Octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (OCDD)-added, pretreated fly ash was heated under vacuum at sample temperatures ranging from T(s)=450 to 650 K. The fly ash and liquid nitrogen-cooled trap samples were analyzed for DD/DF through OCDD/DF. The total amounts of DD through OCDD decrease with increasing T(s), which indicates that dechlorination/hydrogenation (DCH) reactions are not the only reaction channels. Reduction of toxic equivalent (TEQ) for PCDDs by more than 99% was achieved in the fly ash by the vacuum heat treatment at T(s)=650 K for 4 h. The total amount of PCDDs and DD detected in the liquid nitrogen-cooled trap relative to that of added OCDD was about 17%, i.e., PCDDs and DD which were adsorbed to the fly ash surfaces can evaporate into the gaseous phase. The difference between the evaporation behavior of PCDDs in the present and the previous studies is discussed in the light of their states of existence.

With the continuous clamor for a reduction in embodied carbon in cement, rapid solution to climate change, and reduction to resource depletion, studies into substitute binders become crucial. These cementitious binders can potentially lessen our reliance on cement as the only concrete binder while also improving concrete functional properties. Finer particles used in cement microstructure densify the pore structure of concrete and enhance its performance properties.

This study demonstrates the potential of secondary aluminum dross (SAD) to enhance the vitrifying hazardous waste incineration fly ash (FA) and bottom slag (BS). Based on the CaO-SiO-AlO ternary phase diagram, a liquid phase can be achieved at relatively low temperatures by carefully adjusting the AlO content, particularly when the CaO to SiO ratio is around 0.66.

The increasing incidence of structural failures, such as cracks and collapses, in rock masses within mines, tunnels, and other civil engineering environments has attracted considerable attention among scholars in recent years. Grouting serves as a principal solution to these issues. The Renlou Coal Mine in the Anhui Province is used as a case study to evaluate the effectiveness of nanosilica (NS) as an additive in ultrafine cement (UC), introducing a novel grouting material for practical applications.

The high chlorine content in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash is a key factor restricting its treatment and disposal. In this study, a new treatment method was proposed to enhance the deep dechlorination of fly ash by coupling supercritical CO (SC) treatment with water washing. Simultaneously the alkaline compounds in fly ash can fix CO and achieve CO credits.
