Abstract:
The article presents the technological potential research results of secondary resources formed in the King crab cutting process for food purposes. The authors analyzed waste (cephalothorax and abdomen) obtained from the King crab industrial processing from the North Okhotsk sea subzone and Primorye subzone. They determined the size and mass characteristics of waste. There is the shell, viscera (including liver), gills and abdominals ratio. A man examined the ratio of mineral (shell) and protein (interior and gills) parts of the studied waste experimentally. The research aim was to determine the total chemical composition, amino acid composition of proteins, fatty acid composition of lipids and mineral composition of the combined waste. The authors revealed that the secondary raw materials under the experiment consisted of the protein by 13.37 ± 0.05 %, lipids by 2.68 ± 0.1 %, minerals by 8.33 ± 0.25 % and carbohydrate compounds by 4.22 ± 0.05 %. The experiment determined the essential amino acids sum in the protein part. Valine, leucine and cysteine are limiting. Fatty acids in lipids waste are represented by polyunsaturated fatty acids in significant amounts (42.11 %). Calcium and sodium are overwhelming macronutrients in the waste from the King crab cutting, while iron and zinc are dominating microelements. The research results indicate the high technological value of waste from King crab cutting and the potential of this secondary raw material as a basis for the production of biologically valuable protein and mineral products.

Abstract:
Residues from King palm (Archontophoenix alexandrae) processing were used for the production of flours, which were then chemically characterized. The protein content in these flours ranged from 3.62 to 9.75 g/100g and was higher in sifted leaf flour (SLF). The dietary fiber contents varied from 64 to 72 g/100g. These values were high when compared to those of flours used in human nutrition. Analysis of anti-nutritional factors showed phytate contents to be below the levels that affected the bioavailability of minerals in human diet. Tannin contents were compatible with those found in legumes, between 0 and 2000 mg/100g. These flours showed high mineral content, which suggested a possibility for them to be used as food supplement. However, the bioavailability of these minerals could be affected by high total dietary fibre concentrations and anti-nutritional components contained in the samples.

Abstract:
The king oyster mushroom [Pleurotus eryngii (DC.:Fr.) Quél.] is gaining popularity across the world due to its excellent taste, high nutritional quality, medicinal value, and long shelf life. Conventional substrates for king oyster mushroom cultivation consist of sawdust derived from various tree species. Sawdust demand is increasing worldwide, creating a need for alternative materials that can at least partially replace sawdust as substrate for king oyster mushroom. In Taiwan, as in other countries that grow fruit trees, pruned fruit tree branches are an expensive agricultural waste, particularly if they are not recycled or reused. In the present study, we evaluated substrates containing sawdust and different proportions of material ground from pruned wax apple or Indian jujube branches for cultivation of king oyster mushroom. Our results suggested that among all five substrate mixes tested, the best substitute for conventional sawdust (100% sawdust) was a substrate that contained 75% sawdust mixed with 25% materials ground from trimmed wax apple branches (Wax apple 25%). Furthermore, determination of mineral element content, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) levels of the substrates both before spawn inoculation and after harvesting revealed no significant changes in mineral content, a slight reduction in pH value, and a minor increase in EC levels after cultivation. Taken together, results from this study suggest that agricultural wastes from pruned fruit tree branches can partially replace sawdust as the cultivation substrate for king oyster mushroom.

