Recycling furnace slag and fly ash from industrial byproducts to produce slag/ash based zeolite as a new adsorbent material.

This study recycling the industrial byproducts of furnace slag and fly ash to produce slag/ash based zeolite. A scanning electron microscopic/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (SEM/EDS) analysis of this zeolite indicates a high SiO content of 53.94%, an AlO content of 23.

Improvement of Bond Strength and Durability of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Incorporating High Volume Blast Furnace Slag.

This paper aims to experimentally investigate the effects of high volume cement replacement of blast furnace slag (BFS) on the bond, strength and durability of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Concrete mixtures were prepared containing 0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, 60% and 75% BFS with each of recycled aggregate and natural aggregate. Measurements of the compressive and bond strength, the resistance to chloride-ion penetration and the water permeability of concrete are reported.

Analgesic and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of the Ethanolic Extract of Artemisia morrisonensis Hayata in Mice.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible analgesic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of the ethanolic extract of A. morrisonensis Hayata (AM(EtOH)). Two models were employed for evaluation of the analgesic effects: acetic acid-induced writhing response and formalin-induced paw licking.
