Strength and Compressibility Behaviours of Expansive Soil Treated with Coffee Husk Ash and Xanthan Gum
Abstract: The strength of the sub-grade, the caliber of the subbase and base course, the surrounding conditions, and the characteries of the soil utilized are some of the variables that might impact how long a road lasts. Because expansive soil swells and shrinks in response to variation in moisture content, roads constructed on it are especially vulnerable to early deterioration. Buildings with black cotton soils have experienced different settlement due to …

Sequestration of Cr(VI) by the Activated Carbon prepared from Coffee husk(CHAC)
Abstract: The potential of Coffee husks for the production of a low-cost activated carbon (CHAC) was investigated in this study. During the synthesis of the adsorbent, the concentration of the activating agent (H3PO4), impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature and holding time were optimized by Response Surface Method (RSM) using Box-Behnken design. Further, the application of coffee husk activated carbon for Cr (VI) adsorption from aqueous solution was investigated.
