Comparative assessment of corrosion of concrete reinforced with unprotected steel and hot-dip galvanized steel
(Revista de la Construccion, 2017)
Increasing the lifespan of structures is of great importance for civil construction, either because of economic aspects or security to the users. Corrosion of reinforcement is one of the most recurring problems, especially ...
Sustainable use of sewage sludge as a casing material for button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) cultivation: experimental and prediction modeling studies for uptake of metal elements
(MDPI AG, 2022-01-25)
The present study focused on the use of sewage sludge (SS) as a casing material amendment and the potential uptake of metal elements by the cultivated white button (Agaricus bisporus: MS-39) mushroom. Laboratory experiments ...
Chemical evaluation of by-products of the grape industry as potential agricultural fertilizers
(Journal Of Cleaner Production, 2019-06-20)
The grape industry, specifically the wine industry, is generating by-products rich in nutrients, which are underutilized and often end up being polluters of the environment. These byproducts are the bagasse, the stem and ...
