    Abstract: For a long time, many chemical reactions drew on catalysts, products used in smallest quantities compared to products-reagents, to accelerate their kinetics. In certain cases, one of the determining factors to improve these catalysts activities is the use of supports allowing dispersions and thereafter the effectiveness of its active sites.. It is ...

    Abstract: Thermal properties of M30 normal concrete block (NC) were compared with concrete filled with waste poly ethylene terephthalate and waste low density polyethylene aggregates which were used as partial replacement of sand in the production of concrete blocks (plast-cretes). Tests were carried out using 100mm×100mm Cubes and 100mm×200mm Cylinder for C... Show More
