POSSIBILITY OF REUSING EXPANDED CLAY IN GREENHOUSE TOMATO CULTIVATION. PART II. CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF NUTRIENTS IN THE ROOT ENVIRONMENT AND LEAVES

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2012
The main cause of disturbances in proper nutrient uptake and distribution by plants grown in inert media is an increase of some nutrients in total ion concentration (EC) in the root environment.

Application of porous building materials in low-rise housing construction [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The enclosing structure made of porous building materials was considered as the object under study in the work. Let us consider four types of building wall materials (expanded clay concrete, porous ceramics, foam concrete and porous arbolite).

Micro-Mechanical Properties of Expanded Clay Particles

International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2019
The aim of this paper is to study the micro-mechanical behavior of an industrial crushable and highly porous granular material. Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregates (LECA) was selected in this research for testing thanks to its brittle nature and highly porous character which makes it easier to study the crushable behavior of this material.

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.

Modelling of Projectile Penetration into Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate [PDF]

Journal of Dynamic Behavior of Materials, 2016
This work presents a phenomenological model for estimating projectile penetration into granular lightweight expanded clay aggregate often known as Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA). Laboratory scale penetration experiments in the low-velocity regime performed using LECA are presented. A penetration model based on the mass and momentum balances

Reduced‐Graphene Oxide Nanofiltration Membranes Intercalated by Conjugated Polyaromatics: Towards High Monovalent Salt Rejections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the fabrication of a series of reduced‐GO nanofiltration membranes containing intercalated polyaromatic conjugated molecules of different structural classes. These tuned‐nanochannel membranes perform “deep nanofiltration” with remarkably high monovalent salt rejections and near‐total divalent salt rejections in a large concentration ...

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

The Third‐Generation Magnetic Super‐Stable Mineralizer: Complete Removal and Separation of Multiple Heavy Metal Pollutants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The 3rd‐generation magnetic super‐stable mineralizer M‐MgAl‐700 features a core‐shell structure, strong superparamagnetism, large surface area, and abundant oxygen defects. It achieves exceptional Cd(II) and As(V) mineralization capacities, reducing both pollutants in co‐contaminated water and soil to meet national standards.

The Effect of Expanded Glass and Expanded Clay Aggregate Additives on Water Vapor Diffusion Based on Wet Cup Method in Cementitious Lightweight Mortars for Sustainable Buildings

Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi
Water vapor permeability is the ability of a material to allow vapor (such as water vapor or any gas) to pass through it. Water vapor permeability also indicates the breathability of the material.
