Portuguese term

lamas e lodos

Portuguese to English Other Mining & Minerals / Gems extraction residual matter
In a document describing the region of Sintra, Portugal. This particular section relates to Land Use - I give several paragraphs to provide full context:

Os sistemas geológicos existentes possibilitam a existência no concelho de uma importante actividade industrial de extracção de rochas e solo.
No plano regional de ordenamento do território da área metropolitana de Lisboa são identificadas três unidades de terra, ou melhor, zonas que pela sua dimensão e importância, constituem recursos naturais limitados e não renováveis que deverão ser protegidos: são eles a zona da Serra de Sintra, a região vinícola de Colares e as zonas hortícolas das Azenhas do Mar, Pêro Pinheiro e Ericeira.
São, no entanto visíveis, algumas formas de degradação dos solos, sobretudo no corredor urbano na vertente norte da Serra de Sintra, nas áreas envolventes a algumas pedreiras nas freguesias de Pêro Pinheiro, Terrugem, Montelavar e Almargem do Bispo e junto aos campos de Lapiás de Negrais e da Granja dos Serrões.
Neste contexto o funcionamento ilegal de pedreiras sem licenciamento, a degradação provocada pela extracção de inertes (como geração de poeiras, emissão de ruído e produção de resíduos com lamas e lodos), a descarga de efluentes líquidos e a existência de lixeiras e sucateiros revestem-se de gravidade significativa.

sludge and slurry? sediment? I have found various suggestions, but as with my previous question need confirmation of the technical term. Thank you.

Peter Canden Jan 6, 2012:
This is defienitely mud and sludge, sediment is "sedimentos", sludge (lodo) in this context is partially de-watered and altered material such as the semi-solid waste from organic waste treatment and/or mining as examples. Slurry could be used but that tends to imply a higher liquid content.

You're welcome I guess that airmailrpl solved the problem very well.
Lucy Phillips (asker) Jan 5, 2012:
thanks sflor - I'm a bit out of my normal area here, so I'm trying to get as much feedback as possible to put me on track!

Lucy What about sediments or sedimentation?
In geology, sedimentation is the deposition of particles carried by a fluid flow.
Sludge and slurry pertain to that deposition of particles, know as sediments.
