Article Abstract
Acid gases generated during the thermal treatment of waste are neutralized using devices, such as bag filters coated with slaked lime. However, residual trace organic substances can react with the highly reactive slaked lime. This study investigates the dynamics of organic substances generated in the bag filter when slaked lime is used in the exhaust gas treatment process. The mechanism of aldehyde generation was clarified using head space gas chromatography mass spectrometer (HS-GC/MS). Results indicated that methanol was converted to formaldehyde at a conversion ratio of 0.097% and ethanol was converted to acetaldehyde at a conversion ratio of 0.260%. In addition, when amines used as emulsifiers during slaked lime production persisted in the matrix, acetaldehyde formed at a maximum concentration of 121 mg/m. The simulation method developed in this study can be used for the initial evaluation of aldehydes unexpectedly produced in an incineration treatment facility.

Betel quid contains two major ingredients; Areca catechu and Piper betel, often consumed with slaked lime, tobacco, certain flavouring agents, colouring agents, herbs, and spices according to personal preferences. The areca nut alkaloids (arecoline, arecaidine, guvacine, and guvacoline), and tobacco alkaloids (nicotine, nornicotine) undergo nitrosation during chewing in the oral cavity with the presence of nitrite and thiocyanate and endogenously. Among the nitrosation products generated areca nut-derived nitrosamine (ADNA): 3-(methylnitrosamino) Propionitrile (MNPN) and the two tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs); N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone) (NNK) are considered Group 1 human carcinogens.

The valorization of gastropod shell wastes in the production of lime is the topic of this study. First, shells from land snail and sea snail were characterized for their mineralogical, chemical, and thermal properties. Then, the shells were calcined at 1000 °C, and the obtained quicklimes were characterized for their specific surface area, pore diameter, and particle morphology, followed by evaluation of their reactivity in wet slaking tests.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores how varying the ratio of binder materials (lime, cement, and coal gangue powder) to hemp shives affects the physical and mechanical properties of lime-hemp concrete (LHC).
- Five different binder to hemp shives mass ratios (1.2 to 2.0) were tested, revealing that a higher binder content improved drying speed, strength, and thermal conductivity, while decreasing water absorption.
- Advanced microstructural analyses showed that increased binder led to more hydration products, enhancing the material’s density and strength by filling internal voids and bonding effectively with hemp fibers.
An Exploration of Alkaline Degumming in the Printing and Dyeing Process of Silk Georgette.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores two degumming methods in alkaline printing on silk georgette, comparing alkaline boiling and steaming based on ancient Tang Dynasty techniques.* -
- Alkaline boiling is quicker and more effective, achieving a 27% degumming rate at 80 °C in 30 minutes, while steaming is slower, reaching under 20% before boiling.* -
- The research highlights how both methods can influence dyeing effects and pattern clarity, with alkaline steaming offering better integration with modern printing techniques for enhanced artistic expression.*
