Mechanical, durability and thermal properties of foamed concrete reinforced with synthetic twisted bundle macro-fibers by Othuman Mydin, Md Azree, Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun, Omar, Roshartini, Anmar Dulaimi, Anmar Dulaimi, Hadee Mohammed Najm, Hadee Mohammed Najm, Shaker Mahmood Abdal Qaidi, Shaker Mahmood Abdal Qaidi, Mohanad Muayad Sabri Sabri, Mohanad Muayad Sabri Sabri

“…Compression, flexural, splitting tensile, flow table, porosity, water absorption and thermal conductivity tests were conducted to establish the thermal, mechanical and durability properties of SF-reinforced FC. The findings imply that the integration of SF into FC results in a significant enhancement of the material’s strength and thermal conductivity properties while simultaneously lowering the material’s capacity for water absorption and porosity. …”

Steel Slag and Limestone as a Rock Filter for Eliminating Phosphorus from Domestic Wastewater: A Pilot Study in a Warm Climate by Maarup, Syahrul Nizam, Hamdan, Rafidah, Othman, Norzila, Adel Al-Gheethi, Adel Al-Gheethi, Sadeq Alkhadher, Sadeq Alkhadher, M. M. Abd El-Hady, M. M. Abd El-Hady, S. El-Sayed Saeed, S. El-Sayed Saeed

“…The VASSF achieved a removal percentage at 30% of TP, biological oxygen demand (BOD; 89%), chemical oxygen demand (COD; 75%), total suspended solids (TSS; 73%), and total coliforms (TC; 96%), recorded with 7 L/min of an airflow rate and 1.04 m3/m3 .day of hydraulic loading rate (HLR) at potential of hydrogen (pH) 7.3 and 5.09 mg/L of dissolved oxygen (DO). These findings indicated that the steel slag is higher than limestone in TP removal, because of ion exchange between phosphorus hydrolysis and the adsorption process. …”
