Buffering of alkaline steel slag leachate across a natural wetland (2006)
Journal Article
Mayes, W. M., Younger, P. L., & Aumônier, J. (2006). Buffering of alkaline steel slag leachate across a natural wetland. Environmental Science and Technology, 40(4), 1237-1243. https://doi.org/10.1021/es051304u

Buffering of high-pH ( > 12) steel slag leachate is documented across a small, natural calcareous wetland. The alkaline leachate is supersaturated with respect to calcite upstream of the wetland (SI calcite values +2.3) and becomes less saturated wi...
