origins and movements of air masses, as well as deposition processes and residence time …

Open cast mining has a strong impact on the environment, the intensity depending on the
morphology of the deposit and on the nature of the minerals. At Touro mine (NW Spain) …

In this study, we investigated the ability of Fe-and Al-based water treatment residues (Fe-and
Al-WTR) to accumulate Pb (II) and Cu (II) at pH 4.5. The role of the inorganic and organic …

Bentonite clays have been showing good adsorbing characteristics and are used as an
alternative material in the removal of heavy metals. The purpose of this study is to evaluate …

The use of rare earth elements is a growing trend in diverse industrial activities, leading to
the need for eco-friendly approaches to their efficient recovery and reuse. The aim of this …

Relatively new techniques can help in determining the occurrence of mineral species and
the distribution of contaminants on soil surfaces such as natural minerals and organic …

Exploring the relationships between heavy metal release and salinity can help address the
problems of combination of toxic heavy metals and salinization in contaminated soils …
