The nondegradable nature and toxicity of organic liquid electrolytes reveal the design deficiency of lithium batteries in environmental protection. Biopolymers can be extracted from biomass under mild conditions, thus they are usually low cost and renewable. The unique characteristics of biopolymers such as water solubility, film-forming capability and adhesive property are of importance for lithium battery. The studies on the biopolymer materials for lithium batteries have been reviewed in this work. Although a lot of work on the biopolymer-based battery materials has been reported, it is still a challenge in the design of lithium battery with zero pollution and zero waste.

ABSTRACTStabilized earth is a very ancient material that has been used in many countries as a low cost, environment friendly construction material. However, its durability under humid environments is low. Stabilization using cement, lime and natural fibres could enhance its durability and lowers the risk of cracking. This paper presents an experimental investigation into the performance of stabilised local soil by either, cement mixed with a proportion of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) /or straw naturel fibres. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS), shrinkage, wetting and drying, capillary absorption and thermal conductivity tests were performed on both untreated soil samples and stabilised soil samples. The results show that stabilising the soil with cement and GBFS increased both compressive strength, durability, thermal conductivity and decreased the capillary absorption and the shrinkage. The addition of natural wheat fibres increased the capillary absorption but leads to a decrease in the thermal conductivity and to a further reduction in the shrinkage and hence a better insulating less prone to cracking material.

AbstractThe inherent properties of bio-composites such as biodegradability, environment friendly, low cost of production, high strength and durability make them a suitable replacement to traditional materials such as glass and nylon. Bio-polymers are finding wide applications due to their intrinsic properties such as low density, low thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and ease of manufacturing complex shapes. This paper aims toward a comprehensive study on polymer bio-composites. The review mainly focuses on types of reinforcements such as natural fibers, seed shells, animal fibers, cellulose, bio-polymers, bio-chemicals and bioceramics which enhance the mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, Young’s modulus and creep behavior, of the composites. The pertinent study carried out in this review explores an enormous potentiality of the composites toward a wide variety of applications.

Chelating Resins

The concentration of different toxic metals has increased beyond environmentally and ecologically permissible levels due to the increase in industrial activity. More than 100 million people of Bangladesh and West Bengal in India are affected by drinking ground water contaminated with arsenic and some parts of India is also affected by poisoning effect of copper, cadmium and fluoride. Different methods have been evolved to reduce the arsenic concentration in drinking water to a maximum permissible level of 10 μg/L where as various methods are also available to separate copper from drinking water. Of the proven methods available today, removal of arsenic by polymeric ion exchangers has been most effective. While chelating ion exchange resins having specific chelating groups attached to a polymer have found extensive use in sorption and pre concentration of Cu2+ions. Both the methods are coupled here to separate and preconcentrate toxic metal cation Cu2+and metal anion arsenate(AsO4–) at the same time. We have prepared a series of low-cost polymeric resins, which are very efficient in removing copper ion from drinking water and after coordinating with copper ion they act as polymeric ligand exchanger, which are efficiently removing arsenate from drinking water. For this purpose Schiff bases were prepared by condensingo-phenylenediamine witho-,m-, andp-hydroxybenzaldehydes. Condensing these phenolic Schiff bases with formaldehyde afforded the chelating resins in high yields. These resins are loaded with Cu2+, Ni2+2+, and Fe3+ions. The resins and the polychelates are highly insoluble in water. In powdered form the metal ion-loaded resins are found to very efficiently remove arsenate ion from water at neutral pH. Resins loaded with optimum amount of Cu2+ion is more effective in removing arsenate ions compared to those with Fe3+ion, apparently because Cu2+is a stronger Lewis acid than Fe3+. Various parameters influencing the removal of the arsenate ion from drinking water to a concentration level below 20 μg/L are studied.

. In order to exploit a kind of low cost and environment-friendly humidity sensing materials, a series of Li-modified montmorillonite ion conductors were prepared using the montmorillonite form Jimusaer in Xinjiang Province of China. The montmorillonite humidity sensing elements were made by the thick film technique on mica substrates. Then the structures of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the humidity sensing characteristics of the elements were tested by an equipment of the resistance testing. The results indicate that the resistances of the montmorillonite humidity elements all decrease with the increase of the system humidity. But there is a great discrepancy between the resistances of Na- montmorillonite humidity element when humidity adsorption and desorption. It was found that Li-modification montmorillonite ion conductors behave well as a humidity sensing material in 30～90% RH (relative humidity). The suitable experimental parameters of montmorillonite Li-modifying under ~ 80°Care obtained.

A New Technique

Generally, it is difficult to control the trench stability and panel joint permeability in the construction of a diaphragm wall. The high construction cost is inevitable because of the environmental pollution due to the slurry, waste of water consumption, and debris disposal treatment. A new technique, called the dry trenching diaphragm wall with self-guided double-rectangular-casing, is thereafter developed in the current study to avoid these problems. In this technique, two pieces of rectangular steel casing are driven in sequence and guided each other. The trench is made by squeezing into the soft soil. The panel alignment and straightness are assured without any joints due to the dry concrete pouring instead of the influences of the slurry. Compared to the regular diaphragm wall, the technique is an environment-friendly, less emissive and energy-conserved one by eliminating the slurry pollution with the low cost. It shows that the quality of panel connection is reliable, and the permeation-proof performance is superior with high efficiency in wall-forming due to non-joint interlocking.
