Membranes Coated with Graphene-Based Materials: A Review.

Graphene is a popular material with outstanding properties due to its single layer. Graphene and its oxide have been put to the test as nano-sized building components for separation membranes with distinctive structures and adjustable physicochemical attributes. Graphene-based membranes have exhibited excellent water and gas purification abilities, which have garnered the spotlight over the past decade.

Factors affecting co-valorization of fayalitic and ferronickel slags for the production of alkali activated materials.

The first objective of this experimental study is the assessment of the alkali activation potential of two types of fayalitic slags, an as-received one (FS) and the one obtained after plasma treatment (FSP) of the initial FS, for the production of alkali activated materials (AAMs). Furthermore, the second objective is the elucidation of the co-valorization potential of FS and FSP slags when mixed with ferronickel (FeNi) slag (LS). The alkaline activating solution used was a mixture of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (NaSiO).
