  • - Accurate diagnosis of tubal abortions is essential for tailored treatment, typically involving ultrasound imaging, measuring b-hCG levels, and visual confirmation during surgery.

Two selected waste building sludges (WBS) were used in this study: (i) sludge from the production and processing of prestressed concrete pillars (B) and (ii) sludge from the production of technical stone (TS). The materials were used in their original and Fe-modified forms (B/TS) for the adsorption of NH and PO from contaminated waters. The experiments were performed on a model solution simulating real wastewater with a concentration of 1.
