Smelting activity by its very nature produces large amounts of metal-bearing waste, often
called metallurgical slag (s). In the past, industry used to dispose of these waste products at …

Due to the advancement of industrialization and the development of the metal smelting
industry, cadmium (Cd), as a highly toxic heavy metal element, is discharged into the natural …

Microbial induced carbonate precipitation has been widely used in the biomineralization of
heavy metals Cd 2+. However, the low Cd-tolerance of ureolytic bacteria limits the …

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic element and non-essential to human. Herein, the source and
fate of Cd were examined in a typical sediment profile from the North River, South China …

Heavy metal (loid) s (HMs) in soils of Southwest China naturally have a high background
and are superimposed with intensive anthropogenic activities, resulting in serious …

The development of high value-added products prepared by slag has been restricted by the
severe damage to refractories occurring during SiO 2–MgO-based slag melting. In the …

Abstract Historical Cu-Slags located at former industrial sites in Poland are exposed to
weathering that may trigger release of metallic contaminants to the surrounding soils …

Metallurgical slags are generated as a by-product of smelting during ironmaking,
steelmaking, and the production of ferroalloys and non-ferrous metals. The formation …

Metallurgical exploitation originates metal-rich by-products termed slags, which are often
disposed in the environment being a source of heavy metal pollution. Despite the …

Slag heaps are far from stable and evolve continuously from the time they are deposited. In
the studied site (Świętochłowice, Upper Silesian Industrial Region, Poland), the major …
