Processed sandy residue generated from mixed construction and demolition waste (mixed C&D-W) was investigated for possible deposition in landfill. The basic properties and the components removed in the loss on ignition (LOI) test were examined. The target material for decreasing LOI was elucidated and the validity of LOI used as landfill standard for inert industrial solid waste was discussed. LOI of most of the samples was above 5% and therefore, in principle, processed sandy residue should not be deposited in inert-type landfill. As LOI of sandy residue was mainly due to bound water, the LOI could not be decreased to below 5% even if wood, which is the major organic matter in the sandy residue, was removed. However, decreasing the amount of wood could lead to a subsequent decrease in the amount of dissolved organic matter. Therefore, the LOI of processed mixed C&D-W used as landfill standard for inert industrial solid waste should be re-evaluated.

Mechanisms of Cd immobilization in contaminated calcareous soils with different textural classes treated by acid- and base-modified biochars.

Acid or base modification of biochars has shown promise for enhancing the immobilization of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) such as cadmium (Cd) in contaminated soils. However, limited information is available on the interaction between soil textural classes and modified biochar application for Cd stabilization in contaminated calcareous soils. Therefore, the objective of the study was to examine the extent of Cd immobilization in contaminated calcareous soils with diverse textural classes, utilizing both acid (HNO) and alkali (NaOH) modified and unmodified biochars derived from sheep manure and rice husk residues.

Tremendous amount of sludge is generated annually from freshwater treatment or sewage. The high temperature slagging co-gasification converts the sludge to slag showing the potential application for construction material. In this study, the physico-chemical properties of 4 types of slags generated from the co-gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) with sludge from freshwater treatment or sewage, and ashes from sludge incineration are comprehensively analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- Groundwater aquifers are being depleted unsustainably due to factors like population growth and climate change, prompting the need for managed aquifer recharge (MAR) to replenish them.
- The use of agricultural managed aquifer recharge (Ag-MAR) raises concerns about the leaching of pesticides into groundwater, especially in areas with varying soil textures.
- This study reveals that sandy soils lead to faster water and pesticide transport, while also indicating that certain practices can mitigate leaching risks and enhance groundwater recharge.
The ongoing climate change calls for managing forest ecosystems in temperate regions toward more drought-resistant and climate-resilient stands. Yet ecological consequences of management options such as planting non-native tree species and mixing coniferous and deciduous tree species have been little studied, especially on soil animal communities, key in litter decomposition and pest control. Here, we investigated the taxonomic and trophic structure of soil macrofauna communities in five forest types including native European beech (), range-expanding Norway spruce () and non-native Douglas fir () as well as conifer-beech mixtures across loamy and sandy sites in northern Germany.

The application of organic substrates can affect soil respiration, dehydrogenase (DH-ase) activity, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and humic acid (HA) fractions. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of five organic substrates in the organic fractions of degraded alluvial soil, acid sulfate soil, and sandy soils and the physicochemical properties of the soil. Soil samples were amended at a rate of 5 tons ha with (1) water hyacinth compost, (2) sugarcane filter cake compost, (3) biogas sludge-rice straw compost, (4) vermicompost, and (5) sludge.
