Stabilization/solidification of Mn-contaminated clay slurry by using CaO-GGBS: effects of anions by Li, Wentao, Yi, Yaolin

“…Moreover, the anions contained in clay slurries may affect the S/S efficiency of CaO-GGBS in treating Mn-contaminated clay slurries, but this effect has hardly been investigated. Therefore, this study investigated the S/S efficiency of CaO-GGBS in treating MnSO4-bearing and Mn(NO3)2-bearing clay slurries. …”
