The process of burning alternative materials such as refused derived fuels is an important topic in current scientific research and industry. Emissions and particulate matters are formatted during the combustion of refused derived fuels (RDF) and it is important to identify the ways of their reduction. This manuscript analyses the influence of factors such as fuel fraction and fuel moisture on particulate matter (PM) concentrations. The findings can assist to better understand the impact of individual factors on a...

Wastewater treatment and desalination are considered important solutions to meet the water scarcity in Jordan. The irrigation with reclaimed wastewater, that usually has elevated salinity levels, may adversely change soil structure, stability, and hydraulic properties. Water traditional desalination techniques require huge energy and capital investments. Zeolites in normal and nano scales enhance the desalination process performance and reduce its economic and energy requirements. In this study, batch experiments ...

Recent research shows that biochar has the potential to improve the chemical, physical and biological properties of soils, which is also reflected in the crops. Because biochar is not a homogeneous material and it often needs to be activated to see its positive effects, it is very important to pay attention to its properties and subsequently to thoroughly verify it in agricultural practice. For this reason, experiments were carried out on two texture different soils (1. Dolna Streda: sandy soil, 2. Velke Ulany: lo...

The asphalt pavement materials which are after the Life cycle can be used in the production of new asphalt mixtures. If its quality of material is not suitable for the production of asphalt mixtures (inhomogeneity of material, soil content, etc.), the material can be used in unbound layers of pavements. The Road materials (new or recycled) are exposed during the operation to the effects of traffic loads and climatic influences, in particular changes in air and humidity temperatures, which are reflected by cyclical...

The regularities of distribution of methane and sulfide sulfur (total sulfide пїЅ ?H2S) in the bottom sediment deposits of therapeutic sulfide mud Lake Bolshoy (Big) Tambukan, located in the region of Caucasian Mineral Waters. Determination of methane and sulfide sulfur were produced in black and dark grey therapeutic mud, as well as in the underlying steel-grey clays and coastal sediments, represented by yellow-brown clay and loam. The formation of therapeutic sulfide mud flows through the biogeochemical environm...
