Unlike organic contaminants, metal (loid) s do not undergo microbial or chemical
degradation and persist for a long time after their introduction. Bioavailability of metal (loid) s …

The chemical stabilization, or immobilization, of trace elements (metals and metalloids; TE)
in contaminated soil has been studied for decades. A vast number of scientific publications …

Mining, manufacturing, industrialization and the use of synthetic products have resulted in
heavy metal contamination of all the segments of environment. Due to their non …

Landfill sealing technologies comprise low hydraulic conductivity engineered layers as part
of covers and bottom liners, for which clays and geosynthetic materials are conventionally …

P-arsanilic acid (AsA) is a emerging but less concerned contaminant used in animal feeding
operations, for it can be degraded to more toxic metabolites after being excreted by animals …

The use of As-rich water for irrigation in agricultural soils may result in As accumulation in
soil and crops, with the consequent risk of its entry into the food chain. The effectiveness of …

A one-year leaching experiment has been conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of
several amendments on metal immobilization in mine tailings from an old Pb/Zn mining area …

The immobilisation of heavy metals in contaminated soils is a promising alternative to
conventional remediation techniques. Very few studies have focused on the use of iron-rich …

Soil arsenic (As) pollution is still a major concern due to its high toxicity and carcinogenicity,
thus, the study of decontamination techniques, as the organic amendment applications …

When soils available for the construction of liners do not display the characteristics
necessary for a good performance, mixtures with other materials can be employed for …
