A review of mining and industrial by-product use as environmental amendments

[摘要] Effective removal of nutrients and trace metals from industrial, agricultural and domestic wastewater is pivotal to efficient water re-use. Utilisation of abundant, low-cost mining and industrial by-products as treatment media potentially offers a cost-effective wastewater treatment option. Mineral-based by-products may be effective for the treatment of wastewater previously discarded or treated by less efficient or more costly means. The primary advantages to using by-products as environmental amendments are economic viability (low cost) and waste reduction.
