Enhancing the production of biogas through anaerobic co-digestion of agricultural waste and chemical pre-treatments by Almomani F.

“…The results revealed that the highest cumulative methane production (CMP) of 297.99 NL/kgVS can be generated by co-digestion of ASWs and CD at a ratio of 60:40. Further improvement was achieved via alkalinity treatment with 1.0 g of NaHCO3/gVS leading to decrease in lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose contents of feedstock by 3.5%, 10.5% and 15.9%, respectively, converting them to soluble fractions and improving the CMP by 11.2–29.7% based on substrate quality. …”

Recycled Polypropylene Fibres for Reinforcing Cement Mortar under Arid Conditions by Bendjillali, Khadra

“…The obtained results showed a substantial increase in the flow time of about 53% in mortar reinforced by 1% of recycled polypropylene fibres (1RPFM). It is also shown that under arid conditions, the presence of 1% of recycled polypropylene fibres in cement mortar leads to a considerable decrease in total shrinkage of about 46% and an increase in the flexural and compressive strength of about 24% and 26%, respectively, compared to control mortar (CM) at the age of 194 days. …”
