Abstract

The evolution of modern civilization brings with it a series of challenges regarding the management of its waste. Proper disposal of construction and demolition waste (CDW) has become a challenge across the planet. Parallel to this challenge, there is another, that of recovering areas degraded by mining. The objective of the present work was to characterize through X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) samples of CDW collected during the period from October 2018 to October 2019 in a recycling plant and to determine its potential as an element in the production of soils in the recovery of areas degraded by mining. Calcite and quartz were found in the CDW samples, as well as trace elements such as Fe, Mg, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, essential elements for plant nutrition, capable of restoring the chemical and physical conditions of soils. The results obtained showed that Chromium (Cr) and Barium (Ba) elements were found above the limits of CONAMA Resolution 420/2009 (Brazil). A comparison was made with Orden AAA/661/2013 (Spain), which guides the disposal of CDW in mining areas as a form of final disposal and mine closure. The presence of heavy metals is considered normal in Brazilian soils, some being considered essential micronutrients. The results provide data to affirm that the CDWs can be used in soil production to recover areas degraded by mining, through the application of tests on a larger scale and with a soil-water-plant interface.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
