Around two billion tonnes of alkaline residues are produced globally each year by industries
such as steel production, alumina refining and coal-fired power generation, with a total …

Reactions of the light actinide ions (Th to Cm) at the mineral− aqueous solution interface
have attracted much attention during recent years. Initially research was mainly driven by the …

Red mud (bauxite residue) is the main waste product of the alkaline extraction of alumina
from bauxite with high amounts of metals. In this study, bioleaching of heavy metals from red …

Magnetic nano-based particles of diethylenetriamine-functionalized chitosan have been
synthesized before being characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD …

Mining and mineral processing industries have generated a large amount of polymineral
wastes, causing the destruction and degradation of huge areas of landscapes at extensive …

Phosphate removal to a hydrothermally modified fumed silica and pulverized oyster shell
material for use in wastewater treatments were made. Sorption data modeling (pH's 3–11, P …

A new solid-phase extraction adsorbent was prepared by employing a two-step “grafting
from” approach to anchor a multidentate N-donor ligand, 5-azacytosine onto hydrothermal …

The exchange rate of inorganic phosphorus (P) between the soil solution and solid phase,
also known as soil solution P turnover, is essential for describing the kinetics of bioavailable …

In this study, we prepared a hydrothermal carbon-based supramolecular organic framework
(HTC-MA-TMA) by grafting melamine and trimesic acid on hydrothermal carbon (HTC) for …

Bauxite refinery residues (BRR) remain the single largest environmental problem for the
alumina industry, because of the fine-grained nature (> 90% at< 10 μm), high pH (> 13), high …
