Analysis of the content of germanium, tellurium and thallium in the grounded waste of electronic equipment
(Corresponding) Fornalczyk A., Willner J., Jablonska-Czapla M., Rachwal M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The article draws attention to the problem of the presence in waste electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE) of selected metals from the group of critical metals (germanium), strategic metals (tellurium) and highly toxic elements (thallium). Due to low content of these metals in e-waste, they are...Read more
Reducing the environmental impact of construction wastes by their use in the preparation of construction mixtures
(Corresponding) Junak J., Sicakova A.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
At present, great emphasis is placed on protecting the environment. Civil engineering, mainly cement production, greatly pollutes the surrounding environment. Even the excavation of aggregate, which is one of the basic components of concrete, does not make any extra contribution to the...Read more

Evaluation of industrial wastes as active materials in permeable reactive barrier for acid mine drainage remediation
Sanchez D., Lopez-Bellido J., Acosta I., Rodriguez L., Villaseñor J., (Corresponding) Fernandez-Morales J.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The aim of this work was to evaluate the use of agricultural and industrial waste materials as reactive agents into Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRB) for Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) remediation. Laboratory-scale columns containing Volcanic Scoria (VS) as porous fill material and approximately 18% w/w...Read more
Heavy metal assessment in vineyard sludge. Copper lixiviation and recovery studies.
(Corresponding) YOHAI L., GARRIDO MOLINA C., RESINA GALLEGO M., LÓPEZ MESAS M., VALIENTE M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The use of copper-based compounds to prevent fungi diseases in vineyards have contributed to heavy metal accumulation in soil, vegetation and waste, causing a serious environmental and agro-industrial problem. One main issue is the waste generated both during and after wine production. This waste...Read more
