Prediction of physical separation of metals from soils contaminated with municipal solid waste ashes and metallurgical residues.

Environmental legislation is forcing industrialized countries to rehabilitate contaminated lands. Expensive solutions are available to treat soils contaminated by metals (e.g.

Study of factors involved in the gravimetric separation process to treat soil contaminated by municipal solid waste.

The current research investigated the effectiveness of a gravimetric process (shaking table) to treat soil contaminated by municipal solid waste. A detailed characterization of the inorganic pollutants was performed, followed by concentrating the metals within smaller volumes using the shaking table technology. The densimetric examination of the 1-2 mm and 0.

Effect of pCO on direct flue gas mineral carbonation at pilot scale.

Concerns about global warming phenomena induced the development of research about the control of anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions. The current work studies on the scaling up of aqueous mineral carbonation route to reduce the CO emissions at the chimney of industrial emitters. The reactivity of serpentinite in a stirred tank reactor was studied for several partial pressures of CO (pCO) (0.