Abstract:
Mineralogical and geochemical data of glacial sediments of Low Head, King George Island, Antarctica, are presented to approach its provenance and alterations aspects. Mineralogical analyses were performed using petrography and an x-ray diffraction method, while to the geochemistry was performed by x-ray fluorescence. Comparisons using major elements in the sediments with possible source areas, suggested that they are closest to the King George Island parent rocks, with no contribution of rocks from Antarctic Peninsula. The gravel and sand fractions demonstrate that the till is composed of basaltic and andesitic rock fragments, plagioclase, pyroxene and amphibole, typical of active immature volcanic arc. The mud fraction indicates chemical characteristics consistent with calc-alkaline to tolleitic and metalluminous affinity of source rock of the till and the presence of secondary mineral phases, such as laumontite, brucite and saponite. The values of alteration indices, such as the chemical index of alteration (CIA) and the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, in the regional rocks and sediments reflect a remarkable degree of alteration, possibly due to hydrothermal activity, exemplified by the presence of laumontite. In addition, bivariate chemical diagrams suggest slight weathering compared to the South Shetland Islands, which may have been responsible for the formation of brucite and saponite. The results suggest that although there are secondary mineral products, some grade of weathering could have acted in the till during sedimentary cycles or the till was strongly influenced by components of local weathered basalts. Titulo:PROVENIÊNCIA E ALTERAÇÃO DE SEDIMENTOS GLACIAIS NA ILHA KING GEORGE, ANTÁRTICAResumoEste trabalho baseia-se em dados mineralógicos e geoquímicos de sedimentos glaciais de Low Head, Ilha King George, Antártica, tendo em vista analisar aspetos relacionados com a sua proveniência e alteração. Recorreu-se a métodos petrográficos e de difração de raios X para efetuar a análise mineralógica dos sedimentos. A geoquímica foi realizada por fluorescência de raios-x. A comparação das concentrações de elementos maiores nos sedimentos com possíveis áreas de fonte, sugerem que estes estão mais próximos das rochas-mãe da Ilha King George e não recebem contribuição das rochas da Península Antártica. A mineralogia das frações cascalho e areia mostraram que o tilito é composto de fragmentos rochosos basálticos e andesíticos, plagioclásio, piroxênio e anfibólio, típicos do arco vulcânico imaturo ativo. A fração fina revelou características químicas consistentes com uma rocha fonte de tilito cálcio-alcalina a toleítica e metaluminosa e a presença de fases minerais secundárias, como laumontita, brucita e saponita. Os valores dos índices de alteração, como o índice químico de alteração (CIA) e a razão SiO2/Al2O3, nas rochas e sedimentos regionais, refletem um notável grau de alteração, possivelmente devido à atividade hidrotermal, como sugere a presença da laumontita. Por outro lado, os diagramas químicos bivariados sugerem um leve intemperismo em comparação com as Ilhas Shetland do Sul, que podem ter sido responsáveis pela formação de brucita e saponita. Os resultados sugerem que, embora existam produtos minerais secundários, algum grau de intemperismo poderia ter atuado no tilito durante os ciclos sedimentares ou este foi fortemente influenciado por basaltos locais alterados.Palavras-chave: Proveniência de sedimentos.

Abstract:
The region of Warmia and Mazury is characterized by the special diversity and richness of its natural environment, including large forest complexes, where wild mushrooms are commonly collected and consumed. This study aimed to examine the differences in mineral content (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese) of three species of mushrooms collected in north-eastern Poland. The research material consisted of dried samples of king bolete (Boletus edulis), bay bolete (Boletus badius), and chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) collected in the region of Warmia and Mazury. The content of the above-mentioned elements in mushroom fruit bodies was determined using the flame atomic absorption spectrometry (acetylene-air flame) and the emission technique (acetylene-air flame) for sodium and potassium. For the majority of micro- and macroelements, the studies confirmed the presence of significant differences in their content, depending on the species of fungi. The studied mushrooms cover a significant percentage of daily demand for many of the minerals. This concerns mainly copper, zinc, and potassium, although none of the species was a good source of calcium and sodium. Among the analyzed mushrooms, chanterelle is the best source of most minerals.

Abstract:
The liberation distribution of ore samples is of considerable interest for process optimisation in the minerals industry. A scanning electron microscope-based automatic mineral analyser such as the LEO QEMSCAN system developed by CSIRO Minerals is a powerful tool for the estimation of linear or areal grade distributions of a population of ore particles based upon polished single particle sections. Stereological correction of a single section mineralogical grade distribution is recognised as an ill-posed inverse problem. The transformation kernel method with constrained entropy regularisation (King and Schneider, 1998) is adopted for the correction of stereological error in binary systems. An enhanced transformation kernel correction scheme is developed with an additional equality constraint for average grade as determined by section and volumetric sampling, in accordance with Delesse's fundamental stereological theorem. The usefulness of both correction methods is limited by the availability of kernels that appropriately model the relationship between volumetric and section grade distributions for the mineralogical sample of interest. The transformation kernel stereological correction methods are implemented in software available for use as part of the LEO QEMSCAN system. Both correction procedures are applied to areal section grade distributions of feed and concentrate from a mineral processing plant. The corrected grade distributions are in some instances found to be sensitive to the application of the average grade constraint. The statistical significance of differences in the corrected solutions is discussed.

