The current status of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the water environment Malaysia was examined and reported. For inspection, two rivers sewage treatment plants (STPs) were selected. Two activated carbons derived from oil palm (ACfOPS) coconut (ACfCS) shells proposed as adsorbent to remove AgNPs. It found that concentrations AgNPs STPs are ranges 0.13 10.16 mg L-1 20.02 L-1, respectively, with highest concentration measured July. ACfOPS ACfCS removed up 99.6 99.9% AgNPs, water. interaction...
The fabrication of bricks commonly consumes relatively high natural resources. To reduce the carbon footprint in brick production industry, repurposing industrial wastes making sustainable is a recent trend research and application. Local wastes, such as oil palm shell (OPS), fuel ash (POFA), quarry dust (QD), are massively produced annually oil-exporting countries. Moreover, QD from mining industries hazardous to both water air quality. For better waste management marching towards...
The utilization of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in conventional concretes is synonymous with high carbon emissions. To remedy this, an environmentally friendly concrete, alkaline-activated slag concrete (AASC), where OPC completely replaced by ground granulated blast-furnace (GGBFS) industrial waste, one the currently pursued research interests. AASC not commonly used construction industry due to limitations experience and knowledge on mix proportions mechanical properties. circumvent...
Natural fillers are recognized as the materials that feature a poor fiber/matrix interaction. As result, their composites behaviors directly compromised. Existing evidence has exhibited nanoparticle can be employed an alternative size to overcome this problem. We thus examined in study effects of rattan filler on physical, thermal, and mechanical properties composite. Neat polypropylene (PP), PP with 5% (PP/R5), glass fiber (PP/FG5) were considered. For performance assessment, particle...
Residential consumption dominates the energy expenditure of heating and cooling systems, especially in tropical climates where building envelopes play an important role efficiency. The thermal properties concrete that are commonly employed as envelope material affect directly human comfort a building. In addressing both performance industrial waste issues, this paper experimentally studies compressive strength used later for comparative analysis comfort. Four design mixes conventional...
This is the first investigation to demonstrate use of biochemical contents present within Cyperus rotundus, Eleusin indica, Euphorbia hirta, Melastoma malabathricum, Clidemia hirta and Pachyrhizus erosus extracts for reduction silver ion nanoparticles (AgNPs) form. In addition, antibacterial capability synthesized AgNPs plant alone against a rare bacterium, Chromobacterium haemolyticum (C. haemolyticum), was examined. Moreover, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform...
Deep mixing method is a soil modification technique, in which the mixed situ with cement stabiliser agents. Limited attempts have been made to investigate failure behaviour of soil–cement columns constructed floating manner. Hence, this paper aims examine mechanisms and bearing capacity columns, 24 mm diameter 100 length were by means replacing below rigid foundation width soft clay bed. Improvement area ratios 17, 26 35% explored for parametric investigation. The close range photogrammetry...
