Sonication-Assisted Decellularization of Waste Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Heads for Extracellular Matrix Extraction

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), which is extensively farmed globally and ranks as the second most cultivated fish in the Philippines, generates significant amounts of waste that are often underutilized. One specific type of waste material consists of fish heads, which contain a valuable source of extracellular matrix (ECM). This study aims to evaluate the effects of sonication as a viable decellularization method for the extraction of ECM from tilapia fish heads. Particularly, two treatments were tested on the head samples: sonication-assisted decellularization (dWS) using a water bath sonicator, and decellularization without sonication (dNS), each with different contact times (5 min and 10 min). Histological analysis with H and E staining and DNA quantification revealed that sonication-assisted samples (dWS) showed a greater reduction in basophilic components and DNA content, achieving a 93.7% removal rate. These dWS samples also had the highest protein loss, retaining only 33.86% of the original protein. SDS–PAGE analysis indicated that both dWS and dNS samples maintained similar collagen structures, as evidenced by identical subunit bands. ATR–FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of collagen type I in all samples, detecting characteristic amides A, B, I, II, and III. The results revealed that varying treatments and contact times had significant effects on the physical and mechanical properties of the decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM). These findings highlight the effectiveness of sonication in the decellularization process, particularly for utilizing waste tilapia heads.

Study on use of recycled waste materials on the performance of asphalt binder and mixes: A comprehensive review

All aspects of daily living frequently involve the use of plastics. Due to the lack of effective waste treatment methods, massive global environmental problems will be caused by the accumulation of waste plastics. The use of waste materials in road building is of tremendous interest since it has the potential to reduce hazards and pollution while conserving natural resources. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), and polyvinyl chloride are the most appropriate and relevant of waste plastics. There are other types of waste materials used in the asphalt such as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), crumb rubber (CR), steel slag, glass powder etc. These all-waste materials have been briefly discussed. In this review article several concerns have been raised about the physical and chemical qualities, of asphalt pavements that have been mixed with waste materials. Using waste materials in asphalt pavements can raise several concerns regarding the physical and chemical qualities of the resulting mixtures. These concerns typically revolve around factors such as durability, performance, environmental impact, and overall sustainability. This research article provides a thorough analysis of the wet and dry procedures used to mix different types of waste plastics. Overall, including waste plastics into asphalt mix improved rutting, fatigue, and moisture resistance. Additionally, recycling waste plastics in this manner helps in reducing environmental pollution and conserving natural resources. Overall, the inclusion of waste plastics in asphalt mixtures can contribute to the development of more sustainable and durable pavements with improved performance in terms of rutting, fatigue, and moisture resistance. There are still certain issues like compatibility and low temperature performances that need to be addressed. To overcome the aforementioned issues, many strategies are used, including the use of nanomaterials, chemical additives, and polymer additives. Additional research should be conducted to investigate the ageing effect, pavement performance monitoring, polymer stability, and the economic and environmental considerations associated with the usage of plastics in asphalt pavements.

Use of Lignin, Waste Tire Rubber, and Waste Glass for Soil Stabilization

The complex interactions between soil and additives such as lignin, glass powder, and rubber tires were investigated using principles of material and soil mechanics. Previous research has mainly focused on individual additives in clay soils. In contrast, this study investigates soil improvement with two different types of waste materials simultaneously. The improvement of soil properties by hybrid waste materials was evaluated using several laboratory tests, including the standard Proctor test, the unconfined compressive strength test, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test, and cyclic triaxial tests. The aim of this research is to identify key parameters for the design and construction of road pavements and to demonstrate that improving the subgrade with hybrid waste materials contributes significantly to the sustainability of road construction. The mechanical and physical properties were evaluated in detail to determine the optimal mixtures. The results show that the most effective mixture for the combination of waste glass powder and rubber tires contains 20% glass powder and 3% rubber tires, based on the dry weight of the soil. For the combination of waste glass powder and lignin, the optimum mixture consists of 15% glass powder and 15% lignin, based on the dry weight of the soil. These results provide valuable insights into the sustainable use of waste materials for soil stabilization in road construction projects.