Abstract:
A fossil hydrothermal system on Barton Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica, formed a series of lead-zinc- and pyrite + native sulphur-bearing epithermal quartz ± calcite veins, filling fault-related fractures in hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks of Eocene age. The lead-zinc veins occur within argillic hydrothermal alteration zones, whereas the pyrite + native sulphur veins are found within advanced argillic alteration zones. Fluid inclusion data indicate that the vein formation occurred at temperatures between about 125° and 370°C (sphalerite deposition formed at 123–211°C) from fluids with salinities of 0.5–4.6 wt.% eq. NaCl. Equilibrium thermodynamic interpretation of mineral assemblages indicates that the deposition of native sulphur in the upper and central portions of the hydrothermal system was a result of the mixing of condensates of ascending magmatic gases and meteoric water giving rise to fluids which had lower pH (<3.5) and higher fugacities of oxygen and sulphur than the lead-zinc-depositing fluids at depth. The δ34S values of sulphide minerals from the lead-zinc veins (δ34S = −4.6 to 0.7‰) are much higher than the values of pyrite and native sulphur from the pyrite + native sulphur veins (δ34S = −12.9 to −20.1‰). This indicates that the fluids depositing native sulphur had higher sulphate/H2S ratios under higher fo2 conditions. Sulphur isotope compositions indicate an igneous source of sulphur with a δ34SΣS value near 0‰, probably the Noel Hill Granodiorite. Measured and calculated δ18O and δD values of the epithermal fluids (δ18Owater = −6.0 to 2.7‰, δDwater = −87 to −75‰) indicate that local meteoric water played an important role for formation of lead-zinc and native sulphur-bearing quartz veins.

Leaf analysis was used to determine the seasonal changes of mineral elements of‘King’guava. Results showed that the microelement changed very little except for iron, which increased rapidly after September. The macronutrient concentrations remained rather stable during the period of July to September. Likewise the trend was the same for the months of January to March. By contrast, the calcium concentration dropped rapidly from April to August. It is concluded that July to September are the proper time to collect samples for leaf analysis according to the stable condition of the elements in the leaves. The range of variation of mineral elements of‘King’guava in summer and winter are as follows, and can be used as a guide for the diagnosis of mineral disorders in guava: N：1.86-2.11%；P：0.14-0.16%；K：1.18-1.31%；Ca：1.05-1.78%；Mg：0.33-0.34%；Fe：74-106ppm；Mn：63-69ppm；Zn：18-24ppm；Cu：15-29pp for the summer crop. Leaf mineral elements in winter crop (January to March)：N：1.23-1.60%；P：0.17-0.28%；K：1.23-1.60%；Ca：1.25-1.71%；Mg：0.16-0.22%；Fe：139-302ppm；Mn：86-104ppm；Zn：23-33ppm；Cu：18-48ppm. Change in the respiration rate and ethylene production of‘King’guava at different developmental stages was also investigated. The‘King’guava fruit with a 2cm diameter was found to have a relatively high respiration rate on the day of sampling, which dropped gradually, rose again after day 4, and at the same time the fruit showed sign of browning. The respiration rate of middle-sized fruit with a diameter of 5cm to 7cm was relatively low, and the ethylene production rate from‘King’guava was also maintained at very low and steady states. No ethylene production was detected as the developmental stage advanced still further. The‘King’guava with propylene treatment was found to have no capacity of autocatalytic ethylene synthesis. It is likely to be non-climacteric as evidenced by the fruit firmness, total soluble solids and change of peel color of the guava. Effects of low temperature storage on the fruit quality of summer and winter crops stored at 1、5、10℃ were investigated. Samples were taken every week. The fruit firmness decreased with increased time of storing, and was found to be less firm at 5℃. The total soluble solids were higher in the winter fruit than those of the summer fruit. The ascorbic acid was found increased in summer crop while fruits were stored at 1℃ and 5℃. Soluble titratable acidity had no obvious change. No significant change was observed in appearance after the low temperature storage of guava, but browning symptom was found after it was returned to 25℃ for 3 days, especially those stored at 10℃ for 4 weeks. Fruit decay and hypha growth on the skin appeared to be apparent after being stored for 5 week and then returned to room temperature for 3 days. Our results showed that 1℃ seems to be the most suitable temperature for guava storage. The vapor heat treatment was an effective means of controlling the oriental fruit fly in guava fruits. The treatment temperature was 46.5℃ for 15 or 35 minutes but over 40 minutes caused heat injury. Transportation at 1℃ for 7 days could keep the fruit quality. This finding may serve as a reference for transport and quarantine when exporting guava fruits.

