• Wastes as Aggregates, Binders or Additions in Mortars: Selecting Their Role Based on Characterization 

      Brazao Farinha, Catarina; Brito, Jorge de; Veiga, Rosário; Fernández, J.M.; Jiménez, José Ramón; Romero Esquinas, Álvaro (MDPI, 2018)
      The production of waste has increased over the years and, lacking a recycle or recovery solution, it is forwarded to landfill. The incorporation of wastes in cement-based materials is a solution to reduce waste deposition. ...
    • Zn-Al layered double hydroxides as efficient photocatalysts for NOx abatement 

      Rodríguez-Rivas, F.; Pastor, Adrián; Barriga, C.; Cruz-Yusta, M.; Sánchez Granados, Luis (Elsevier, 2019)
      In this study,we report that layered double hydroxides (LDH) exhibited high photocatalytic activitiesin degrading NOx gases for the first time. ZnAl-CO3LDHs with a 1.5 to 3.0 Zn/Al ratio were prepared by ...
    • ZnO on rice husk: a sustainable photocatalyst for urban air purification 

      Pastor, Adrián; Balbuena, J.; Cruz-Yusta, M.; Pavlovic, I.; Sánchez Granados, Luis (Elsevier, 2019)
      A cost-effective and sustainable De-NOx photocatalyst is prepared usingzinc acetate and rice husk. ZnO@SiO2samples are obtained from the calcination of a homogenised precursor mixture at 600 C. ZnO ...