Artificial lightweight aggregate made from alternative and waste raw materials, hardened using the hybrid method

Lightweight aggregates are a material used in many industries. A huge amount of this material is used in construction and architecture. For the most part, lightweight construction aggregates are obtained from natural resources such as clay raw materials that have the ability to swell at high temperatures. Resources of these clays are limited and not available everywhere. Therefore, opportunities are being sought to produce lightweight artificial aggregates that have interesting performance characteristics due to their properties. For example, special preparation techniques can reduce or increase the water absorption of such an aggregate depending on the needs and application. The production of artificial lightweight aggregate using various types of waste materials is environmentally friendly as it reduces the depletion of natural resources. Therefore, this article proposes a method of obtaining artificial lightweight aggregate consolidated using two methods: drum and dynamic granulation. Hardening was achieved using combined methods: sintering and hydration, trying to maintain the highest possible porosity. Waste materials were used, such as dust from construction rubble and residues from the processing of PET bottles, as well as clay from the Bełchatów mine as a raw material accompanying the lignite overburden. High open porosity of the aggregates was achieved, above 30%, low apparent density of 1.23 g/cm3, low leachability of approximately 250 µS. The produced lightweight aggregates could ultimately be used in green roofs.

Effect of Soil Stabilization on Structural Design of Flexible Pavement

Inadequate subgrade conditions often diminish the lifespan of pavements built on these soils. However, this challenge can be addressed through various methods, including soil stabilization, which enhances soil strength. This research focuses on soil stabilization using two types of waste materials (rubber and plastic) as additives in concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%, along with a consistent cement inclusion of 3% across all samples. Different tests, such as Sieve analysis, Atterberg Limits, Specific Gravity, Standard proctor Test and California Bearing Ratio, were performed for both the soil and the additive materials. As a result, this stabilization approach improved the California Bearing Ratio (CBR), leading to thinner pavement layers, which potentially lowers construction costs. Notably, the highest CBR observed was 49.95% with 10% plastic, while the top result for rubber was a 28.01% CBR at 5% inclusion. These enhancements in CBR values contributed to reducing the total thickness of the pavement layers by (435 mm) for both materials.

Vision-based method to identify materials transported by dump trucks

Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) materials are highly valuable as, in most cases, they can be reused. In other cases, such material can be highly pollutant. Therefore, their traceability becomes very important in the frame of sustainable development. Computer vision-based solutions have the potential to recognize different forms of construction waste material. This study provides a vision-based framework to identify C&DW transported by dump trucks before entering landfills. The proposed framework is composed of two main models: a semantic segmentation model to isolate the content of the dump truck, and a classification model to identify the C&DW in the image patches created by the superimposition of the segmentation mask and the input image. The results of the classification model are used to assess the homogeneity of the content and the main type of waste material contained in the dump truck. The semantic segmentation model achieves an IoU of 0.945 and an average inference time of 0.388s on a CPU, and the classification model achieves a F1-score of 0.965. To validate the proposed framework, various data collection attempts have been conducted in real landfills. The validation tests achieved an average accuracy of 99.0% in identifying the main material in the dump truck and an average accuracy of 94.8% in evaluating its homogeneity. The developed framework performed its inference in 0.899 s on a CPU.

Prefeasibility Analysis of Different Anaerobic Digestion Upgrading Pathways Using Organic Kitchen Food Waste as Raw Material

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a widely applied technology for renewable energy generation using biogas as energy vector. The existing microbial consortium in this technology allows for the use of several types of biomass as substrates. A promising alternative for the production of high-value products (e.g., mixed volatile fatty acids–VFAs, hydrogen) is the use of modified AD. There are several techniques to achieve this objective by modifying the operating conditions of the process. The literature has described the best AD routes for generating renewable energy or high-value products based on specific substrate types and operating conditions. Few studies have reported the integral fraction valorization of the AD process applying the biorefinery concept. This article provides an analysis of the different routes that favor the production of energy carriers and high-value products involving key issues related to operating conditions and substrates. Moreover, AD is addressed through the biorefinery concept. Finally, a case study is presented where renewable energy and mixed VFAs are generated by applying the biorefinery concept in a number of proposed scenarios using organic kitchen food waste (OKFW) as feedstock. The case study involves an experimental and simulation stage. Then, the economic feasibility of the proposed scenarios is evaluated. In conclusion, AD is a promising and economically feasible technology to produce valuable products from several types of waste materials.