Abstract:
abstract: The study of American national parks provides invaluable insights into American intellectual, cultural, and sociopolitical trends. As very popular tourist attractions, parks are also depicted in art, film, television, books, calendars, posters, and a multitude of other print and visual media. National parks therefore exist both physically and in the American imagination. Comparing Yosemite National Park, one of the oldest and most popular national parks, to Mineral King, California, a relatively unknown and far less-visited region in Sequoia National Park, unveils the deep complexity of the national park idea. From the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries, the visual and written representations of each area, including art, photographs, advertisements, and government publications, evolved and shifted, sometimes rapidly and paradoxically, depending upon the aims and needs of historic societies. The power of imagery and production of knowledge to influence visitation, management, and land designation is revealed through this comparative study. Park representation and interpretation in the cultural consciousness, moreover, uncovers how societies perceive and, thus, will ultimately use certain environments. A place cannot truly become a national space until it is viewed and valued as such in the American imagination. The creation of cultural material, especially visual works, is vital for forming and sustaining national park narratives. Popular parks like Yosemite need to have their legacies reinforced, and lesser-known units, such as Mineral King, deserve the chance to have a cultural legacy created—thereby helping to ensure that both remain for future generations.

Abstract:
Every day, somewhere in the world, decisions are made about how public lands that might contain undiscovered resources should be used or whether to invest in exploration for minerals. Less frequently, decisions are made concerning mineral resource adequacy, national policy, and regional development. Naturally, the people making the decisions would like to know the exact consequences of the decisions before the decisions are made. Unfortunately, it is not possible to inform these decision-makers, with any certainty, about amounts, discoverability, or economics of undiscovered mineral resources. The kind of assessment recommended in this book is founded in decision analysis in order to provide a normative framework for making decisions concerning mineral resources under conditions of uncertainty. Our goal is to make explicit the factors that can affect a mineral-related decision so that the decision-maker can clearly see the possible consequences of the decision. This means that we start with the question of what kinds of issues decision-makers are trying to resolve and what types and forms of information would aid in resolving these issues. This book has a different purpose than academic reports common to many assessments, and it is not designed to help select sites for exploration. The audience for products of assessments discussed here comprises governmental and industrial policy-makers, managers of exploration, planners of regional development, and similar decision-makers. Some of the tools and models presented here are useful for selection of exploration sites, but that is a side benefit. The focus of this book is on the practical integration of the fundamental kinds of information needed by the decision-maker. The integrated approach to assessment presented in this book focuses on three assessment parts and the models that support them. The first part uses models of tonnages and grades to estimate possible tonnages and grades of undiscovered deposits. The second part develops mineral resource maps that explore whether an area’s geology permits the existence of one or more types of mineral deposits. The product of this part of the assessment is identification of so-called permissive tracts of land.

Abstract:
The name rises as a phantom from the heart of the Congo. The dawn of the nuclear age began there, though no one knew it at the time. King Leopold II of Belgium claimed the Congo as his colony during the surge of European colonization in the 1870s, promising to run the country for the benefit of the native population. Instead, he turned it into a giant slave camp as he raped the country of its riches. Leopold didn’t care much about mineral wealth, preferring the easy riches of rubber, but aft er he died in 1909, the Belgium mining company Union Minière discovered ample resources of copper, bismuth, cobalt, tin, and zinc in southern Congo. The history-changing find, though, was high-grade uranium ore at Shinkolobwe in 1915. The real interest at the time was not in uranium—it had no particular use—but in radium, the element the Curies discovered and made famous. It was being used as a miracle treatment for cancer and was the most valuable substance on earth—30,000 times the price of gold. Radium is produced from the decay of uranium aft er several intermediates (see Figure 8.3 in Chapter 8), so it is inevitable that radium and uranium will be located together. The true value of the uranium would not be apparent until the advent of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb during World War II. Edgar Sangier, the director of Union Miniere, which owned the mine at Shinkolobwe, hated the Nazis and was afraid—correctly, as it turned out—that they would invade Belgium. In 1939, as Europe was sliding into war, Sangier learned that uranium could possibly be used to build a bomb. He secretly arranged to transfer 1,250 tons of the uranium ore out of the Congo to a warehouse in New York City. There it sat until 1942, when General Leslie Groves, the man whom President Roosevelt put in charge of the Manhattan Project, found out about it and arranged to purchase it.

