Huge amounts of waste silica generated as a byproduct from aluminum fluoride industries poses heavy economic and environmental challenges.\u0000 The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of replacement of cement with waste nano-silicas (NS) on the characteristics of cement mortar mainly the compressive strength, flexural strength, workability, density, and heat of hydration. Cement was replaced with NS with percentage\u0000 of (0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5%, 4, 6, 8, 10%), with a constant water-to-cement ratio (C/W) of 0.5. Depending on the obtained results, it has been observed that substitution of cement with NS has insignificant adverse impact on the characteristic of the mixture at low content of NS. Slight decrease (5.5%)\u0000 in the compressive strength occurred at 7 days at low substitution percentage (0.5%), and 11.5% at 28 days. Flexure strength decreased by 23% and 55%, workability increased slightly by 1.33% and 6.8% at substitution percentage of 0.5%, and 2.5% respectively. Also, substitution resulted in\u0000 significant reduction in the mortar weight up to 18.49% at substitution percentage of 10%, while insignificant impact on the hydration rate was observed for all substitution percentages. It can be concluded that recycling of waste NS in cement mortar mixture provided an attractive option to\u0000 reduce the impact of waste on the environment, reduce cement consumption, reduce concrete weight, conserve natural resources and save the environment.","PeriodicalId":35783,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid Waste Technology and Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48853217","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}

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was employed to determine the appropriate material for the composter drum. The parameters measured are physical parameters\u0000 which are easy to do by the general public. The parameters observed included pH, temperature, material shrinkage, and leachate level. By considering the characteristics of market waste, which has high water content, it was designed to have two main compartments to accommodate compost and leachate.\u0000 The percentage of compostable volume shrinkage that occurs during the composting process is 61.25%, and the leachate produced is 26.46 liters. The highest temperature of the composting material was 45°C, with a final composting temperature of 31°C. The lowest pH condition occurred\u0000 1 day after composting started with a value of 5.5, then the pH value increased gradually until the final composting process (pH 7).

The disposal of municipal solid waste in an open dumpsite in Bahir Dar has an environmental impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, eutrophication, and leachate. The quantity\u0000 of greenhouse gases emitted from the open dumpsite of Bahir Dar city was determined by using IPCC default method. Currently around 148 tons/day waste is generated from Bahir Dar city and from these waste 58% of the waste is disposed into open dump site. From the waste disposal site 46Gg/year\u0000 of greenhouse gas is emitted. The molecular formula that was determined from organic waste of the city is C24H36O13N. By using this molecular formula of the organic waste, the theoretical oxygen demand becomes 38.75 and then the eutrophication potential of\u0000 organic waste generated from Bahirdar city was 0.0594 Kg N-equivalent or 59.4g N-equivalent. The average annual leachate resulting from the waste reaches 1,112mm per day. Bahir Dar city should start to implement 3R (Reduction, Reuse and Recycling) solid waste management options in order to\u0000 reduce potential environmental impacts. For more investigation quantification of the other impacts associated with municipal solid waste is recommended.","PeriodicalId":35783,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid Waste Technology and Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48881514","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}

It is a component to appraise in carrot production. Application of synthetic nematicides as control measures is unsafe to humans and detrimental to the environment. Development of safe control process\u0000 is worthwhile. Effect of three peels (potato, pineapple, orange) and composited soil from municipal refuse dump site was assessed and compared with carbofuran a standard synthetic nematicide at four different doses (0, 1500, 2000, 2500g and 2.0kg/a. i/ha, 1.5kg/a. i/ha, 1.0kg/a. i/ha and 0kg/a.\u0000 i/ha for carbofuran) on carrot plants. The concentrations of heavy metals like Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, Cr, Mn, Zn and Fe in the composited soil was determined with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Experimental pots were inoculated with approximately 2000 M. incognita juveniles, in\u0000 a randomized complete block design experiment. The composited municipal refuse soil was analysed for the presence of fungi and bacteria using molecular methods based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Reproduction and multiplication of M. incognita was significantly (p<0.05) low with all\u0000 the treatment materials. Best inhibitory effect was observed in the soil of carrot plants treated with composited soil which had 49 nematode populations at harvest rather than 4606 recorded in untreated plants. Equally, heavier carrots were harvested in plants administered with composited\u0000 soil (1309.6 gram), while the control plants had poor weight (312.7 gram). Performance of each waste material was quantity dependent. Gene sequencing revealed the presence of Pseudomonas alcaligenes strain ATCC 14909, P. putida strain ATCC 12633, P. aeruginosa strain ATCC\u0000 10145, Pseudomonas stutzeri NBRC 14165, Acinetobacter venetianus ATCC 31012, Enterobacter cloacae ATCC 130047, Streptomyces spp B7-3TC02, Bacillus subtilis NBRC 13719, Aspergillus niger strain MPVCT 158, Penicillium georgiense strain EV 24\u0000 and Rhizopus oryzae strain ATCC 20344, which are beneficial soil microorganisms. The metal concentration analysis of the composited municipal refuse dump soil exhibited low concentrations of heavy metals which ranges from 0.002-1.03 mg/kg with Zinc (Zn) having the highest concentration.\u0000 The waste materials are cheap and ecofriendly option that can be adopted as soil amendment in M. incognita infested fields to significantly boost yield in carrot production and reduce reliance on mineral fertilizer.