Statistical analysis using the RSM approach of the physical behavior of green polymerized eco-mortar

In order to develop an innovative, environmentally friendly composite materials for the construction industry, this study aims to exploit three types of waste material to manufacture cement mortars for producing lightweight concretes, ecologically friendly paving slabs and pavers. For this purpose, the response surface methodology (RSM) was investigated to predict and optimize the physical properties of mortars made from dune sand (DS) combined with recycled sand (RS), which are abundant in the desert and considered as waste products, reinforced by polymerized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers of two different lengths, 20 mm and 30 mm, respectively. This investigation was carried out to assess the material's capacity in terms of engineering criteria, including air content in the fresh state (Ac), shrinkage (Sh), flexural displacement (Yf), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), and water absorption (WA). Further, the chemical composition and mineralogical transformations at high temperatures of the produced mortar were examined. The ANOVA analysis of variance and a desirability function (DF) test are developed based on the Box-Behnken Design to predict and optimize variables and output responses by maximizing the mechanical properties and minimizing the physical properties. The obtained results reveal a significant improvement in the physical properties of the mortars, 6.25% Sh, 43% Yf, 4.65% UPV, and 6.54% WA, confirming the beneficial effect of fiber-reinforced products compared with those without fibers. The proposed quadratic model proves the validity of the experimental results with a better accuracy of less than 4.5% error. The optimal formulation obtained in this protocol consisted of 50% DS, 50% RS, and 2% PET, with a length of 12.70 mm. This mix yielded 0.799% Ac, −95.28 μm/m Sh, 5.79 mm Yf, 3855.11 m/s UPV, and 11.91% WA, presenting an attractive option for applications in eco-construction sustainability. Therefore, The RSM model correlates well with the experimental data, which has contributed to an improvement in the physical-mechanical features. Consequently, this eco-mortar has several applications in buildings, roads, bridges, for bending elements (beams, slabs) and can also be used for repairing damaged structures.

Possibility of production high strength lightweight concrete containing organic waste aggregate and recycled steel fibers

Abstract This study combines two types of waste materials to achieve sustainable lightweight concrete (LWC) including agricultural and industrial wastes that hold high potential to reduce global environmental pollution. A novel application of 35% treated date seed (DS) wastes as partially replaced by volume to natural coarse aggregate in producing sustainable LWC was investigated. Calcium hydroxide solution was utilized as a treatment to extract cellulose from the achieved hemicelluloses of the DS. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was utilized to analyze the structural characteristics of the isolated cellulosic samples before and after treatment. Then different volume fractions of steel fibers (0.5, 0.75, and 1%) recycled from scrap tires were added to the LWC with 35% DS. Several experimental tests, including slump test, compressive strength, oven-dry density, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and water penetration depth, were carried out in this investigation. The results demonstrate that concrete containing 35% DS and reinforced with 1% recycled steel fibers show enhancement in the compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths by about 15.2, 32.6, and 58.2%, respectively, and reduces the permeability by 16.1% relative to the reference concrete mixture.

Utilization of the heat from combustion of water for the heating process in water desalination

The volume of municipal waste has become a national problem so far, so a solution is needed to reduce the waste problem. One solution to reduce the volume of municipal waste is to burn waste. However, the combustion needs to be designed to take advantage of the heat generated by combustion. In this study, the process of burning waste with various types of waste materials was carried out. The heat of burning waste is used to evaporate 1 liter of seawater and the seawater vapor is cooled to produce distilled water. The volume of distilled water and the precipitated salt were weighed. The results of the research from the variation of 6 types of waste materials obtained that the type of clothing waste material gave the fastest time, which was 43.75 minutes, the amount of distilled water was 931 ml, and salt deposited as much as 30 grams. The test results on distilled water showed that almost all parameters met the requirements of drinking water and obtained a salt content of 84%. Further processing by adjusting the hardness is needed to process distilled water into clean water and the addition of iodine can be considered to produce iodized salt.

Critical Review of Field Studies of Chemical Surface Coatings to Mitigate Leaching from Mining Wastes.

Source control of mine drainage and leachate from mining wastes is ideal, but there is limited use of control methods aside from removal of wastes to repositories or capping wastes in situ. In some locations, neither removal nor capping is possible; thus, there is renewed interest in understanding technologies for coating mining wastes. This paper presents the current state of knowledge from a critical review of the few field case studies where chemical coating technologies have been applied to mined surfaces (e.g. a highwall) or mining wastes. It also includes laboratory studies where the same technology was examined on the same type of waste material as the field studies. The chemicals used in field studies for coating mining wastes were magnesium oxide, potassium permanganate, silicate compounds, phosphate compounds, and a furfuryl alcohol resin sealant. Descriptions of the methods employed, and results obtained are provided. Limitations of the individual studies and of the technologies in general are discussed. Potential reasons why coating technologies have not been commonly used are presented, along with further research needs.

