Since the second half of the twentieth century, many studies have indicated inhalation of
asbestos fibers as the main cause of deadly diseases including fibrosis and cancer …

This paper presented a new method of preparing porous glass-ceramics by high-
temperature pore-forming using coal fly ash and asbestos tailings as raw materials. The …

The reuse of solid waste by the cement industry promises a reduction in the amount of raw
materials used for the production of clinker (clay and limestone), which may result in lower …

Owing to its carcinogenic potential and the environmental impacts associated with its
disposal, the search for inertization technologies that enable the reuse of asbestos cement …

The directives of the European Commission Environment on the management of hazardous
asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are pointing towards treatment and recycling other …

This study aims to optimize the thermal treatment of asbestos cement waste (ACW) to make
it suitable for use as an alternative binder. The optimization was performed using a 2 k …

Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) are currently landfilled or encapsulated, but this may
lead to the release of fibres in the environment. Hence, the destruction of asbestos …

Nowadays, asbestos-containing wastes (ACW) still represent an important environmental
problem and a severe health hazard due to the well known pulmonary diseases derived …

A harmless cement conglomerate reinforced with glass fibers (GFC), simulating a cement-
asbestos composite (CAC), was dissolved into dark fermentation (DF) synthetic and real …

A cement asbestos compound (CAC) sample was detoxified by a treatment train based on a
dark fermentation (DF) process followed by a hydrothermal phase, which led to the complete …
