Abstract: Due to environmental concerns, government agencies globally have enforced stringent laws for disposal of industrial waste. This has an immense pressure on industries to dispose and recycle their waste in an ecologically safe manner. Similarly, in Oman, the disposal of spent catalyst and quarry dust is a major concern to oil refineries and stone quarries respectively. In the present project work experimental investigation is carried out to see the possibility of locally available spent catalyst and quarry dust in the development of Self Compacting Concrete thereby reducing impact on the environment. Four mixes, such as Mix-A, Mix-B, Mix-C, and Mix-D with Water to Powder ratio of 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.10 respectively, with constant Water to Cement ratio of 0.45 is used to determine the initial mix composition as per the European guidelines. Laboratory investigation was carried out in the Construction Material Testing Laboratory at Caledonian College of Engineering, Oman. Laboratory investigat

Abstract: A study of oil absorption by using waste tire granules was investigated and modeled. It was found that the kinetics of oil absorption of waste tire granule depended on oil type, tire granule size, and temperature. Gasoline was absorbed to reach equilibrium with the highest rate, followed by diesel, soybean oil (cooking oil) and motor oil. Gasoline absorbability of tire granule with the size of 10 mesh had the highest value of 1.2 times tire’s weight at 50oC. Considering the size of waste tire granule, the oil absorbability was greater when the size was smaller. In addition, tire granules were able to absorb more oil at higher temperature because both rubber and oil molecules had higher kinetic energy to move inside the rubber particle. Moreover, the diffusion coefficient could be estimated from the diffusion equation (long-time kinetic model) for a spherical particle by using the experimental swelling data. It was seen that the diffusion coefficient was increased when oil temperature w
