A reagent system for treating heavy metal-contaminated materials is provided and includes an oxidizer, a soluble phosphate, and an alkaline hydroxide source, such as a caustic soda or lime. A method of treating mine waste bearing one or more heavy metals is also provided and includes the step of admixing a reagent system with heavy metal-containing material to preferentially reduce the leachability of heavy metals and form precipitates and complexes of low metal solubility that remain stable within the host solid matrix for long durations in acidic and abrasive conditions.

Provided herein are an adsorbent and method of treating water using the adsorbent. The adsorbent includes thermally- and chemically-treated lignite coal. The method includes contacting wastewater with the treated lignite coal.

The present invention provides a system for thermal remediation and/or the processing of a feed materials like contaminated materials, waste polymeric materials, waste paper products, waste wood and biomass. The system comprises at least one thermal screw conveyor provided in a housing under pressure, a first plug screw conveyor in a housing in communication with an inlet of thermal screw conveyor housing and a second plug screw conveyor in a housing in communication with an outlet of thermal screw conveyor housing. The thermal housing is configured to heat the feed material to form one or more vaporized products and a solid residue, wherein one or more vaporized products are removed through the one or more vapor ports provided in the pressure housing, and the solid residue is discharged from an outlet of the second seal-housing.

Disclosed are a zeolite-like material, and a preparation method and use thereof. In the disclosure, cyclic molecules of the zeolite-like material form a closed cage-like cavity structure with each other. The zeolite-like material is synthesized using an inorganic solid waste as a raw material.

A process for co-depositing tailings streams and/or tailings products is provided comprising providing a tailings containment structure; and co-depositing at least two different tailings streams and/or tailings products into the tailings containment structure.

The present invention discloses a remediation simulator of deep petroleum contaminated soil and application. The remediation simulator comprises a contaminated layer box. A to-be-remedied soil sample is added to a remediation box of the contaminated layer box; uncontaminated soil is added to cylindrical tubes to provide the pressure for the contaminated soil below; feed tubes are used for feeding liquid for remedying the soil; an air compressor conveys air to the soil and pushes the liquid to diffuse. The remediation simulator of the present invention has a simple structure and simple operations, can really and effectively simulate the deep contaminated soil environment, and also evaluates and screens a method for remedying the deep petroleum contaminated soil.
