Carbon footprint calculations in the soil remediation sector: a comparative analysis KU Leuven
The CO2 Performance Ladder (CO2PL) is a CO2 management tool that helps companies in improving the environmental performance of projects and business operations. Since the summer of 2020, it can be applied to tenders for soil remediation projects commissioned by the Public Waste Agency (OVAM) of Flanders (Belgium). The CO2PL supports organizations in setting up a CO2 management system, calculating their carbon footprint and achieving CO2 ...
Importance of arsenic bioaccessibility in health risk assessment based on iron “Minette” rocks and related soils KU Leuven
Total element concentrations by themselves are not always good predictors of toxicity and are therefore not suitable for eco- and/or human toxicological risk determination. In addition, despite the growing call for harmonization, countries show significant variation in risk assessment tools, screening/background values, protocols and legal management of soils. By incorporating mobility and bioaccessibility/availability into soil risk ...
Review of the origin of breccias and their resource potential in the central Africa Copperbelt KU Leuven Ghent University
Solidification of Fe-Rich Slags and the Impact on Leaching. KU Leuven
In the beginning of this century, the non-ferrous metallurgical industry produced worldwide approximately 25 million tons annually1. Examples of non-ferrous metallurgical slags are from lead, nickel, zinc, cadmium, tin or copper metallurgy, in most cases being fayalitic slags2. Despite the interests to use these slags in various applications, environmental concern related to toxic metal leaching (due to the presence of metal(loid)s in the slag)3 ...