STUDY ON IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT IN MINIMIZING CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL WASTE

The implementation of a building construction project is unavoidable from the emergence of waste material. Construction material waste is defined as something that is over what is required. This study intends to find the application of construction waste management in building construction projects to minimize the waste material. Data was collected using observation, interviews, and distributing questionnaires to 4 building project parties in Central Java using a random sampling method. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive analysis to determine the type and cause of the highest waste material and supported by regression and correlation analysis to assess the application of ways to minimize waste material. The results of data analysis show that the most types of waste material are formwork wood, reinforcing steel, concrete, and cement. The factor causing waste material that most often occurs is the design change factor that comes from the design phase. Based on the analysis, the effort to minimize waste material that is the most influential on it is improving the quality of tool and material management by providing training to construction personnel related to materials construction used

LOCALLY CHARACTERISED REPETITIVE ILLEGAL LANDFILLS CLASSIFICATION

Illegal dumping of waste material is present in almost all local communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including in the areas of urban and rural local communities of the City of Tuzla. Uncontrolled waste dumping at the landfields, as the illegal dumping, are created by dumping different types of waste material in areas that are not intended for waste material disposal. These are areas that are usually next to roads with less traffic, or in the immediate vicinity of roads where access is possible for motor vehicles with a lower load capacity. Illegal landfills have a direct negative impact on the living environment from several aspects. Primarily, watercourses and soil are polluted, the ambient space is disturbed, and by attracting animals, there is the possibility of infections that are dangerous for the population. Waste materials in illegal landfills are often deliberately set on fire, which causes additional problems of air pollution with smoke and gases resulting from combustion, as well as the possibility of fire outbreaks, especially in forest areas. In the current practice, illegal waste landfills did not have scientific and professional interest because they are often of a temporary nature and were not considered interesting from the aspect of the scientific approach to defining landfills by different classifications. This paper defines the classification of illegal landfills in the spheres of data processing possibilities of interest for the treatment of illegal waste landfills, and the experimental definition of the classification was confirmed on the example of the recording and analysis of illegal waste landfills in the local community of Kiseljak, City of Tuzla in the phase of implementing the project „Inclusive development of Kiseljak community for improvement of social and economic aspect of citizens, emphasizing Roma population“, finance by Foundation of Tuzla community, Tuzla. The basis of the classification is made up of repetitive local waste landfills, while permanent regional waste landfills are not the subject of research and classification since there are already known classifications for permanent waste material landfills. Consent for the publication of the paper was given by the Tuzla Community Foundation, which financed the referral research within the project "Inclusive development of the Kiseljak community, for the improvement of the social and economic aspects of the citizens' life, especially the Roma", implemented by the Tuzla Community Foundation in partnership and financial support of the Freudenberg Foundation and the German Federal Ministry for External Development (BMZ).

Evaluation of As-Received Green Liquor Dregs and Biomass Ash Residues from a Pulp and Paper Industry as Raw Materials for Geopolymers

This study aimed to investigate the impact of as-received biomass fly ashes (BFA) and green liquor dregs obtained from a pulp and paper plant in Brazil as substitutes for metakaolin in geopolymeric formulations. The properties of this type of waste material vary widely between different industrial plants. This study refrains from subjecting the waste materials to any form of pretreatment, taking into account their organic matter and particle size heterogeneity, requiring extensive characterization to evaluate their influence on the compressive strength, apparent open porosity, and water absorption of the geopolymeric samples. The objective was to assess their potential for upcycling purposes as an alternative to energy-intensive materials, such as ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and advanced ceramics. This potential arises from the ability of alkali-activated materials (AAM) to undergo curing at ambient temperatures, coupled with the possibility of compositions primarily derived from waste materials. To improve the sustainability of the products, the amorphous content of the raw material, which is more reactive than crystalline phases, was quantified and used as the base for mixture ratios. This approach aimed to reduce the requirement for alkaline activators, which have significant environmental impacts, while also increasing the waste content in the formulation. The incorporation of waste materials into the geopolymer matrix generally led to a reduction in the compressive strength compared to the benchmark metakaolin sample (19.4 MPa) but did not present a trend. The dregs led to values of 4.1 MPa at 25 wt% and 7.1 MPa at 50 wt%, a behavior that is somewhat counterintuitive, and BFA at 10 wt% presented 5.7 MPa. Nevertheless, the apparent open porosity remained at high levels for all the samples, close to 50%, and the compressive strength of most of them was over the values obtained for the metakaolin-only samples with mixture ratios calculated from the total composition instead of the amorphous composition. The decrease in strength and the increase in porosity were attributed to the specific characteristics of the waste materials, such as their high crystallinity, presence of organic matter, heterogeneous particle composition, and size. Overall, this study provides insight into the variations in geopolymerization based on the bulk and amorphous content of the aluminosilicate sources and how the characteristics of the waste materials influence the geopolymer matrix. It also highlights how calculating mixture ratios based on the amorphous composition improves the possibility of waste valorization through alkali activation. Additionally, it suggests that BFA and dregs might be effectively utilized in applications other than OPC substitution, such as adsorption, filtration, and catalysis.

