As the main greenhouse gas, CO is considered as a threat in the context of global warming. Many available technologies to reduce CO emission was about CO separation from coal combustion and geological sequestration. However, how to deal with the cost-effective storage of CO has become a new challenge. Moreover, chromium pollution, the treatment of which requires huge energy consumption, has attracted people's widespread attention. This study is aimed to develop the sequestration of CO via chromium slag. A dynamic leaching experiment of chromium slag was designed to testify the ability of CO adsorption onto chromium slag and to release Cr(VI) for stabilization. The results showed that the accumulative amounts of Cr(VI) were ca. 2.6 mg/g released from the chromium slag after 24 h of leaching. In addition, ca. 89 mg/g CO was adsorbed by using pure CO in the experiment at 12 h. Calcite is the only carbonate species in the post-carbonated slag analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. The approach provides the feasibility of the utilization of chromium slag and sequestration of the carbon dioxide at the same time at ordinary temperatures and pressures.

The scarcity of conventional aggregates with tremendous growth in highway construction and the indiscriminate dumping of industrial waste materials in precious landfills has become a huge global concern. This study is aimed at utilizing wastes from various industries, including coalmine overburden (OB) dump, basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag, and fly ash to produce suitable and sustainable cement-treated subbase/base course layers (CBSB/CTB) for flexible pavement construction. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the composition of the blended material considering unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and Poisson's ratio.

Article Synopsis
- - Chromium is found in various industrial solid wastes, which, when subjected to high-temperature thermal treatment, can transform low-toxicity Cr(III) into highly-toxic and mobile Cr(VI), endangering human health and the environment.
- - The paper discusses the different forms of chromium in solid waste, the mechanisms of oxidation and reduction between Cr(III) and Cr(VI), and the factors that influence the formation of Cr(VI) at elevated temperatures.
- - Methods to mitigate the oxidation of Cr(III) into Cr(VI) during thermal treatment include controlling system basicity and temperature, as well as considering the interactions with alkali and alkaline earth metals.

Heavy metals, such as mercury, cadmium, and nickel, may contaminate human inhabited environments, with critical consequences for human health. This study examines the health impacts of heavy metal pollution from an iron slag pile in Hechi, China, by analyzing heavy metal contamination in water, sediment, soil, and crops. Here, the Nemerow pollution index (NI) indicated severe pollution at most sampling sites, the mean NI of groundwater, and surface water had reached 594.

Accurately ascertaining spatiotemporal distribution of pollution plume is critical for evaluating the effectiveness of remediation technologies and environmental risks associated with contaminated sites. This study concentrated on a typical Cr(VI) contaminated smelter being currently remediated using pump-and-treat (PAT) technology. Long-term on-site monitoring data revealed that two highly polluted regions with Cr(VI) concentrations of 162.
