“…The reasons for this pattern of yield structure can be seen in the sorption properties of MS. Clayey materials, to which MS belongs, have a relatively high capacity to sorb organic and inorganic compounds (Koutsopoulou et al 2010, Jabłońska 2012. The application of MS or MS+BD may result in an improvement in the soil structure and reduce the leaching of minerals from the soil.…”

“…Therefore, mining waste must be thoroughly tested before its addition to the soil. Clay rocks including mudstones possess a relatively high capacity for sorption of organic and inorganic compounds (Koutsopoulou et al 2010, Jabłońska 2012. Their application to podzolic soil changes its structure as well as the distribution, size and density of pores; it changes soil aeration, water retention capacity, and increases the net soil surface area and nutrient retention.…”

Non-standard materials used for plant fertilization, require characterization to reduce any possible undesired effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fertilization with biogas digestate (BD) and mining waste (carboniferous mudstones (MS) from coal mine) on wheat yield quality and the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in wheat grains in relation to conventional fertilization (NPK) and no fertilization. Using the co-application of waste (MS+BD), the highest yield was obtained in the first and second year, but in the third year, a slight decrease in yield was observed compared to NPK. In all years, BD and MS+BD fertilization increased the content of protein, wet gluten, and phenols in wheat grain compared to NPK and no fertilization. Waste fertilization had a positive effect on the antioxidant capacity index of grain but only in the first year. The bioaccumulation index (BAI) demonstrated that NPK decreased BAI for Zn, B, Cd, and Mn, whereas MS+BD decreased BAI for Cu, Sr, Pb, Co, Ba, and Cr.

“…Thus NH 3 -N in leachate was removed greatly in the first 12 weeks (Koutsopoulou et al, 2010), and then it increased steeper since the external alkalinity addition was ceased. For LR2, NH 3 -N increased greatly from 35.0 to 174.0 mg/L (the peak value) in the first 16 weeks, and then decreased to 146.5 mg/L at the end of the operation.…”

“…The specific clay minerals and especially smectite are widely used as natural clay barriers in waste disposal sites (Sezer et al, 2003). This is due to the sorption capacity of clay minerals for different metals and the anion and cation adsorption behaviour under various chemical conditions (Czurda and Wagner, 1991, Venema et al, 1996, Churchman et al, 2006, Chalermyanont et al, 2009, Koutsopoulou et al, 2010.…”

Environmental assessment of contaminants in a downstream area of a landfill

Therefore, the evaluation of environmental risks associated with a landfill and the effect of landfill surface runoff was investigated. Soil samples were collected in the downstream area of the waste disposal site and their mineralogy was studied. An appraisal of the heavy metal contamination in the area was attempted. Top layers of sediments seem to interact with chemically modified surface runoff waters from the landfill. Heavy metals such as As and Pb were in significant concentrations in the sediments within a distance of 200 m from the site. Anions such as chloride, sulphate and phosphate adsorbed on clay minerals suggest the interaction of sediments with surface runoff from the waste disposal site. Inorganic parameters NH4 + and NO2 - in surface water samples are above or slightly below the guidelines recommended by EE and WHO. The results indicated that environmental monitoring of the landfill is considered essential.
