Raman spectra of xCaSiO3.LiBO2 (by weight ratio, x = 0, 0.25, 0.33, 0.50) crystals were measured. The microstructure of different silicon-oxygen tetrahedrons and their abundant variations with silica contents were studied. It shows that all the silicon-oxygen tetrahedrons are isolated by Si-Ob-B bondings or free SiO4(4-). No evidence suggests that there exist considerable Si-Ob-Si bondings. The abundance of Q2, Q4 species increases with the increasing silica content, there exists barely Q3 species even at high silica content. And the sum of integrated Raman peaks for all Qi species are linearly correlated with silica concentration in crystal, which offers the possibility to analysis silica in minerals, slags, glasses and soil samples directly.

This paper presents a novel low-carbon binder formulated from fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag, steel slag, and desulfurization gypsum as a quaternary solid waste-based material. It specifically examines the influence of FA content on the mechanical properties and hydration reactions of the quaternary solid waste-based binder. The mortar test results indicate that the optimal FA content is 10%, which yields a 28-day compressive strength 11.

In this research, a novel MgSiO fiber membrane (MSFM) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and doxorubicin (DOX) was prepared. Because of MgSiO's unique lamellar structure composed of a silicon-oxygen tetrahedron, magnesium ion (Mg) moves easily and can be further replaced with other cations. Therefore, because of the positively charged functional group of ICG, MSFM has a rather high drug loading for ICG.

Oxygen is the most abundant terrestrial element and is found in a variety of materials, but still wanting is a universal theory for the stability and structural organization it confers. Herein, a computational molecular orbital analysis elucidates the structure, stability, and cooperative bonding of α-quartz silica (SiO). Despite geminal oxygen-oxygen distances of 2.

CaSiO is highly resistant to sintering and can trap arsenic at high temperatures in the boiler furnace. However, the trapping capacity of CaSiO for arsenic does not meet the requirements of practical applications, and it is easy to react with acidic gases, which significantly affects the adsorptive property of arsenic. In this paper, the effect of Al modification on the AsO adsorption behaviour on the CaSiO(001) surface was systematically investigated using a density functional theory.

A large amount of remaining fly ash has been piled up or landfilled, which not only a waste of land resources but also results in a series of environmental problems. Therefore, using fly ash to produce high value-added products is a win-win development orientation between human beings and nature. In this study, zeolite A is successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method using fly ash.
