A novel approach to paint sludge recycling: Reclaiming of paint sludge components as ceramic composites and their applications in reinforcement of metals and polymers

TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative to landfill disposal whereby paint sludge is converted into ceramic composites that can be used as reinforcing materials is described, and two additional composites, labeled I/N2/1000 and I/NH3/1000, respectively, are prepared by sintering I/600 at 1000 °C under N2 and NH3.

Methods for removal of contaminants from surfaces

TL;DR: A cleaning process and water-based cleaning compositions effective for the removal of radionuclides, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals from surfaces of all types, more especially porous surfaces, surfaces that contain irregularities and microscopic voids into which contaminants may migrate and lodge thereby creating a substrate below the surface that must also be cleaned, and particulate surfaces as discussed by the authors.

Effect of humic acid on the behaviour of solidified dredged material

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of humic acid on the mechanical behavior of solidified dredged material was investigated and it was found that the unconfined compressive strength (qu) and the change in bound-water content (Δmbw) exhibit similar relationships with the humic-acid content and curing time.

Evaluation of quicklime mixing for the remediation of petroleum contaminated soils

TL;DR: Significant decreases in concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon compounds were measured in soils and leachates upon quicklime mixing, which may be explained by a number of mechanisms such as volatilization, degradation and encapsulation of the hydro carbon compounds promoted by the quicklime Mixing.

Curing temperature dependency of the release of arsenic from cemented paste backfill made with Portland cement.

TL;DR: The results indicate that diffusion dominates as the leaching mechanism through the studied temperature range and is independent of curing temperature, however, curing temperature does control the availability for arsenic to leach.
