Massive and ambitious underground space development projects are being undertaken by
many countries around the world to decongest megacities, improve the urban landscapes …

Extensive mining, massive urban waste landfills, nuclear accidents and urban runoff
discharge huge volume of special wastewater streams to the water bodies. Appropriate …

In this work, an alternative alkali-activated cement (AAC) made of ladle slag precursor mixed
with sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate has been developed to enhance the bearing …

This study documents the environmental impacts of borate mines in Bigadiç district, which
are the largest colemanite and ulexite deposits in the world. Borate-bearing formations have …

The groundwater contamination problem comes out from the ability of water to dissolve the
aquifer materials, where any change in water acidity and alkalinity has an impact on this …

This paper summarizes different aspects of arsenic mineralogy and geochemistry in the
Wiśniówka acid mine drainage (AMD) area, south-central Poland. The basic source of this …

Here new data from field bioremediation experiments and geochemical modeling are
reported to illustrate the principal geochemical behavior of As in anaerobic groundwaters. In …

Landfills have the potential to mobilize arsenic via induction of reducing conditions in
groundwater and subsequent desorption from or dissolution of arsenic-bearing iron phases …

Monitored natural attenuation is widely applied as a remediation strategy at hydrocarbon
spill sites. Natural attenuation relies on biodegradation of hydrocarbons coupled with …

Pyrite (FeS 2) is the most common sulfide mineral in the Earth's crust, and it commonly
contains minor amounts of arsenic. Here we show that authigenic pyrite can remove arsenic …
