In Burkina Faso, water resources in mining areas are polluted by cyanide, which is released into the environment through mining activities. To mitigate this pollution, two clays named Koro and Kaya were collected in B...
This experimental study assesses the effectiveness of traditional and nano-materials in enhancing the physical and mechanical properties of deteriorated sandstone from Ramesses III Temple, Karnak, Luxor, Egypt. Treatm...
The Sangarédi bauxite deposit in the Republic of Guinea contains several bauxite types depending on their litho-genetics. For rational and sustainable exploitation, determining the physical and mechanical properties ...
Nickel-based superalloys, well-established in aeronautics, have recently gained significant traction in additive manufacturing. Inconel 939 is one of the alloys increasingly playing a vital role in this field. This pa...
This study utilizes empirical equations to describe the propagation of vibrations induced by blasting, with the goal of predicting the attenuation of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) at the Yaramoko mine in Bagassi, Burki...
This research explores Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) for depositing diamond films on steel alloys (316L, 4140, and 1018) with a vanadium carbide interlayer to enhance adhesion and compatibility. T...
Aquamarine gemstones are popular jewelry in the gemstone trade and are currently one of the important products in the world market because of their economic value. Aquamarine is a Beryllium Aluminium Silicate with the...
Carbonation is a natural aging process that occurs in all types of concrete. One of its primary implications is the acceleration of steel corrosion caused by the phenomena of depassivation. The goal of this research i...
The Mbouda alluvial deposit is located at the foot of the Bamboutos mountains (West Cameroon) where three types of clayey materials are widespread. The populations collect these clays in their natural state in view of...
Faced with the proliferation of quarries extracting silty sand and river sand used in the building and public works sector in Togo, recognition of the granular properties of these materials remains a major challenge f...
