The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]: Toda, K.; Sato, H.; Weerakoon, N.; Otake, T.; Nishimura, S.; Sato, T. Key Factors Affecting Strength Development of Steel Slag-Dredged Soil Mixtures. Minerals 2018, 8, 174.
1. Change in Main Body Paragraphs
On page 2 of 16, lines 90–91, the sentence “Purified humic acid content was highest in soil D (2.04%) followed by C (1.23%), A (1.02%) and B (0.74%)” should be “Purified humic acid content was highest in soil D (0.30%) followed by B (0.20%), C (0.14%) and A (0.09%)”. Consequently, on page 11 of 16, lines 320–322, the sentence “This suggests that the content of humic acids in soils A, B, C and D (0.74–2.04%) is not sufficient to act as a pH buffer” should be “This suggests that the content of humic acids in soils A, B, C and D (0.09–0.30%) is not sufficient to act as a pH buffer”.
These changes have no material impact on the conclusions of our paper. We apologize to our readers.
2. Change in Table
Due to mislabeling, replace Table 2:
Table 2.
Mineral dissolution rates and surface areas of silica-bearing phases loaded in the geochemical modeling as reactants.
Table 2.
Mineral dissolution rates and surface areas of silica-bearing phases loaded in the geochemical modeling as reactants.
| Mineral Dissolution Rate (mol/cm2·s) | Surface Area (cm2/g) | Reference | Vol % | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Run 1 | Run 2 | ||||
| Quartz | 5.37 × 10−15 | 1110 | Brady and Walther (1990) [27] | 10 | 10 |
| Albite | 4.17 × 10−15 | 750 | Chou and Wollast (1985) [28] | 9 | 9 |
| Smectite | 1.97 × 10−16 | 53,000 | Sato et al. (2004) [29] | 7 | 7 |
| Kaolinite | 3.31 × 10−16 | 81,600 | Huertas (1999) [30] | 6 | 6 |
| Amorphous Silica | 9.40 × 10−9 | 4~5 | Niibori et al. (2000) [31] | 16 | 4 |
