The use of waste-derived products has several advantages in this regard, mainly in terms of reducing process costs and conserving natural resources. In this study, the performance of the synthetic zeolite NaP1 derived from coal combustion fly ash (SZ) and the by-product generated from the processing of aluminum salt slags (BP) was evaluated with this aim in comparison to calcite (CC). For this purpose, mine soils polluted with Zn, Cd, and Pb were amended under controlled laboratory conditions with different doses (0%, 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10%) of SZ, BP, or CC, and their impact on trace element mobility and microbial functions was evaluated. Specifically, the mobile and mobilizable trace element pools, basal soil respiration, and different enzyme activities were analyzed. Both SZ and BP performed better than CC in the immobilization of trace elements, reaching, respectively, mobility decreases up to 89–94% and 66–87% when applied at a dose of 10%. These amendments reduced the mobile trace element pool by precipitating them as acid-soluble precipitates and/or retaining them in the reducible fraction of soils. The alkaline nature of these materials and the concomitant increase in soil pH caused by their application mainly accounted for this behavior. Additionally, soil microbial functionality improved after amendment, especially in the case of SZ, as shown by dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase activities, which significantly increased (p < 0.05) up to 536% and 48%, respectively. Therefore, applying SZ or BP as soil amendments can significantly decrease the mobile trace element contents of heavily polluted soils without negatively affecting soil quality, thus facilitating plant growth to revegetate and reclaim degraded spaces.The present work was carried out under the framework of the project “CLU-2019–05 – IRNASA/CSIC Unit of Excellence”, funded by the Junta de Castilla y León (Spain) and co-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) “Europe drives our growth”).
