Characterization of olive mill wastewater in three climatic zones in the North of Jordan by Mamoun Gharaibeh, A. Albalasmeh Ammar, Hanady Abu Abbas

“…Physicochemical characterization and multivariate analysis were performed.Results OMW is characterized by acidic conditions (pH< 5.0), high electrical conductivity (EC) (>7 dS/m), and high total phenols (2700 mg/L) and organic loads (chemical oxygen demand [COD] 41340 mg/L). OMW in the sub-humid climate contained higher total phenols, COD, EC, Ca, and K than other climates. …”

The Time Effect and Micromechanism of the Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cement Modified Slurries by Ping Jiang, Yewen Chen, Lin Zhou, Tianhao Mao, Wei Wang, Junping Yuan, Na Li

“…We conducted scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) tests to analyze the microstructure and chemical composition of the CMS. The microscopic test results demonstrated that the increase of cement content and curing age increased the amount of gelling substances in the CMS and made the overall structure more compact, thereby increasing its macro strength.…”
