Self-Sustaining Smoldering to Construct Tailings-Based Tech Soil

Abstract

The worsening global climate change appeal of a low-carbon technology in tailing landscapes rehabilitation for the sustainable goal. This study explores smoldering to construct soil-like substrate in an eco-engineering tailings manner. The obtained tecnhsoil exhibit low metals bio-toxicity, elevated physiochemical properties and improved nutrients statue, which is significant for the subsequent revegetation of the mine tailings landscapes. Due to the self-sustaining characteristic of smoldering and the carbon-neutral nature of biomass energy, the article presents here are exactly a contribution to achieve carbon neutrality.
