Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Weathering Layer Characteristics over OPL-135 in the Western Part of the Niger Delta Basin, South-South, NigeriaOkechukwu Frank Adizua, Adekunle Oyemade Sofolabo, Olomu Ivory Obi-EgbediAn up-hole seismic refraction survey was carried out in OPL-135 in the Western part of the Niger Delta Basin, (SS) Nigeria. A total of thirty seven (37) up-hole locations in a (4.0×3.750) km grid configuration were drilled and logged over the prospect. The focal objective for the study was to assess the weathering layer characteristics over the prospect, specifically, to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2021 · 11,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSoil-moisture Retention Characteristics of Earth Materials in the Weathering Profile over a Porphyritic Biotite GraniteJohn Kuna RajProblem statement: Three broad morphological zones and several sub-zones were differentiated within the weathering profile based on variations in earth materials and the degree of preservation of original bedrock minerals, textures and structures. Approach: The topmost Zone I (Grade 6) is some 12 m thick and comprises completely weathered bedrock materials (mainly a stiff, clayey sand) with indistinct relict bedrock … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,466 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFull Scale Tests of Short-Term Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Bottom Ash Weathering Before Landfill DisposalFranco Marchese, Giuseppe GenonProblem statement: Natural weathering is the most economic method of treatment in order to reduce the release of heavy metals present in the residue. Approach: The aim of the study was to optimize the minimum weathering times that were useful to reduce the lead release to within the Italian limits for landfill disposal. The mechanism of short-term weathering of MSWI … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfiltration Characteristics of Granitic Residual Soil of Various Weathering GradesFaisal H. Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, T. H. LowThis study presents the result of a field study on the infiltration characteristics of cut a slope in granitic residual soil of various weathering grades. Granitic residual soil of weathering grade IV is found to have the highest infiltration rate. Water infiltration is found to increase from grade VI to IV and decrease from grade IV to grade III. Water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Method for the Non-Destructive Assessment of Strength Degradation and Re-Use Potential of Weathered Float Glass From Facades: A Proof of Concept StudyFred Veer, Mauro Overend, Irene Sofokleous, Chris NoteboomLack of knowledge about the properties of weathered (used) glass is currently a major barrier to glass reuse. This results in probably unnecessary recycling or down-cycling of architectural glass at the end of life. Avoiding this creates a significant opportunity to reduce resource depletion and decarbonize the built environment. This can be done by developing an optical non-destructive test method … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 19 Oct 2023 · 9,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of Soil and Mineral Characteristics in Supporting Sustainable AgricultureIda Suryani, Marliana Sjuaib Palad, Nur Fitriani et al.Soil consists of four main components: Minerals, organic matter, air, and water, which are arranged in the space to form the soil body. Inorganic minerals in the soil come from rock fragments and other primary minerals. Sustainable soil fertility is supported by the nutrient content contained in the minerals. The research objectives were: 1) to observe the physical and chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2025 · 5,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPollution Characteristics and Sources Analysis of Soil Heavy Metal in Taoyuan Coal Mine of Suzhou CityHaimin SuSoil is one of the most important resources and an important part of ecosystem in the development of human survival. The purposes of this study are to investigate concentration characteristics and sources analysis of heavy metals in Taoyuan coal mine of Suzhou City. 30 soil samples were collected and characterized for metal concentration (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn and As), … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2022 · 5,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemistry of Siloam and Tshipise Geothermal Springs, Limpopo Province, South AfricaOlatunde Samod Durowoju, John Ogony Odiyo, Georges-Ivo Ekosse EkosseGeothermal springs are natural geological phenomena that occur throughout the world, and South Africa (SA) is endowed with several springs of this nature. Most of the geothermal springs in SA (31%) are found in Limpopo Province. Assessment of geochemistry of Siloam and Tshipise geothermal springs were undertaken during 2014 winter (May – July) and summer (October – December) seasons. Water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2018 · 8,533 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom Plastic Waste to Building Material: Mechanical Properties of Recycled Thermoplastic TimberMonica Valdés, Nicoletta Trulli, Barbara De NicoloThe present paper illustrates the mechanical properties of a new structural product called Recycled Thermoplastic Timber (RTT), manufactured in Sardinia (Italy) and made of recycled plastics. The preliminary results of an experimental campaign aimed at assessing the main mechanical and physical properties of RTT are presented and discussed. Unreinforced and steel-reinforced thermoplastic timber profiles have been tested in laboratory and … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2018 · 13,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIODEGRADABILITY AND MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF SUGAR PALM STARCH BASED BIOPOLYMERJ. Sahari, S. M. Sapuan, E. S. Zainudin, M. A. MalequeA new Sugar Palm Starch (SPS) based biopolymer was successfully developed using glycerol as plasticizer. The effect of glycerol concentration (viz., 15, 20, 30 and 40 by weight percent) to the mechanical properties of plasticized SPS biopolymer was investigated. From this investigation, it was found that the 30% glycerol concentrated biopolymer showed the highest flexural strength and impact with the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 10 Nov 2014 · 7,704 accessesView PDFCite