The nonuniform global distributions of metals discussed in chapter 2 are also evident within most countries. Knowledge of the spatial distributions of mineral resources is invaluable in planning. In order to be able to consistently assess the undiscovered mineral resources of regions, as the second part of three-part assessments, areas should be delineated where geology permits the existence of deposits of one or more specified types. These areas, called permissive tracts, are based on geologic criteria derived from deposit models that are themselves based on studies of known deposits outside and perhaps within the study area. Thus, deposit models play the central role in identifying relevant information and in integrating the various kinds of information to delineate permissive tracts. Permissive boundaries are defined such that the probability of deposits of the type delineated occurring outside the boundary are negligible, that is, less than 1 in 100,000. Areas are excluded from these tracts only on the basis of geology, knowledge about unsuccessful exploration, or the presence of barren overburden exceeding some predetermined thickness. A geologic map is the primary local source of information for delineating tracts and identifying which are permissive for different deposit types. Map scales affect the quality and nature of information available for delineations and determine the extent to which geologic units are combined and how cover is represented. Probably the second most important kind of information is an inventory of known deposits and prospects in and near the region being assessed. Tracts may or may not contain known deposits. Because of incomplete deposit descriptions, it often is difficult to identify deposit types for many prospects, occurrences, and some deposits, but those that can be identified increase confidence in domains delineated for the deposit type. Typed prospects may indicate the possibility of some deposit types where the type had not been expected or place limits on the kinds and sizes of deposits that could occur elsewhere. The map of deposits and occurrences classified into deposit types then serves as a check on the accuracy of the delineation of tracts permissive for types rather than a determinant of the delineation.

Abstract:
What is a pebble? It is a wave-smoothed piece of rock, and a complex mineral framework, and a tiny part of a beach, and a capsule of history too. All these guises have their own stories, and these we shall come to. But from yet another viewpoint the pebble is a collection of atoms of different kinds—of many, many atoms—and that might be the best way to start. Considering it at this level, it is a little like taking the equivalent of a large sack of mixed sweets and separating them out into their different types. How big a sack, though? Or, to put it another way, how many atoms in our pebble? There is a simple formula for estimating the number of atoms in a piece of anything. The basic idea was first glimpsed by Amadeo Avogadro, Count of Quereta and Cerreto in Piedmont, now Italy: scholar, savant and teacher (though his teaching was briefly interrupted because of his revolutionary and republican leanings—a little impolitic when the king lives nearby). Avogadro was interested in how the particles (atoms, molecules) in matter are related to the volume and mass of that matter. Years later, his early studies were refined by other scientists and the upshot, a century or so later, came to be called Avogadro’s constant. Thus, in what is called the mole of any element there are a little over 600,000 million million million—or, to put it more briefly, 623—atoms. A mole here is not a small furry burrowing quadruped, or a minor skin blemish, but the atomic weight of any element expressed in grams. For oxygen a mole would therefore be 16 grams, as 16 is its atomic weight, an oxygen atom having a total of 16 protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The kitchen scales tell us that our pebble weighs some 50 grams. About half of it is made up of oxygen, and much of the rest is silicon (atomic weight 28) and aluminium (atomic weight 27) with a scattering of other elements, most somewhat heavier. A judiciously averaged atomic weight might therefore reasonably be something like 25.

