Purpose Soil cracking is a common natural phenomenon. The existence of soil cracks has
significant effects on the engineering properties of clayey soil, and can cause significant …

The mining industry has historically served as a critical reservoir of essential raw materials
driving global economic progress. Nevertheless, the consequential by-product known as …

Bauxite residue, an industrial alkaline solid waste, has a low organic carbon content which
hinders plant growth. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) drives many biogeochemical …

Alkalinity regulation and nutrient accumulation are critical factors in the construction of plant
and microbial communities and soil formation in bauxite residue, and are extremely …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) efficiently eliminate over 98% of microplastics (MPs)
from wastewater discharge, subsequently accumulating them in sludge. This sludge is …

Bauxite residue is the alkaline byproduct generated during alumina extraction and is
commonly landfilled in open-air deposits. The growth in global alumina production have …

Bauxite residue is a highly alkaline solid waste with poor physical structure which ultimately
limits plant growth. Ecological reconstruction is an effective strategy to improve its …

Around 3 billion tonnes of bauxite residue (BR), the by-product of alumina extraction, have
been produced and stockpiled worldwide, representing a potential risk for the environment …
