Barrott JJ, Dudeney AWL, Mason PJ, 2014, Spatial and temporal relationships between Eocene sand horizons and iron contamination in stream water in the Thames Basin west of London, UK, Geochemistry-Exploration Environment Analysis, Vol: 14, Pages: 33-44, ISSN: 1467-7873
Analyses of stream water samples associated with Tertiary (Eocene) sands of the Bracklesham Formation 30–60 km west of London showed numerous occurrences of groundwater containing elevated iron(II) concentrations (1–15 mg/l Fe), which oxidise to red-brown ferrihydrite in localised wetlands and streams and join onward flows towards the River Thames. GIS mapping of iron concentrations in relation to topographical and geological data within a 20×30 km project area indicated some 168 km of iron-contaminated water.The results are consistent with downward permeation of groundwater through contained Camberley, Windlesham and Bagshot sand horizons and predominant W-E groundwater flow of up to 35 km in the Bagshot horizon, which rests on impermeable London Clay. Glauconite, comprising up to 70% of the sand near the base of the Windlesham horizon, apparently provides the main source of soluble iron in the near-anoxic, near-neutral, conditions normally prevailing. Pyrite is also a possible source, especially where quarrying or other excavation releases water from previously isolated volumes, simultaneously causing elevated sulphate and acidity levels via relatively rapid sulphide oxidation. Mechanisms proposed are underpinned through comparison with reports on analogous systems in the UK and abroad.Streams and lakes in the vicinity of seepages are highly visible and of decreased biodiversity. However, because of their natural origin, they are not subject to the same public concern and environmental control as compositionally similar near-neutral water from many former coal mines elsewhere - where iron derives primarily from pyrite. Also, while comparatively persistent, they appear destined for rapid depletion in geological terms: the unusual isolation of the sands until the Quaternary indicates a short leaching period and suggests a reason why iron-rich water from natural ferruginous sands is seldom of sufficient significanc

Chan BKC, Dudeney AWL, 2007, Stabilised mineral–biomass mixtures in groundwork: pilot study, Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Waste and Resource Management, Vol: 160, Pages: 77-84, ISSN: 1747-6526
<jats:p> Based on fundamental characteristics previously determined, two types of pilot studies were carried out to inform possible future full-scale field application of stabilised mineral—biomass mixtures as components of brownfield restoration projects. To gain a preliminary confirmation of properties, four vertical cylinders containing mixed compacted material were used to represent cylindrical volumes within supposedly continuous mixed emplacements. A 100 t field emplacement based on an alkaline model was constructed within a clay lining. This was regulated by an Environment Agency waste management licence. During 18 months' monitoring, optical surveys detected no significant mechanical movement and the emplacement remained essentially dry despite periods of heavy rain and flooding. No landfill gas was detected in boreholes within the compact mass. Pore water recovered during final excavation contained low but significant levels of ammonia and heavy metals, thus justifying lining. The results should form the basis of development to a full-scale prototype emplacement (∼10 5 t, 1 ha) as a means of assessing this technology for reusing bulk surplus industrial products under regulation. </jats:p>
Tyrologou P, Dudeney AWL, Harrison JP, et al., 2007, Stabilised mineral–biomass mixtures in groundwork: fundamentals, Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Waste and Resource Management, Vol: 160, Pages: 71-76, ISSN: 1747-6526
<jats:p> This paper considers the fundamentals of mechanical structures and fluid flow characteristics in lime-stabilised mineral—biomass mixtures for potential novel applications in low-value bulk industrial products or wastes. As contained organic matter is expected to be essentially stable indefinitely under anaerobic conditions, the composites represent a form of solid carbon sequestration. Laboratory specimens containing designed combinations of coarse mineral (4 or 10 mm quartz) and fines (wet digested sewage sludge, pulverised-fuel ash and quicklime) were evaluated as possible precursors to composite emplacements in engineering groundwork. The volume proportion of coarse mineral to mixed fines was nominally 3:2, a value that allowed complete sludge infilling between coarse particles while ensuring particles remained in point contact to form a supporting matrix. The results showed that compositions of digested sewage (25% solids) and fuel ash in the approximate mass ratio 2:1, together with 3% quicklime, underwent pozzolanic strengthening to give an unconfined compressive strength of typically 250 ± 30 kPa after several months' ageing. This is similar in strength to stiff soil or soft rock and, in principle, indicates sufficient mechanical integrity for use as foundations beneath light building development or as a bulk fill underlying open amenities. Porosity (4–10%) and hydraulic conductivity (10<jats:sup>−5</jats:sup>–10<jats:sup>−7</jats:sup> m/s) were moderate to low. Interstitial water contained significant concentrations of ammonia and heavy metals, suggesting that effective isolation from the outside environment would be required in field applications. </jats:p>

This paper discusses the behaviour of iron-rich sludge, a problematic waste product of potable water treatment, minewater/groundwater management and hydrometallurgical processing. The work confirmed the highly hydrous and largely amorphous nature of the sludge and the significant differences that occur in reactivity (rate of acid leaching) and density (densification) depending variously upon the mode of sludge formation, pre-conditioning and storage. A structural study using a combination of FT-IR/ATR, XRD and TG/DTA correlated decreases in reactivity with ageing (i.e., with increases in particle size and/or degree of crystallinity) and increases in density with expulsion of weakly bonded water. The work underpinned studies on recycling of water treatment sludge with ion exchange resins and accelerated densification during sludge management.
