Hydraulic and biotic impacts on neutralisation of high-pH waters (2017)
Journal Article
Gomes, H. I., Rogerson, M., Burke, I. T., Stewart, D. I., & Mayes, W. M. (2017). Hydraulic and biotic impacts on neutralisation of high-pH waters. Science of the Total Environment, 601-602, 1271-1279. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.05.248

The management of alkaline (pH 11–12.5) leachate is an important issue associated with the conditioning, afteruse or disposal of steel slags. Passive in-gassing of atmospheric CO2 is a low cost option for reducing Ca(OH)2 alkalinity, as Ca(OH)2 is ne... Read More about Hydraulic and biotic impacts on neutralisation of high-pH waters.

Alkaline residues and the environment: a review of impacts, management practices and opportunities (2015)
Journal Article
Gomes, H. I., Mayes, W. M., Rogerson, M., Stewart, D. I., & Burke, I. T. (2016). Alkaline residues and the environment: a review of impacts, management practices and opportunities. Journal of Cleaner Production, 112, 3571-3582. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2015.09.111

Around two billion tonnes of alkaline residues are produced globally each year by industries such as steel production, alumina refining and coal-fired power generation, with a total production estimate of 90 billion tonnes since industrialisation. Th... Read More about Alkaline residues and the environment: a review of impacts, management practices and opportunities.

Electrodialytic remediation of polychlorinated biphenyls contaminated soil with iron nanoparticles and two different surfactants (2014)
Journal Article
Gomes, H. I., Dias-Ferreira, C., Ottosen, L. M., & Ribeiro, A. B. (2014). Electrodialytic remediation of polychlorinated biphenyls contaminated soil with iron nanoparticles and two different surfactants. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 433, 189-195. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcis.2014.07.022

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are persistent organic pollutants (POP) that strongly adsorb in soils and sediments. There is a need to develop new and cost-effective solutions for the remediation of PCB contaminated soils. The suspended electrodialy...
