Viable Solution

Accumulation of dredged sediment has raised environmental concern in various countries. Recycling of sediment into bricks is a viable solution to the environmental pollution. Concerning to the utilization of sediment in bricks, this study reviews the needs of characterization on sediment and methods of producing sediment bricks. Particle size distribution was found to be the key criteria for characterization of sediment. Sizes of particles determined the function of the sediments in the bricks. In spite of that, leachability of heavy metals is another important aspect for contaminated sediment. Cementing bricks used cementing materials as the stabilization agent to the heavy metals. It is necessary to conduct leaching test for the end-product of the sediment to ensure the heavy metals leached are within the regulatory limits. In conclusion, method of producing sediment bricks may vary due to the various characteristics of sediment for a promising environmental friendly production.

Great areas of Brazil present lateritic soils, such as the northeast and the south. Some of these soils have, as main characteristic, instable structures that can present considerable volumetric deformation in the presence of water. This behavior, also named collapse, is responsible for several problems on the building construction such as cracks and fractures that can damage the safety of structures. The aim of this paper is to assess the possibility of improvement of collapsible behavior of a lateritic soil using rice husk ash (RHA). A previous characterization of soil and RHA was performed in order to assess the combined effect of soil/RHA. The results are so promising, showing a new alternative to reduce the collapsible behavior of soils using an environmental friendly technology.

Cellulose is a kind of renewable biological template with complex microstructure. Surface sol-gel technology, a practical and environmental-friendly approach to produce silica nanotubes, was discussed in this paper. A series of characterization techniques, namely thermal field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Aztec X-act spectrometer were used to characterize these samples. The design of the nanotube structure was achieved by natural cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and this nanocopying methodology provided silica nanotubes of cellulose template in nanometer precision.

Symmetric and asymmetric polysulfone membranes were fabricated using different of solvents; N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP), Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) at different polymer concentration (15 and 20%) to study the influence of varying type of solvents and polymer concentration in membrane fabrication. The membranes were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR).The results disclosed that the symmetric, higher polymer concentration membrane contributed to better thermal and mechanical stabilities. PSF/THF membrane showed good mechanical strength while PSF/DMAC membrane illustrated great thermal stability. 20% of polymer concentration and PSF/THF membrane led to the thicker skin layer and dense structure formation.

The CH3NH3PbI3 light-absorbing layer shows preferably photovoltaic performance. However, comparing with CH3NH3PbI3 film, the CH3NH3SnI3 film show smaller band gap and wider light absorption range, meanwhile, it is non-toxic and environmental friendly solar cell material. In this paper, different proportions of tin (Sn) was doped into CH3NH3PbI3 film, the atomic ratio of lead-tin strictly controlled to form CH3NH3SnI3 from CH3NH3PbI3. The five different proportions of doping CH3NH3Pb1-xSnxI3 perovskite powders were studied. The morphology of powders was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) were used to analyze the crystallization and the proportion composition of powders, respectively. The experimental results show that the powder crystal orientation was very obvious at the ratio of lead-tin around 1:1.99 and the atomic ratio close to the ideal stoichiometric ratio of doped atoms.
