Most worldwide policy frameworks, including the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals, highlight soil as a key non-renewable natural resource which should be rigorously …

Vitrification technology provides a solution for the issue of safe disposal of hazardous waste
containing harmful chemical composition and organic pollutants. This review discusses …

This paper presents a review of soil contamination resulting from e-waste recycling activities,
with a special focus on China, where many data have been collected for a decade. Soils in …

A rapid and efficient method is particularly necessary in the timely disposal of seriously
radioactive contaminated soil. In this paper, a series of simulated radioactive soil waste …

Vitrification of hazardous mine wastes and mine tailings from old mercury and Ag–Pb mines
in SE Spain, was studied using solar technology. Six samples were treated in a solar …

An in-field remediation method of tons of Pb and Zn-rich ceramic waste based on Joule
heating vitrification is presented. The progressive heating up to about 1850° C led to the …

A remediation method for asbestos containing materials based on vitrification by Joule
heating is presented. Crystal phase transformations of several asbestos minerals were …

The conventional sulphidation roasting process is usually accompanied by the emission of
SO2, leading to serious environmental pollution. This study focuses on the decrease or …

Water-quenched lead slags are classified as hazardous materials because they contain a
certain amount of heavy metals. In this study, coal-based direct reduction followed by …

Simulated radioactive soil waste has been immobilized rapidly by self-propagating high-
temperature synthesis (SHS) using CuO as the oxidant. CeO 2 was incorporated into the soil …
