This study explored the effective application of waste cement for the adsorption of cadmium (Cd 2+) from an aqueous solution and the bioavailability and immobility of Cd 2+ in soil. Results showed that the maximum adsorption capacities of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) paste, fly ash cement (FAC) paste, and zeolite cement …

Cadmium is also present as an impurity in non-ferrous metals (zinc, lead, and copper), iron and steel, fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas, peat, and wood), cement, and phosphate fertilizers. In these products, the presence of cadmium generally does not affect performance; rather, it is regarded as an environmental concern (International

Around 1 am on December 22, 2008, a containment wall broke at a coal-fired power plant outside Kingston, TN, and 1.1 billion gallons of coal ash spilled over into an adjacent river and the surrounding land. That's the equivalent of 1,660 Olympic-sized swimming pools of toxic waste. The ash slurry was over six feet deep, covering around …
