Incinerations residues from different types of materials (sewage sludge incineration ash and municipal waste ashes) can either be by-products used in industry, or pose a serious environmental problem related to their composition the presence potentially hazardous elements. State regulations standards indicate whether material is inert, non-hazardous hazardous. These standards, however, do not provide complete overview on leaching behavior elements environment. This study presents result...
Abstract Carbonate-rich soils are characterized by great diversity in content of carbonate and non-carbonate mineral substances soil substrate which largely influences properties. The study presents the analysis results four profiles located at area Pieniny National Park. aim this was to characterize classify developed from mixture carbonate-rich rock material, formerly classified as pararendzinas. It achieved determination morphological, physical, chemical properties, well mineralogical...
Abstract Soil aggregate water stability is very important from both scientific and practical points of view. This a critical factor in soil's susceptibility to erosion and, turn, land degradation. The most popular measure soil the resistance index (WRI), which commonly measured using wet‐sieving method. Using laser diffraction method order observe changes median particle size distribution determine was first proposed 2010. However, not suitable for weak aggregates. aim this study present...
Abstract Six soils located within the Polish Carpathians, developed on calcium carbonate–rich sedimentary parent materials and representing various reference groups, were investigated in order to detect lithic discontinuity. We propose using a multidirectional approach assess discontinuity these soils, one that includes grain size distribution, geochemical composition, heavy mineral content micromorphology, supported by traditional soil survey. A further aim of this process was identify...
Due to the increasing amount of produced and accumulated wastes, a potential source elements might be global waste stream coming from incineration process. As result this process, bottom ash, fly ash air pollution control residues are produced. The goal study was evaluate raw material anthropogenic materials which ashes municipal sewage sludge incineration, possibility for recovery metallic or other economically valuable by comparison their chemical composition with Earth (ultramafic, mafic...
In the bottom ash (BA) of municipal solid waste incineration, content iron and aluminum is relatively high. The efficiency eddy current extraction non-ferrous metals (including aluminium) routinely used in incineration plants limited. determination form occurrence aluminium or aluminium-rich components BA important terms its recovery utilisation. from a newly built plant Poland was analysed using chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with...
Abstract The primary objective of this study was to characterise the edaphic conditions forest areas in Pieniny National Park (PNP), and describe dependencies between properties soils types plant communities. “Soil Trophic Index” (SIGg) for mountainous applied. evaluation trophism 74 monitoring employed soil trophic index SIGg or SIGgo. Plant communities were classified according Braun-Blanquet’s phytosociological method. Soils PNP present mostly as eutrophic brown (72.9%), rendzinas...
The Nature Education Centre of the JagiellonianUniversity in Krakow has its collection a spectacular fossil ofa Jurassic crinoid, literature known as Seirocrinus subangularis(Miller). Only several museums Central Europe can boast sucha perfectly preserved and complete specimen Seirocrinus. Asseen against Polish museum collections slab questionis an outstanding object. That very form was cosmopolitanand pseudoplanktonic crinoid species spread throughoutAsia, Europe, Northern America, yet it...
