Xu, Xiaoxiao; Cui, Hongzhi; Memon, Shazim Ali; Yang, Haibin; Tang, Waiching (Energy and Buildings, 2017-12-01)

Abstract The inorganic salt hydrate PCM, CaCl2·6H2O, has a promising potential for thermal energy storage. However, this salt hydrate has tremendous issues of supercooling (the supercooling degree was 25.5°C as found in ...
Manufacturing of sintered lightweight aggregate using high-carbon fly ash and its effect on the mechanical properties and microstructure of concrete

Yiu Lo, Tommy; Cui, Hongzhi; Memon, Shazim Ali; Noguchi, Takafumi (Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016-01-20)

Fly ash is the largest source of industrial solid waste in China. Fly ash with its high content of unburned carbon has to be discarded in landfills and cause environmental problem. To reduce the environmental impacts, ...
