The Waelz Slag from Electric Arc Furnace Dust Processing: Characterization and Magnetic Separation Studies.

The Waelz slag generated during electric arc furnace dust processing is an iron-rich product with significant amounts of iron, zinc and copper. About 600-800 kg of the Waelz slag is generated per ton of the dust processed. The Waelz slag samples from two different plants were thoroughly characterized using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), chemical phase analysis, Mössbauer spectroscopy and other supporting methods.

Dataset on elemental composition of soils and plants under long-term application of mineral and organic fertilizers on gray forest soils in Vladimir region, Russia.

Long-term application of organic and mineral fertilizers can lead to changes in the elemental composition of agroecosystem components. Both the levels of nutrients and potentially toxic elements can change, as can the potential for these elements to be available to plants through changes in soil properties. Soil and plant samples of two species (pea L.

Dataset on the soil properties of Early Iron Age and Medieval archaeological sites in the forest-steppe zone of the East European Plain.

Paleosols are frequently used to recreate past climates. In the forest-steppe zone of the Russian Plain (Lipetsk region, Russia), Early Iron and Middle Ages defensive ramparts' buried soils were discovered. The parent material and similar topographic situations served as the foundation for the comparison of buried and surface soils.

A dataset of microstructure features and physicochemical properties of soils of the solonetzic complex in 2022 (Caspian lowland).

The fact of global climate change is generally recognized by the world scientific community. However, the spatial distribution of climatic parameters is very heterogeneous. In this regard, studies of the local response of individual territories to global climate change are of particular importance.

A dataset of soil microstructure features and physicochemical properties for 1968 and climate sequence for 1951-1992 in the Caspian lowland.

The soils of arid regions are sensitive to short-term climate changes, which are most quickly manifested in the saline state of alkaline and saline soils. Long-term climate changes are reflected in more stable soil characteristics, such as grain size distribution and microstructure. These properties can be used as indicators to assess the direction and degree of soil transformation under the influence of climate change in the longer term.

Spatial Interpolation of Gravimetric Soil Moisture Using EM38-mk Induction and Ensemble Machine Learning (Case Study from Dry Steppe Zone in Volgograd Region).

The implementation of the sustainable management of the interaction between agriculture and the environment requires an increasingly deep understanding and numerical description of the soil genesis and properties of soils. One of the areas of application of relevant knowledge is digital irrigated agriculture. During the development of such technologies, the traditional methods of soil research can be quite expensive and time consuming.

A dataset of soil microstructure features and the weather conditions affecting them from 2005 to 2021 in the Caspian Depression.

The soil cover of semi-desert territories is sensitive to modern climatic changes, responding to a change in the composition of soil complexes. Soil microstructure features reflect minor changes in microrelief or fluctuations in the level of groundwater. This property of soil microstructure to memorize soil formation conditions is used for subsequent characterization of changes in long-term climatic trends.
