TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical (reaction) factors to explain the general basic causes of the deterioration of support capability for these types of soils are used, which can be combined with X-ray diffraction testing to provide a set of practical ways to monitor the possibilities of these failures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of physico-chemical experiments including Atterberg limits, permeability, consolidation, double hydrometer, ion exchange, and pH measurement were performed to investigate the fundamental mechanism of soil-alum interaction.

TL;DR: Because the presence of carbonates in the soil increases its buffering capacity, acidification is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the rate of heavy metal removed from the contaminant soil.

TL;DR: In this article, the application of the four current XRD methods for mineral quantification purposes is experimentally reviewed for clayey soils and the problems involved in clay mineral evaluation based on the direct use of peak intensity or areas under the peak are addressed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of physico-chemical experiments including Atterberg limits, precipitation testing, pH measurement and consolidation were performed to investigate the fundamental mechanism of soil-contaminant interaction from a rheological point of view.
