As cinzas de biomassa vegetal (CBV) têm sido intensamente estudadas para incorporação em solos em obras de terra. Este trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar química e geotecnicamente cinzas de pinheiros e oliveiras em comparação com um solo de Castelo Branco (Portugal), com a finalidade de aplicações geotécnica. Avaliações físicas, mineralógicas e químicas são necessárias para investigar a origem dos materiai...
Biomass ashes (BA) have been intensively studied as amendments for soil in earthworks. This paper aimed to geotechnically characterize BA from pines and olive trees compared to the soil from Castelo Branco, Portugal. Namely, granulometry, specific gravity, Atterberg limits and optimal compaction values were obtained and analyzed in order to valorize the residue incorporated into soils. This work is part of broa...
Background: Clay-based and geosynthetic liners are generally used as hydraulic barriers in solid waste disposal facilities, mining tailing ponds, and soil-based wastewater treatment technologies, avoiding the leaching of hazardous compounds into subsoil and groundwater. Water treatment sludge (WTS) is a water treatment plant (WTP) residue which due to hydraulic properties seems to decrease the permeability in W...
