• Modelling Ephemeral Gully Erosion from Unpaved Urban Roads: Equifinality and Implications for Scenario Analysis 

  Gudino-Elizondo, Napoleon; Biggs, Trent W.; Bingner, Ronald L.; Yuan, Yongping; Langendoen, Eddy J.; Taniguchi, Kristine T.; Kretzschmar, Thomas; Taguas Ruiz, Encarnación; Liden, Douglas (MDPI, 2018)

  Modelling gully erosion in urban areas is challenging due to difficulties with equifinality and parameter identification, which complicates quantification of management impacts on runoff and sediment production. We ...

• 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. ...

• Recommendations for the Management of Construction and Demolition Waste in Treatment Plants 

  Barbudo Muñoz, M. Auxiliadora; Ayuso Muñoz, Jesús; Lozano, Angélica; Cabrera, Manuel; López Uceda, Antonio (MDPI, 2018)

  Construction and demolition waste consists approximately of one third waste generated in the European Union. The recycling of this stream waste will provide ecological and sustainable benefits. Recycled aggregates from ...

• Promotion of Circular Economy: Steelwork Dusts as Secondary Raw Material in Conventional Mortars 

  Lozano Lunar, Angélica; Barbudo Muñoz, M. Auxiliadora; Fernández, J.M.; Jiménez, José Ramón (MDPI, 2018)

  Among the actions proposed by the European Union for the implementation of Circular Economy is the use of waste as a secondary raw material (SRM). During the fusion of the scrap, a steel dust is generated, named Electric ...

• Optimization of the Transesterification of Waste Cooking Oil with Mg-Al Hydrotalcite Using Response Surface Methodology 

  Costarrosa Morales, Laureano; Leiva-Candia, David Eduardo; Cubero-Atienza, Antonio J.; Ruiz, Juan José; Dorado, M.P. (MDPI, 2018)

  Nowadays, biodiesel has become a very promising alternative to fossil diesel fuel, regarding environmental concerns and fuel resource depletion. Biodiesel is usually produced through homogeneous or heterogeneous ...
