Sand has been considered to be something of an immeasurable quantity. There are many indications that this view is no longer valid and that the limiting of natural aggregates usage is doubly justified. Firstly, the extraction of natural aggregates is expensive and has a huge impact on the environment. The main issues in sand and gravel mining are the large areas that are affected, ground water level changes, illegal mining, unsuitability of desert and marine sand, and costs of transport. Secondly, metallurgical waste can be used as a substitute for natural aggregates. This is doubly beneficial—the waste is recycled and the use of natural aggregates is reduced. Waste is stored in landfills that take up large areas and there is also the possibility of ground and groundwater pollution by hazardous compounds. The research presented in this article focuses on the technological conditions of using metallurgical waste in its original form and as a component of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). The use of metallurgical sludge waste or crushed or round RCA to produce concrete deteriorates the consistency and does not significantly affect the air content and density of the concrete mix. RCA lowers the density of hardened concrete. Metallurgical sludge waste or RCA usage adversely affect the absorbability and permeability of concrete. Concrete containing metallurgical sludge waste is of higher compressive strength after 7 and 28 days, with up to 60% of waste as a sand replacement. RCA concrete achieved higher compressive strength also.

“…Surface soil Tl concentrations have been shown to depend not only on substrate lithology but also on the presence of anthropogenic Tl contamination, for example from cement plants (e.g. Jacobson et al, 2005;Pavlíčková, 2006;Vaněk et al, 2009;Kersten et al, 2014;Vaněk et al, 2016;Vaněk et al, 2018).

“…The utility and versatility of the system lie in the large isotope ratio differences and relatively high mass fractions (lg g -1 ) associated with low-temperature environments, in contrast with very low mass fractions and negligible isotope ratio differences in mantle-derived lavas (see review of Nielsen et al 2017. Applications include investigations of extraterrestrial materials (Nielsen et al 2006a, Andreasen et al 2009, 2012, Baker et al 2010b, Palk et al 2011; riverine and marine fluxes (Rehk€ amper et al 2002, 2006c, Owens et al 2017; anthropogenic mobilisation of Tl (Nriagu 1998, Xiao et al 2003, Peter and Viraraghavan 2005, Kersten et al 2014, Van ek et al 2018; ore exploration ; and use as a tracer of contributions to the source regions of igneous materials (Nielsen et al 2006b, 2014, Shu et al 2017, Blusztajn et al 2018.…”

Thallium stable isotope ratio and mass fraction measurements were performed on sixteen geological reference materials spanning three orders of magnitude in thallium mass fraction, including both whole rock and partially separated mineral powders. For stable isotope ratio measurements, a minimum of three independent digestions of each reference material was obtained. High‐precision trace element measurements (including Tl) were also performed for the majority of these RMs. The range of Tl mass fractions represented is 10 ng g−1 to 16 μg g−1, and Tl stable isotope ratios (reported for historical reasons as ε205Tl relative to NIST SRM 997) span the range −4 to +2. With the exception – attributed to between‐bottle heterogeneity – of G‐2, the majority of data are in good agreement with published or certified values, where available. The precision of mean of independent measurement results between independent dissolutions suggests that, for the majority of materials analysed, a minimum digested mass of 100 mg is recommended to mitigate the impact of small‐scale powder heterogeneity. Of the sixteen materials analysed, we therefore recommend for use as Tl reference materials the USGS materials BCR‐2, COQ‐1, GSP‐2 and STM‐1; CRPG materials AL‐I, AN‐G, FK‐N, ISH‐G, MDO‐G, Mica‐Fe, Mica‐Mg and UB‐N; NIST SRM 607 and OREAS14P.
