Mechanistic insights into temperature-driven retention and speciation changes of heavy metals (HMs) in ash residues from Co-combustion of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and red mud.

Red mud is a promising candidate for promoting the incineration of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and stabilizing the resulting incineration ash. The combustion conditions, notably temperature, significantly steers the migration and transformation of harmful metal components during combustion, and ultimately affect their retention and speciation in the ash residue. The study attempted to investigate the effect of co-combustion temperature on the enrichment and stability of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb within bottom ashes, and to reveal the underlined promotion mechanism of red mud addition.

Graphitic carbon nitride-doped sewage sludge as a novel material for photodegradation of Eriochrome Black T.

The bio-resource utilization of sewage sludge is presented by preparation of novel waste sludge-doped graphite carbon nitride (g-CN) photocatalyst. The sludge flocs which constitute bacteria and organic substances served as a pore-forming framework in the catalyst, while the inorganic fractions including those transition metals and crustal metals can function as dopants for sludge-based g-CN composite. The physicochemical properties of as-prepared catalyst were well analyzed by multiple characterizations.

Factors controlling the accumulation and ecological risk of trace metal(loid)s in river sediments in agricultural field.

There is an increasing concern of ecological risk from toxic trace metals in sediments to aquatic environment in agricultural field. However, the knowledge of factors that control the accumulation and risk of trace metals in such environment is limited. In this study, we conducted source apportionment of 9 trace metal(loid)s in river sediments on Chongming Islands, China, where there had been >120 years of agricultural practice.

Preparation of Sludge-Derived Activated Carbon by Fenton Activation and the Adsorption of Eriochrome Black T.

Sludge-derived activated carbon (SAC) was prepared by Fenton activation and calcination, and used as adsorbent to eliminate Eriochrome Black T (EBT) dye from aqueous media. The characterization results indicated that the produced SAC had a porous structure, high specific surface area, and abundant functional groups on its surface. The adsorption process was affected by pH, adsorbent dosage, time, and temperature.
