral carbonation in dunites via ball milling
(2016)
•Dunitic materials with enhanced CO2 uptake were created via ball milling (BM).•The optimum conditions are 12h of BM with 50wt% ethanol as process control agent.•The BM process increased the CO2 uptake of dunites by a ...
Amelioration of crushed brick - lime composites using nano-additives
(2016)
Crushed brick is widely known as a pozzolanic additive for composite building materials. However, crushed brick - lime composites usually show high porosity, low compressive strength and slow reaction kinetics. In this ...
On the potential use of quarry waste material for CO2 sequestration
(2016)
•Novel nanomaterials were produced via ball milling (BM) of quarry waste material.•Various morphological and structural modifications occurred after the BM process.•The optimum conditions are 20h of BM with 50wt% ethanol ...
Effect of fly ash chemical composition on the reinforcement corrosion, thermal diffusion and strength of blended cement concretes
(2016)
This paper presents the results of an experimental study conducted to evaluate the influence of fly ash chemical composition on the physico-mechanical properties and the resistance of reinforced concrete against chloride ...
Enhancing the rate of ex situ mineral carbonation in dunites via ball milling
(2016)
The investigation of potential options for CO 2 sequestration is of vital importance for alleviating the ongoing climate problem. This paper presents an efficient method for enhancing the ex situ carbonation of dunites. ...
Cradle to site Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of adobe bricks
(2016)
The application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to construction materials provides a useful inside to the energy embodied in their production and contributes towards educated decision-making regarding the choice of the most ...
PCM-enhanced Lime Plasters for Vernacular and Contemporary Architecture
(2016)
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have the ability to absorb and release thermal energy, in the form of latent heat, during the melting or solidifying processes respectively. Thus, they may be used as additives in the production ...
