Rapid urbanization and human disturbance of land often results in serious soil erosion and
releases of fine sediments and soil-bound toxic metals/metalloids. Yet, technologies for …

Rare earth elements are crucial for applications in aerospace, electronics, petrochemicals,
and metallurgical industries. However, as rare earth mining expands, their tailings …

Inner dumps formed by mining activities were prone to soil erosion. Slope improvement is an
effective means to control soil erosion and ecological restoration. However, little research …

Preferential flow in soils contributes to water and contaminant leaching to groundwater and
subsurface drains. At practical scales, preferential flow is often neglected due to the lack of …

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is becoming a widely used soil conditioning and erosion control
agent, and a better understanding of its transport is required to improve its use. In this study …

Pum** sediment-laden water from excavations is often necessary on construction sites.
This water is often treated by pum** it through geotextile dewatering bags. The bags are …

Nanotechnology is increasingly being used to remediate polluted soil and water. However,
few studies are available assessing the potential of nanoparticles to bind surface particles …

Due to stringent water quality regulations on stormwater discharges, there is increasing
interest in chemically-assisted settling of suspended sediments at construction sites. This …

Recent studies have shown that turbidity in construction site runoff can be greatly reduced
by chemical turbidity control. This study evaluated the performance of chitosan-based …

High sodium salt stress and low soil organic carbon (SOC) inhibit the saline-sodic soil
improvement and vegetation restoration in tidal flat reclamation areas in China. Applying …