Analisis Limbah Material Pekerjaan Arsitektural pada Pembangunan Perumahan Subsidi Di Kota Langsa

Abstract Residual construction material is defined as something that is more than what was planned, both from the results of the work and the remaining, damaged, or lost material so that it can no longer be used according to its intended purpose. From the results of observations that have been made in several subsidized housing locations in Langsa City, there are many leftover materials from architectural work, because of that it is necessary to do an analysis of the type of waste material, the causes of waste and waste prevention measures that are often carried out. The method in this study uses descriptive statistical methods using Kendall's W so that rankings are obtained for variables, types of waste material, factors that cause waste, and waste prevention actions that are often carried out. The results of this study, the type of material that has the largest quantity is sand with a total score of 97, cement with a total score of 93, and red brick with a total score of 45. The dominant factor causing the amount of remaining architectural work material in subsidized housing is external factors with a total score of 116, material management with a total score of 83, and workers with a total score of 80. Then the form of preventive action that can minimize the waste of material that is often done is checking periodically (monitoring) with a total score of 125, purchasing materials as needed with a total score of 125, and increased coordination between workers with a total score of 124.

Properties of pervious concrete made with different types of waste aggregate-A literature review

Pervious concrete, also known as porous concrete, contains interconnected pores that allow water from various sources to pass through. This type of concrete is generally used for pavement construction to protect the environment. Pervious concrete contains only coarse aggregate and sometime very small amount of fine aggregate. Many researches were conducted to develop an efficient type of pervious concrete with different types and combination of aggregates. In many studies, along with natural stone aggregate, other types of waste materials were also tried to use as a coarse aggregate in the mix design of pervious concrete. Some of waste materials showed very promising characteristics which can be effectively used in the mix design of pervious concrete with double environmental benefits. This review article provides an overview of some of the earlier investigations on pervious concrete made from waste and industrial by-product materials. The relationships between crushing strength, porosity and water permeability of the pervious concrete with different types of aggregate are presented in this paper. Steel slag, recycled aggregate, and palm oil clicker were among the waste materials utilized as aggregate in pervious concrete, showed comparable performance; even in some instances, better performance was achieved than pervious concrete made with conventional natural aggregate. The shape of waste aggregate, described by the elongation and flakiness indices, greatly affects the strength properties and water infiltration rate of pervious concrete. If these indices are high, the strength properties of the pervious concrete are significantly reduced, but the water permeability is significantly increased.

Marine Clay Soil Treated with Demolished Tile Waste: A Systematic Literature Review

This systematic literature review investigates the stabilization of marine clay soil using demolished tile waste. The study adopts the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) method to comprehensively analyze existing research in this area.The utilization of waste materials for soil stabilization has gained significant attention due to environmental concerns and sustainability objectives. In this review, we explore the effectiveness of using demolished tile waste as a stabilizer for marine clay soil. The analysis reveals that different types of waste materials exhibit varying degrees of improvement in the soil's properties. The results demonstrate a consistent increase in shear strength after stabilization, indicating the suitability of demolished tile waste as a stabilizing agent for soft clay soils. Interestingly, the highest strength is not obtained at the largest additive quantities. Instead, most research papers report a peak in strength at specific additive proportions and curing time, followed by a decline. This phenomenon occurs when the hydration process is complete, and large lumps form between the clay particles. Furthermore, the size of the additive also plays a crucial role in enhancing the strength of problematic soils. Optimal additive size leads to better distribution and interaction with the clay particles, contributing to improved stabilization results. This review provides valuable insights into the potential of utilizing demolished tile waste for enhancing the engineering properties of marine clay soil. The findings highlight the importance of carefully selecting the type and quantity of additives to achieve the desired stabilization outcomes.

The proliferation of civilization, industry, and urbanization, along with population growth, has contributed significantly to the generation of waste materials, and this trend continues to this day. Such waste has far-reaching impacts on both human health and the environment, leading to environmental degradation and rendering it non-environmentally friendly. To address these concerns, many scientists have directed towards the possibility of using waste materials as a substitute for some components of the concrete mixture. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of incorporating such materials such as (coal bottom ash (CBA), waste plastic and fibers, wood waste, and soft drink bottle caps) in enhancing concrete's properties, including durability, compressive and tensile strength, water content, slump flow, and suitability for reuse in engineering projects. The use of such materials not only provides an economic solution but also promotes environmental preservation by mitigating environmental problems.
