To efficiently reduce and reuse fly ash from incinerators, we suggest trying a new alkaline reagent to neutralize the acid compounds in discharged gas from incinerators and reuse fly ash as the raw material in the cement industry. Normally the washing process includes a pretreatment method to remove chlorides to comply with the strict standards for cement. We examined chloride behavior in washing experiments by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for two kinds of fly ash: (1) fly ash collected in a bag filter with the injection of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)) for acid gas removal (CaFA), and (2) fly ash collected in a bag filter with the injection of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) for acid gas removal (NaFA). We found that the insoluble chlorides in both CaFA and NaFA combined calcium chloride (CaCl), with some sodium chloride (NaCl) also possibly combined. Under some conditions, the combined CaCl and NaCl were released. In particular, when the liquid/solid ratio was greater than 3 or the washing frequency was doubled, less chlorine, insoluble chlorine, and CaCl were left in the residues of NaFA than in the residues of CaFA. As a result, it is desirable to use NaHCO as the alkaline reagent instead of Ca(OH) in the air pollution control system of incinerators for recycling fly ash as a raw material in the cement industry.

In the manufacturing of some sectors, such as marble and brick, certain byproducts, such as sludge, powder, and pieces containing valuable chemical compounds, emerge. Some concrete plants utilize these byproducts as mineralogical additives in Turkey. The objective of the experimental study is to ascertain whether the incorporation of waste from the marble and brick industries, in powder form, into cement manufacturing as a mineralogical additive or substitute is a viable option.

This study introduces a novel landfill cover material, employing lake sediment as a substrate, stabilised with fly ash, slag, desulfurisation gypsum and construction waste. The mechanical properties, including shear strength parameters, unconfined compressive strength, hydraulic conductivity, volumetric shrinkage, and water content, of the solidified sludge were evaluated. The microscopic mechanism of the solidified sludge were investigated through XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDS techniques.

The purpose of this study is to solve the problem of ammonia (NH) release when modified magnesium slag (MMS) is used as coal mine backfill cementitious material, and to explore its chemical mechanism and put forward effective solutions. Uniaxial compressive strengths (UCS) hydration kinetics, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis-derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and other testing methods were used to study the evolution of the properties of MMS-based backfill material, which provided a scientific basis for the safe utilization of MMS. First, the chemical mechanism underlying the release of NH from MMS was identified, and it was confirmed that MgN and LiN are the main nitrogen sources.

To realize the comprehensive utilization of large amounts of high-ash coal slime and comprehensively understand the excellent performance of nutrient release and lead and cadmium adsorption of high-ash coal slime silicon composite materials, green and safe mild hydrothermal conditions (200 °C) were used to prepare the rich-rich coal slime. Zeolite/tobermorite composites (Z-TOBs) were used in this study. Batch adsorption tests and repeated extraction tests were used to determine whether silicon, potassium, and calcium nutrients of Z-TOBs have sustained release properties and are affected by pH.

Ammonia (NH) is crucial in fine particulate matter (PM) formation, but past estimations on industrial NH emissions remain highly uncertain. In this study, the flow of NH within air pollution control devices (APCDs) were investigated basing on material flow analysis with in-situ measurements of NH concentrations at the inlets and outlets of each APCD. Then, by combing emission factors updated with recent in-situ measurements and provincial-level activity data from statistical yearbooks and associated reports, NH emissions from various industrial sources, as well as their spatial distribution across China in 2020, were evaluated.
