The influence of recycling on aluminium alloys and subsequent influence on the microstructure and corrosion performances have been investigated. The investigation was commenced by taking two block cast, recycled aluminium alloys (AA5050 and AA6011) and rolling them into 1mm gaug…
The six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries face the most severe water shortages in the world today yet exhibit the highest global water consumption (500 litres per capita per day) combined with minimal efforts or measures to manage or conserve water use. While the literatu…
Waste and its management is a dynamic subject that has far reaching implications. These extend beyond basic practical issues of producer responsibility and consumer behaviour, and encompass pollution and environmental problems in a global context. Economic concerns, such as scar…
This project was a case study with a Local Authority (Charnwood Borough Council, Leicestershire) to research the options in response to the challenges of managing household waste. This research focused on establishing and analysing methods of improving the sustainability of hous…
This thesis is concerned with developing porous materials from tyre shred residue and polyurethane binder for acoustic absorption and thermal insulation applications. The resultant materials contains a high proportion of open, interconnected cells that are able to absorb inciden…
De nos jours et depuis longtemps, le rôle central des échanges économiques dans les relations internationales est sans conteste. Certains agents actifs de la mondialisation évoluent dans ce qui est communément appelé l'économie informelle. Cette zone grise de l'économie mondiale…
Hydroformylation of olefins is a versatile method and well-established industrial process for the production of aldehydes using transition metal complexes as homogeneous catalysts. Currently, worldwide production of aldehydes exceeded seven million tons/year. Rhodium (I) complex…
The quest for sustainable development has always involved the complex task of reconciling the need for socio-economic development with public health and environmental protection. This challenge has often emerged in the trade and environment debate but has most recently been evid…
Polimerler, iyi mekanik özellikler, düşük yoğunluklu, oldukça düşük maliyetli ve aynı zamanda işlem kolaylığı gibi değerli özelliklerinden dolayı çeşitli alanlarda en yaygın kullanılan malzemelerdir. 1970 yılından bu yana plastik kullanım beş kat artmıştır. Günlük yaşamı oldukça…
Recycling behavior is influenced by many factors, but not limited to, awareness and knowledge, attitudes, and convenience. This study examines some of the factors that influence female households in Saudi Arabia to recycle using a mixed-methods research approach. This was done b…
The majority of plastic exists in a linear economy, wherein a product is developed with raw materials, used, and then discarded. Because there are many applications for plastic in today’s society unparalleled by alternative materials, removing all or most plastic use from daily …
Recent history has seen some significant changes in terms of how society thinks about and deals with its wastes. Increasingly troubling indications of the immediacy of ecological concerns, now often described by the Anthropocene concept, have been provocative of a reinvigorated …
Insofar as architecture can be considered a medium at all, it is a medium first and foremost of preformed material objects, objects with histories of their own. This thesis seeks to develop an alternative environmental aesthetics for architecture in working through the scalar pr…
The financial and environmental costs associated with the manufacture and consumption of products may be reduced through design for efficient production, service life extension and post-consumer value recovery. In response to today’s need to design with consideration for the who…
