Incineration of municipal solid wastes (MSWs) produces by-products which can be broadly classified as bottom and fly ashes. Since MSW incineration started, possibilities other than landfilling the incineration residues have been sought; most initiatives in this sense tend to use these residues as aggregate substitute in pavements and other road con...

A comparative study of a number of methods for calculation and refinement of thermodynamic parameters from thermometric titrations has been performed.These methods were applied in order to determine the ionization enthalpies of different amines in aqueous and hydro-alcoholic media. The influence of the medium on the titration errors, and its precis...

... Furthermore, when leaching test results were compared with those obtained in studies of other waste in civil engineering (e.g. incineration waste or slag) [21], it was clear that the use of Silestone Ò waste produced no problems whatsoever. The values for contaminating agents were found to be significantly lower than the admissible limit values for the use of this type of material. ...

... In addition, the proper calibration of the electrodes is essential to detect some titration errors and to estimate some parameters, such as the standard potential of the working electrode and the pK s value of the solvent under the selected experimental conditions. For this purpose, the program POTENtit, a current version of the program VALGRAN [14], provides a good help using the Gran functions. When highly precise constant values are needed, the obtained potentiometric measures may be refined using the some programs, such as MINIPOT [15] and/or the more general MINIQUAD [16]. ...
... It has been demonstrated that IBA can be used for civil engineering applications. The IBA has been commonly utilized as sub-base aggregates for road construction [5][6][7][8]. IBA has also shown the feasibility of replacing conventional natural coarse aggregates for concrete production [9][10][11][12]. Besides these applications, researchers have reported the application of IBA as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) [13,14]. ...
