Specific pieces of evidence are looked for that allowed distinguishing some components in those waste products. A selection is carried out and some elements are included in a glass matrix. An unexpected result is presented here. It is possible to differentiate sterile and non-sterile medical gloves. The main difference is the relative amounts of calcium, in glass forming. Glasses are manufactured with a mono-ammonium phosphate since it is a natural product in Morocco. Several compositions are tried and studied. These compositions are expressed in usual two ternary and one quaternary systems built with the four equivalent components： SiO2, A1203, P205 and CaO and then compared to a patented composition.展开更多

A disturbing concern for the public and private sectors is to find proper disposal of Urban Solid Waste （USW） in large cities, since suitable dumping sites for this waste are increasingly scarce due to the spread and development of large urban centres. In general, recycling is currently one of the procedures most studied by researchers for disposal of such waste. In this context and aiming a new application for recycled CCW aggregates, the research characterized the physical properties of the material to use in fill compaction piles in soil improvement. The analysis shows results from laboratorial tests executed in CCW recycled samples, which came from works in different construction stages from Recife-PE, and natural aggregate, adopted as a reference. Characterization tests were performed with samples CCW recycled CLue aggregates and samples of natural fine aggregate （stone powder）. The results of characterization tests showed similarities between the CCW samples tested and the reference samples, indicating that the civil construction wastes has potcntial use as material for consolidation piles in foundation works.展开更多
