The concrete supply chain in the construction industry still relies on analog processes that hinder traceability, compromise transaction reliability, and lead to conflicts between contractors and suppliers. These challenges ...

Ammonia is used worldwide as a fertilizer, but its application as a hydrogen carrier has recently grown. It has the capacity to store hydrogen at 17.7% by weight (corresponding to 120 g/L), superior to methanol (12.5%). ...

Research on the incorporation of water treatment plant sludge (WTS) into cementitious mortars plays an important role in environmental sustainability by enabling the reuse of solid waste and reducing improper disposal. ...

Oil exploration is one of the main sources of global energy, but it also generates large volumes of produced water (PW), an effluent with a high concentration of pollutants, which impacts the environment and creates a ...

In 2021, the world generated approximately 139 million metric tons of disposable plastic waste. The wide variety of polymers that make up plastics makes this material relatively low-cost and widely used. However, when ...

The growing concern over plastic pollution, particularly from non-biodegradable packaging materials used in agriculture, has driven the search for sustainable alternatives. Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is a promising ...

This study employed polychaetes and corals as tools to determine the occurrence of harmful substances in the environment, such as sulfur-containing Polycyclic Aromatic Heterocycles (PASHs) and the metal mercury (Hg), along ...

The corrosion of reinforced concrete steel bars significantly reduces the service life of struc-tures and can be accelerated in aggressive environments, such as chloride-rich atmos-pheres, where pitting corrosion may occur. ...

The industrial production chain is responsible for generating large volumes of waste and effluents, which are generally disposed of inappropriately in the environment, causing environmental impacts. In the coconut ...
