Carbon dioxide storage in olivine basalts: Effect of ball milling process
(2015)
The goal of this study is to propose a cost-effective method for the optimization of the ex situ carbonation of basaltic rocks. The ball milling process was applied to a sample of olivine basalt from the Troodos ophiolite ...
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 ...
Comparison of adobes from pre-history to-date
(2017)
This paper presents a comparative study between prehistoric, traditional (19th–20th century) and contemporary adobe bricks from Cyprus. Reported experimental results include grain size distribution analyses, qualitative ...
In-situ measurement of liquid phase moisture in cement mortar
(2012)
A sensing method is developed and used for measurement of liquid phase moisture transport through cement mortar. Near-infrared electromagnetic energy launched through optical fibers is used to analyze the internal environment ...
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 ...
A Study of Fine Aggregate Properties and Their Effect on the Quality of Cementitious Composite Materials
(2015)
Aggregate is a major constituent of composite building materials. Therefore, aggregate characteristics have an important influence on mortar properties. The objective of this paper is to study the properties and therefore ...