Abstract:
A number of recent events inside and outside of the heritage sector have triggered a lively and largely constructive debate about the excavation, display, and conservation of human remains in the UK (see Jenkins 2008, 2010; Moshenska 2009; Sayer 2009, 2010a; Parker Pearson et al. 2011; Giesen 2013). Two events have been of particular significance: the reburial of human remains prompted by requests to museums from the Pagan community, and independently of these requests the Ministry of Justice decided to revisit its conditions for the excavation of human remains (Parker Pearson et al. 2013). In the short term, these issues seem to have been resolved through open consultation and campaigning by archaeologists. British archaeologists consider that they have public support; public-facing archaeology develops strong links within local communities, the Portable Antiquities Scheme engages members of the public in the discovery of metal objects on a national scale, and TV and Radio programmes regularly include archaeology or excavation as their central theme. There are various ways to engage with archaeology outside of a traditional museum environment: people can shift soil or sit back and read about it in numerous academic and popular books, in magazines, and digitally on the internet. This chapter discusses this new digital environment by describing and analysing three events in British burial archaeology which deliberately sought coverage online and within global media. These are: 1) the burial campaign which was instrumental in raising the profile of the reburial problem in England; 2) the discovery of a cow and woman buried in the same grave in a fifth- and sixth-century cemetery at Oakington, Cambridgeshire; 3) the investigation of King Richard III’s final resting place in the city of Leicester. One of us was instrumental in publicizing the first two events; neither of us was involved in the third. We will refer also to a recent case in East Anglia where negative media publicity came unsought by the archaeologists concerned. In the mid-twentieth century, archaeology found a place in mass broadcasting and early shows like Animal, Vegetable and Mineral or Chronicle captured the public imagination (Bailey 2010).

Abstract:
Minerva is a response to problems that beset higher education writ large. We focus in large part on the most significant problem, which centers on the value of higher education. We address this problem by teaching “practical knowledge,” which is knowledge the students can use to achieve their goals. Practical knowledge is rooted in critical thinking, creative thinking, effective communication and effective interaction. We also have considered in depth how to teach this material effectively; all of our pedagogy is informed by the science of learning, which has led us to develop new forms of active learning. In addition, we have developed a software platform that supports our unique pedagogical and curricular model. This platform provides tools that not only facilitate teaching but also--and more importantly--enhance student learning. Furthermore, we believe that the future is increasingly international and thus our students learn to use practical knowledge in a global context. To achieve this, no one nationality is a majority—so students learn from each other—and students live and study together in up to seven different cities around the world. Finally, the Minerva talent agency supports our students from the beginning of their tenure through their post-graduate career, helping them succeed for many years to come.

Abstract:
Abstract Seafloor Massive Sulfides have been expected to be future mineral resources. The grade of valuable metallic elements in ores of Seafloor Massive Sulfides is usually small percentage. If valuable minerals can be extracted from the ores on deep seafloor, the total mining cost can be reduced significantly. The authors proposed Seafloor Mineral Processing, where ores are to be ground into fine particles and separated into concentrates and tailings on seafloor. The Seafloor Mineral Processing system consists of processing units for unit operations such as grinding and separation. To investigate the applicability of flotation, which is a method to separate ore particles by using the difference in wettability of minerals, to the separation unit, measurements of contact angles of sulfide minerals at high pressures were carried out. The results suggested that the contact angles of the minerals would have relationships with pressure in depending on the kind of minerals and solutions. In addition, applying Laser-Induced breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), an optical method for elemental analysis, to measurement of metal grade of ore particles handled as slurry in the processing units was also investigated. Signals assigned to copper, zinc, and lead were successfully detected in the spectra obtained from ore particles in slurry flow.

Abstract:
Soil and groundwater as the leachate may contaminate surrounding watersheds, thus different pollutants from closed dumps and landfills pose significant risks to human health and ecology. Pollution may lead to soil and water degradation however it might be diminished through sustainable dump site closure projects and processual management. Several decades of clays and clay minerals studies lead to modified clay composites concept that is one of the potential promising solutions for building the landfill covering material and serve as capping biocover layer at the same time. As humic substances are constituents of soil organic matter, pollutants can be sorbed on the surfaces of complex molecules. This kind of humic acid-clay mineral composite materials thus might become as low cost building material component - covering material. Construction of such layer are to be performed as a combination of clay-humic composites and landfill mined fine fraction of waste with small amendment of natural soil. Several hypotheses that are already proven has to be mentioned: a) Clay minerals produce composites with humic substances; 2) Clay-humic complexes reduce through sorption both organic and inorganic pollutants; 3) Low risk of toxic byproducts from landfill mined waste fine fraction can be the problem; 4) Such composites mostly would trap toxic contaminants (e.g., pharmaceuticals) found in reworked fine fraction of waste. The aim of the work is to provide alternative solution for landfill closure by giving theoretical considerations from multidisciplinary knowledge of environmental engineering, chemistry and waste management.
