Increasing of population in the world caused overusing natural resources and land destruction. Salinization and sodification are two effects of land destruction. Leaching of soil soluble salts is the most appropriate method to emend and reclaim saline and sodic soils. In this study, Examination of different leaching methods of saline from sodic soils has been evaluated in Veis Area in Khoozesta...

Optimization of the acid leaching process for Mongolian apatite-based ore containing rare-earth elements (REEs) was studied. The ore contained approximately 10% of REEs as total rare earth oxides, and the major impurities were Ca (33% as CaO) and Fe (23% as Fe2O3). Fe bearing minerals could be removed by passing the sample through a wet high-intensity magnetic separator before leaching. After m...

Beneficial reuse of coal combustion byproducts, e.g., in highway construction, requires an evaluation of metal leaching potential. Metal leaching from high-carbon fly ash in soil mixes typical of highway embankment construction was evaluated using different soil-fly ash mixtures and three common leaching tests: the water leach test (WLT), the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), a...

A novel approach for Ta and Nb extraction consisting of the pre-treatment a coltan-bearing ore with an ammonium bifluoride sub-molten salt subsequent acid leaching has been studied. The effects from granulometry, (ABF) to mass ratio, temperature duration fluorination on degree were examined. ABF ratio process found have most pronounced impact efficiency. following optimal conditions determined:...

Fuel oil used in power plants contain metal impurities like Vanadium. After combustion, this metal remains in boiler fuel ash in the form of oxide. In this research, extraction of Vanadium oxide from fuel ash has been investigated. Two processes were used for this purpose. A pyro- hydrometallurgy and a hydrometallurgy process. In the pyro-hydrometallurgy process, using sodium carbonate, salt ro...

Abstract The issue of growing field crops in saline soils and increasing their resistance to salt remains a topical terms land reclamation. In soils, it is important increase the salinity on basis use advanced technologies, as well pay special attention soil study shows that planned area, lack leaching presence seasonal accumulation process, problem solved from scientific point view, its comple...

Sulphate leaching losses may reduce the long-term possibility of maintaining the S supply of crops in low input farming systems. Sulphate leaching and S balances were investigated in an organic dairy/crop rotation (barley [Hordeum vulgare] → grass-clover [Lolium perenne/Trifolium repens] → grass-clover → barley/pea [Pisum arvénse] → winter wheat [Tritucum aestivum] → fodder beet [Beta vulgaris]...

The effluent treatment plant sludge is one of the major sources of contamination with toxic metals. Since the sludge contains heavy metals, it must be pretreated to reduce the contamination. The heavy metals from the sludge can be reduced/ separated by washing it with a suitable leaching solution. In the present study, the efficiencies of three leaching solutions to remove the contaminants from...
