Statistically these show higher frequency of internal erosion incidents in dams than other types of core soils. One mechanism that may be influential is suffusion as caused by internal instability, which is one initiation mode of internal erosion. A compilation of 23 laboratory tests on suffusion of glacial till core soil has been compiled of which 13 performed unstable. An assessment of the potential for internal instability is made using five empirical methods that evaluates the shape of the particle size distribution. Evaluation of the database indicates on the methods’ applicability to glacial till gradations, and, furthermore, it reveals that the Kenney-Lau approach and its Li-Fannin adaptation provide predictions relatively more accurate in identifying unstable gradations due to suffusion. A stricter assessment is suggested by extending the Li-Fannin adaptation so that it incorporates a transition zone defined by the range 0.68≤H/F<1.0.","PeriodicalId":18241,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91248112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Impact of air pollutants on some building materials in Cairo atmosphere","authors":"Atef M. F. Mohammed, Inas A. Saleh, S. El-Hemaly","doi":"10.15406/MSEIJ.2021.05.00156","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15406/MSEIJ.2021.05.00156","url":null,"abstract":"Gaseous and particulate air pollutants are significantly affect non-biological materials. Of particular importance are effects on building stones, historic and cultural monuments, which create an important part of our cultural heritage.1–3 The effect of the deposition of atmospheric gases and aerosols on building materials constitutes one of the main damage mechanisms threatening the cultural heritage. Physical changes and chemical interaction occur at the building surface when exposed to outdoor atmosphere. The action of chemicals usually results in irreversible changes. Consequently, chemical damage to materials is of more serious problem.3,4 Dry deposition of gases plays an important role for the deterioration of stone materials. The dry deposition of gaseous air pollutants on stone and other materials is influenced by atmospheric processes and the chemical characteristics of the deposited gas species and of the specific receptor materials.5–7 The absorbed gases may act directly on the material, or first be converted to new substances that are responsible for observed effects. Gaseous pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can react directly with the stone surface by forming acids in the presence of water (or moisture) and oxidizing agents. The formed acids react with the stone to form salts which either crystallize out within the stonework resulting in physical damage or they are washed away resulting in a loss of material.8–10 Sulfurous or sulfuric acids are capable of attacking a wide variety of building materials, including limestone, sandstone, concrete, marble, roofing slate, mortar, etc. Fairly soluble sulfates are formed, which are then leached away by rain.11,12 In Egypt, which is a repository for many buildings of history, museums and monuments, no previously serious study on air pollutants-induced damage on building materials could be traced. The cultural treasures are irreplaceable, so their preservation from the destructive effects of airborne contaminants poses a significant challenge to their present conservators. The aim of this work is to identify the environmental damage caused to some building materials by air pollutants in Cairo atmosphere and to assess to which extent urban and industrial atmosphere affect and accelerate the “natural” corrosion of materials. The study of environmental damage on stones and building materials is of fundamental importance in both the preservation of modern buildings and corrects planning of conservation works on historical monuments, in which such materials are commonly used.","PeriodicalId":18241,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85234403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, flotation tests in Hallimond tube were carried out with high purity apatite crystals using a mixture of a Brazilian fruit (Macaúba) and seed oil (Jatropha Curcas). The tests were carried out at pH 8, using a collector dosage of 2.5 mg/L. The oils were mixed at five different ratios (0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0). The synthetic fatty acid mix called Flotigam 5806, from Clariant, an industrially adopted collector was used as benchmark. Macaúba oil, which is the richest in oleic acid, promoted floatability of apatite similar to Flotigam 5806 (almost 92%) and quite superior to Jatropha oil. One explanation for the low performance of collector based on pure Jatropha oil could be due to its lower content of oleic acid. However, since the Jatropha oil has a lower cost than Macaúba oil, the resulting mixture of the two oils in a ratio of 90:10 (Macaúba: Jatropha) promoted the reduction of collector final cost (8% lower than pure Macaúba oil and 44 % lower than Flotigam 5806) while maintaining the floatability of apatite similar to Flotigam 5806 and pure Macaúba oil. However, prior to application at industrial scale it is recommended to use more laboratory tests using real ore from the plant.","PeriodicalId":18241,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87088746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
