Direct CO2 Capture by Alkali‐Dissolved Cellulose and Sequestration in Building Materials and Artificial Reef Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 35, Issue 11, March 16, 2023., 2023
Alkali cellulose solutions are used as CO2 absorption media to lead mineralized cellulose materials at a tailorable cellulose‐to‐mineral ratio. Cellulose lean gels are converted into dry powders, shown as a functional component of ceramic glazes and cementitious composites; meanwhile, cellulose‐rich gels are moldable and extrudable, yielding stone‐like

Indurated soil nodules: A vestige of ancient agricultural practices?

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 870-886, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract The identification of controlled fires in ancient agricultural systems is important for understanding how past societies managed the landscape. Although the use of fire in agriculture is documented in recent historical records, and combustion markers can persist in soils over a long time scale, this is a complex issue because combustion traits

Dense glass‐ceramics by fast sinter‐crystallization of mixtures of waste‐derived glasses

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 55-63, January/February 2020., 2020
Abstract Dense glass‐ceramics were obtained by cold pressing and sinter‐crystallization of a glass originated from the plasma gasification of municipal solid waste (“Plasmastone”) mixed with recycled soda‐lime glass and kaolin clay. The optimum mixture featured 45% Plasmastone/45% soda‐lime glass/10% kaolin clay and it was sintered according to a fast ...
