Lightweight cement composites containing end-of-life treated wood – Leaching, h...
Dias, Sara; Almeida, João; Santos, Bruna; Humbert, Pedro; Tadeu, António; António, Julieta; Brito, Jorge de; Pinhão, PedroA huge amount of treated wood waste containing hazardous substances is produced every year all over Europe that simply ends up in landfills. In this study, the authors investigate the practical feasibility of using end-of-life treated wood for producing innovative lightweight cement composites. For this purpose, wood waste from four different sources was characterised to assess the presence of leaching substanc...
Alkali-activation of tungsten mining waste mud blended with waste glass: reacti...
Gomes, João Castro; Magrinho, Manuel; Sedira, Naim; Beghoura, Imed; Humbert, Pedro; Manso, Maria; Fernandes, Ana; Silva, RafaelMines and quarries waste accounts for about 29% of the total generated waste from industrial processes and households in Europe. The reuse of mud tailings as precursor materials for alkali-activated binders and applications are very promising from a technical and environmental point of view. The aim of the present study was to develop added-value solutions to reutilize tungsten mine mud tailings in alkali activ...
