Effect of accelerated carbonation on fine cement paste aggregates by Marión Bustamante, Viviana Letelier, Bruno Wenzel, Cristian Torres, Estefania Loyola, José Marcos Ortega

“…Regarding the parameters of the accelerated carbonation environment analyzed, for a higher w/c ratio in the original model aggregate, higher initial water content was necessary for the carbonation process to be efficient. As for the mechanical performance of the mortars with model aggregate, the series that incorporated model aggregate aggregates with a w/c ratio of 0.5 achieved better mechanical behavior compared to the series replacing model aggregate with a w/c ratio of 0.7; this was related to the formation of a more compact matrix in the mortar with model aggregate of cementitious pastes.…”

Biosynthesis of Copper nanoparticles using bacterial supernatant optimized with certain agro-industrial byproducts by Abd-Elhalim, B.T., Gamal, R.F., Abou-Taleb, Kh.A., Haroun, A.A.

“…For the bacterial synthesis of CuNPs, optimization of the P. silesinsis strain A3 cell-free supernatant was carried out using seven agro-industrial residues, added to the basal medium as different carbon sources. Results showed that 2% blackstrap sugar cane molasses was the most efficient carbon source for CuNPs biosynthesis, when incubated for at 30°C for 24 h using shaking speed of 120 rpm. …”
