The recovery of rare earth metals (REMs) from end-of-life products, such as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), is drawing great attention as an attractive strategy for promoting the sustainable development. The hydrometallurgical technique of solvent extraction has been reported to be...

This paper presents a methodology of evaluating management options for dredged sediments on the basis of an array of characterization tests and gives an example application for the sediments of Piraeus port. A conceptual model is proposed to guide selection among three management options. The model...

In this paper, we report the joint use of FTIR spectroscopy and two dimensional correlation analysis (2DCORR) applied to the identification of the aggregation pathways of natural organic matter (i.e. humic substance) extracted from marine sediments and in the second case of study, to the comparison...
