Towards the development of sustainable hydro energy in Lithuania
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Development of renewable energy sources together with sustainable development covers a complicated range of issues which require complex assessment in the context of Lithuania’s energy independence. Hydropower is an integral ... -
Research of different noise barriers efficiency at different temperature
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)In this article was analyzed acoustic efficiency of two different construction noise barriers. Field measurements of noise tests were carried out before and behind a wooden barrier, which height was 2.9 meters and a wooden ... -
Investigation and modeling of manganese concentration in the gravel roadside
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Road transport is one of the biggest soil polluter. There are a lot of investigations of soil pollution near highways, but soil pollution near gravel roadsides needs more experimental research. In this experimental study ... -
The rural areas: sustainable development of residential buildings in relation to protected areas
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)This paper aims to considering whether protected areas (in particular Natura 2000 areas) are barrier the development of housing opportunities in rural areas. Research in this area, based on the available Polish-language ... -
Hemp fibre reinforced composites
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The conventional homogeneous materials can no longer effectively satisfy the growing demands on product capabilities and performance, due to the advancement in products design and materials engineering. Therefore, the fibre ... -
Researches of aggressive gas flow cleaning from wood ash particulate matter in the multi-channel cyclone
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The studies examined the gas flow aerodynamic parameters and treatment efficiency from the wood ash particulate matter, also an adhesion dependencies in multi-channel cyclone using aggressive gas flow – temperature up to ... -
Using ion-selective electrodes in environmental monitoring
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Environmental monitoring is an integral part of environmental protection. Control of hazardous substances wastewater occurs both in the laboratory and on-site sampling. The paper provides a method of injection analysis, ... -
Development of compressive strength of slag based cement mortars exposed to an aggressive sulphate environment
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Sulfuric acid corrosion can cause severe damage to concrete and cement composites. There are a variety of approaches to enhancing the sustainability of concrete and mortar one of which is to enhance the durability of ... -
Tensile strength of barrier material
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The most significant element of the municipal landfill construction is leak-proof assurance which reduces the negative influence of waste on the environment. Mineral liners and covers are correctly built-in cohesive soil ... -
Triple blending with superfine natural zeolite and condensed silica fume to improve performance of cement paste
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Superfine natural zeolite (SNZ) is obtained by grinding natural zeolite to microfine-size, whereas condensed silica fume (CSF) is byproduct of ferrosilicon industry.
