AI Article Synopsis
- * Results indicated that smaller particle sizes (< 1 μm) have higher concentrations of leached heavy metals, particularly Zn and Cu, compared to larger sizes.
- * The research concluded that fly ash particles less than 10 μm are more toxic, and the leaching methods using TCLP and sulfuric/nitric acid were found to be more effective than European standards for assessing leaching.
Article Abstract
Fly ash from sludge incineration was separated into five different sizes (<1 μm, 1-2.5 μm, 2.5-10 μm, 10-50 μm, and > 50 μm) by high-precision air classification equipment. The leaching of heavy metals was contrastively studied using the HJT 299-2007-sulfuric acid/nitric acid method, HJ 557-2009-Horizontal Oscillation Method, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), and European standard protocol (EN 12457-3) for the different size fractions of the fly ash. Based on the leaching results, an evaluation method for the comprehensive toxicity of heavy metal leaching was established. The results show that the content of heavy metals and the amount of leaching from the fly ash decrease with the increase in fly ash particle size. The leaching of the heavy metals Zn and Cu in the < 1 μm particle size range of TCLP leaching method was the highest, at 107.34 mg·kg and 318 mg·kg, respectively. The TCLP and sulfuric acid/nitric acid methods of heavy metal leaching were more effective than the EU (EN 12457-3) and horizontal oscillation methods. According to the value of OPTI, the OPTI value of < 10 μm fly ash was much larger than that of fly ash that was > 10 μm. This indicated that the fly ash of particle size < 10 μm was more toxic and more harmful.

Industrial solid wastes like coal fly ash (CFA) and steel slag pose environmental challenges, while the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated water remains a global priority. This study investigates the impact of incorporating steel slag during the synthesis of CFA-based geopolymers (CFAG) on the leaching characteristics of inherent heavy metals in CFA and the Zn adsorption performance of CFAG. Leaching experiments show geopolymerization effectively immobilizes heavy metals including Fe, Cr, As, Cd, and Ti in CFA while having little effect on Mn, V, and Ni.

The present study investigated the genomic and functional potential of Burkholderia contaminans PB_AQ24, a bacterial strain isolated from the municipal solid waste dumpsite, for boosting the growth of Dendrocalamus strictus (Male bamboo) seedlings. The isolated strain exhibited high potency for metal solubilization and ACC (1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate) deaminase activity. Its genome harbored diverse genes responsible for nitrogen and phosphorus utilization (trpABCDES, iaaH, acdS, pstABCS, phoAUD, pqqABCDE, kdpABC, gln, and nirBD) and also an abundance of heavy metal tolerant genes (ftsH, hptX, iscX-fdx-hscAB-iscAUR, mgtA, corA, and copC).

Construction materials are significantly exposed to ecological hazards due to the presence of hazardous chemical constituents found in industrial and agricultural solid wastes. This study aims to investigate the use of sawdust particles (SDPs) and sawdust wastewater (SDW) in alkali-activated composites (AACs) made from a mixture of different silicon-aluminum-based solid wastes (slag powder-SP, red mud-RM, fly ash-FA, and carbide slag-CS). The study examines the impact of SDP content, treated duration of SDPs, and SDW content on both fresh and hardened properties of the AACs, including electrical conductivity, fluidity, density, flexural and compressive strengths, and drying shrinkage.
