Optimization of alkali-activated ladle slag-fly ash composites using a Taguchi-TOPSIS hybrid algorithm

open access: yesCleaner Engineering and Technology
The effect of multiple mix design factors on the properties of ladle slag-fly ash alkali-activated composites was investigated. Taguchi-TOPSIS hybrid algorithm was adopted to optimize mix design parameters, including ladle slag replacement by fly ash ...

Solvation Engineering with 2D Laponite Nanosheets for Stable Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
In this work, ZBL was introduced as an electrolyte additive to the ZnSO4 electrolyte to achieve more uniform Zn plating/stripping and reduce side reactions, thereby improving the reversibility of Zn anodes. This leads to enhanced cycling stability in both symmetric and full cells.

Strength reduction mechanism of cement-treated soil under seawater environment

open access: yesSoils and Foundations
Improving soft grounds with cement or lime is commonly used to increase their strength and deformation characteristics. However, the properties of cement/lime-treated soil deteriorate in seawater because magnesium salts accelerate calcium leaching.

Effects of nanosilica on the calcium silicate hydrates in Portland cement–fly ash systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cementitious materials have a complex chemistry and naturally form nanostructures in the hydration process, a network of calcium silicate hydrates. It is considered that nanoparticles such as nanosilica could act as a pozzolanic material as well as a ...

Heterogeneous Exhumation Mechanisms in Neoproterozoic Collisional Metamorphism: P–T Constraints From Pelotas and Punta del Este Terranes, Southern Brazil and Uruguay

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...

How much water is there within calcium silicate hydrates? Probing water dynamics by Inelastic Neutron Scattering and Molecular Dynamics Simulations [PDF]

open access: yes
Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is a disordered, nanocrystalline material acting as the primary binding phase in Portland cement. Thin films of water are present on the surfaces and inside the nanopores of C-S-H and related phases such as calcium ...

Electron probe microanalysis of extremely fine‐grained tephras: new protocols and insights for analyses at the 1 μ ${\rm{\mu }}$m scale

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volcanic ash (tephra) provides an important chronostratigraphic framework for correlating Quaternary records. In ultra‐distal ( > $\gt $1500 km) settings such as ice cores and marine sediments, deposits are typically preserved as cryptotephra composed of glass shards ≤ 20 μ $\le 20\,\mu

Synthetic Calcium Silicate Hydrates

open access: yes, 2017
Since the introduction of cementitious materials over 200 years ago, its use has multiplied many fold to be currently at 3 billion tonnes per year, accounting for about 8% of worldwide carbon emission which is forecast to double within the next 30 years. Upon hydration of cementitious materials, the principle product formed is Calcium Silicate Hydrate (
