When did Buddleja davidii become invasive in Slovenia? by Nejc Jogan

“…In Slovenia, a switch from benign naturalized plant to invasiveness occurred just recently, so in the last decade it has been spreading rapidly in the sense of geography and also forming viable competitively strong populations in (semi-)natural habitat types such as abandoned quarries, rocky slopes and river banks. In the article its spreading is presented with some older overlooked records and several new records that more than double our knowledge of the species’ distribution in Slovenia. …”

Influence of Limestone Dust on PV Panel Efficiency in a Small Solar Park in Bulgaria by Penka Zlateva, Angel Terziev, Krastin Yordanov, Martin Ivanov, Borislav Stankov

“…The presented paper analyzes the impact of limestone dust accumulation on photovoltaic (PV) panel performance, focusing on the specific surrounding conditions near quarries. The results from the performed field measurements show that high concentrations of limestone dust accumulate significantly faster in these areas, and a hard layer is formed in the presence of moisture. …”

Dynamic Analysis of Construction and Demolition Waste Management System (A Case Study of Tehran, Iran) by Milad Ghanbari

“…Increasing the rate of construction of housing and urban infrastructure will increase C&D waste and, on the other hand, increase the demand for raw materials, which is contrary to the principles of sustainable development. The increase in quarries exploitation and the increase in C&D waste generation can reduce the buildable area of the city. …”

Coal Bottom Ash for Portland Cement Production by Cristina Argiz, Miguel Ángel Sanjuán, Esperanza Menéndez

“…For instance, it could be used as a Portland cement constituent leading to more sustainable cement production by lowering energy consumption and raw material extracted from quarries. Coal fly and bottom ashes are formed together in the same boiler; however, the size and shape of these ashes are very different, and hence their effect on the chemical composition as well as on the mineralogical phases must be studied. …”
