Experimental studies on vacuum preloading incorporated with electro-osmosis consolidation for dredger fill

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
The dewatering effect of dredger fill using the vacuum preloading incorporated with electro-osmosis in different ways is evaluated by implementing six laboratory tests.

ADAPTIVE PRE-EMPTIVE CONTROL OF VACUUM DEWATERING IN PAPER MANUFACTURING

open access: yesIFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2002
Abstract Paper manufacturing involves the sequential removal of water from pulp by means of gravity, vacuum dewatering, mechanical pressing and thermal drying. This research proposes a new control topology for moisture content using surrogate measurements to infer in-process moisture content, and the pressure settings in the vacuum dewatering section

Struvite Production From Wastewater: Effect of Magnesium‐to‐Ammonia Ratio and Stirring Velocity on Precipitation Efficiency and Settling Behavior

open access: yesCLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study demonstrates that stoichiometric Mg2+:PO43− excess (1.1:1) and slow 10‐min dosing are critical for maintaining low supersaturation, yielding large crystals (>0.84 mm) and rapid settling (5.5–10.1 cm/min). This strategy optimizes nutrient recovery (≥80%) and solid–liquid separation without flocculants, proving viable for complex industrial ...

When Density Matters: Hydraulic and Salinity Evolution in Groundwater‐Fed Pit Lakes in Semiarid and Arid Climates

open access: yesGroundwater, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 441-456, July/August 2026.
Pit lakes in semiarid and arid regions are often assumed to be terminal sinks for groundwater following mine closure. Using synthetic numerical modeling, we demonstrate that evaporation‐driven density gradients can reverse this behavior, transforming pit lakes into throughflow systems and potentially increasing salinity in adjacent aquifers.

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1213-1242, July 2026.
Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 2842-2861, June 2026.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 506-538, June 2026.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...
