Chloride (Cl-) has been related to increased phytoavailability of cadmium (Cd) in soil. A glasshouse experiment using a historically contaminated soil was undertaken to evaluate the effect of chloride on Cd uptake by salt-tolerant plants and possibly quantify the uptake of discrete Cd species (e.g. Cd2+, CdCl+, CdCl(0)2). Chloride treatments were applied as 100 mM NaCl and compared with equival...

In recent years, nanostructured materials have attracted much attention due to their large surface area and size dependent properties, which offer great advantages in various applications. Tungsten trioxide (WO3), a well-known transition metal oxide, has evoked wide interest owing to its distinctive physical and chemical properties that make it suitable for extensive applications in electrochro...

Steel slag and ground blast furnace show good wear resistance, which is suitable for improving the abrasion performance of pavement concrete. This work presents an investigation activation Na2SO4, Na2CO3 Na2SiO3 on GBFS-SS composite The results showed that both Na2SO4 can promote strength development cementitious system. shows limited improvement in paste. paste activated with combination hydra...

This article contributes to the development of a thermodynamic model for simulating CO2 solubility in pure water and aqueous brines under different conditions temperature, pressure ionic strength. The modeling activity-fugacity (?-?) approach allows calculating solubility, based on Pitzer electrolyte theory activity coefficient Peng-Robinson's equation state fugacity. present work proposes new ...

Sulfate attack is one of the non-negligible factors that induces deterioration in performance and life cycle soil stabilizers. In this paper, degradation mechanism durability slag–fly-ash-based geopolymer stabilized soft (hitherto referred to as SF-GSSS) under sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) magnesium (MgSO4) environment comparatively investigated, slag/fly ash ratios are set S10F0, S9F1, S8F2, S7F3. T...
