In this paper, we investigate the release of heavy metals from sludge produced from an electrical industry using both organic and inorganic acids. Single and sequential extractions were conducted to assess heavy metals in different phases of the sludge. Metal release from sludge was investigated in the presence of three inorganic acids (nitric, sul...

The overburden dumps which are created during the process of mining are devoid of supportive and nutritive capacity for biomass development. Restoration of these overburden dumps requires the establishment of a self-sustaining soil–plant system, for which a restoration strategy is needed to accelerate the natural processes of ecosystem development....

Heavy metals such as lead, zinc, and copper always coexist in industrial wastes and tend to be released if the wastes are not treated properly. With abundant contents of aluminum, iron and silicon, sewage sludge incineration ash can provide a ceramic matrix for potential heavy metal stabilization. By using ceramic sintering, this study explored the...

The world paper industry produces a great amount of industrial solid waste that undergoes a treatment process that can be either primary, secondary, or tertiary, in order to adapt the waste for correct disposal. The paper manufacturing industries search for the best way to dispose of their wastes, generally in landfills, but there are few studies p...

This study is based on the analysis of a set of industrial sectors (coal processing, wood processing, transport, oil, and water treatment) in order to identify the amount and type of combustible waste suitable for incineration. The main ignition and combustion parameters of these wastes have been experimentally obtained from their direct individual...

This study was carried out to determine the concentrations of heavy metals in the soil samples collected from an abandoned lead acid battery (LAB) industrial waste dumpsite in Ibadan, southwestern Nigeria. This was to assess the potential risks of the heavy metals on human due to exposure among local residents (children and adults) of the area. For...

The aim of this study was to select bacterial strains with biochemical capability to tolerate high concentration of chromium (Cr) in soils. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) were isolated from the root nodules of Phaseolus lunatus and grown in Cr-contaminated soil with the application of composted tannery sludge. Soils were collected from the ...

This paper describes a method for identifying places for safe disposal of hazardous waste materials in the Egyptian Suez Canal Corridor. Hazardous waste is defined as a material that poses a threat to public health and the environment because of its ignitability, reactivity, corrosively, or toxicity. Industrial zones of the Suez Canal corridor prod...
