The results were represented by plotting the equivalent ionic fraction of an entering cation in the ion exchanger versus the equivalent ionic fraction of the entering cation remaining in solution. Studying these ion exchange isotherms for sodium-univalent (i.e. NH4–Na, Li–Na, K–Na, and Cs–Na) and sodium-divalent pairs (Mg–Na, Ca–Na, Sr–Na and Ba–Na) on 22 Na-birnessite made it possible to obtain a clear picture of the exchangeable sites available in birnessite. The isotherms also gave an estimation of the effect of cations likely to be present in aqueous environments on the uptake of the fission product radioisotopes of caesium and strontium onto soils.","PeriodicalId":336428,"journal":{"name":"Land Contamination & Reclamation","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125752877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It describes a series of hydraulic performance tests on blocks with different drainage slot geometries, in order to determine their influence on infiltration capacity. Paving samples were tested in a purpose-designed laboratory rig consisting of a variable-gradient testing frame, rain simulator and water-collecting chambers. The apparatus allowed for slope variations and two inputs of water: input runoff and direct rainfall over the surface. Four differently shaped slotted concrete blocks were tested under three different clogging states and four gradients. The results obtained lead to initial conclusions about the influence of block geometry on the hydraulic performance of paving which have implications for pavement design.","PeriodicalId":336428,"journal":{"name":"Land Contamination & Reclamation","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114997579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vickers","doi":"10.2462/09670513.673","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2462/09670513.673","url":null,"abstract":"Time is one of the principal factors affecting soil formation, as it controls the extent to which natural processes convert soil-forming materials (SFMs) into media suitable for sustaining vegetation growth. This becomes especially important for land restoration projects where SFMs have to be used in the absence of soil material. This paper examines short-term soil development in a clay SFM used as a landfill restoration cap by characterizing SFMs on an operational site that were restored at different points in time. SFMs that had been in situ for ten years since restoration retained less water at near-saturation and had a greater degree of aggregation. Organic matter (OM) and microbial biomass contents also tended to be greater in older-restored SFMs. Vegetation type appeared to control nitrogen (N) and respiration, and the sowing of legumes may be especially important where SFMs are used as soil substitutes. The results suggest that soil development in the SFM was indeed controlled by time, especially when compared with recent allied studies examining the use of soil amendments at the same site. The enhancement of the biological status proceeded at a faster rate than structure improvement. Within a ten-year period of restoration, a soil material capable of supporting acceptable vegetation growth appeared to have developed on the site. Nevertheless, land restoration targets should be set with the important soil-forming factor of time in mind.","PeriodicalId":336428,"journal":{"name":"Land Contamination & Reclamation","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121253923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
