Tunneling slurry waste causes multiple problems, including environmental pollution, and requires transportation and a large landfill space, and therefore, it is important to find a method that can quickly separate water from tunneling slurry waste for metro construction. This paper proposes a practical method to improve the effect of slurry waste separation by implementing five laboratory tests. The results of these tests reflect that vacuum combined electro-osmosis is a suitable and practical method for treating tunneling slurry waste. The water content after treatment by vacuum combined horizontal electric field electro-osmosis method is not only lower than that after other methods but also close to the liquid limit, which fully meets the requirements of engineering transportation. However, vacuum and filter press dewatering cannot give full play to the drainage effect when the slurry permeability coefficient is too low. This combined technique can improve water separation from the slurry and works well in engineering applications.

In order to study the durability of solidified waste mud, dry-wet cycle experiments were carried out under the erosion of sodium chloride solutions with different concentrations. The unconfined compressive strength and mass change rate of solidified mud were studied and analyzed. The results show that when the number of dry-wet cycles increases, the unconfined compressive strength and mass of the sample show a downward trend.

Diamond wire saw silicon slurry (DWSSS) is a waste resource produced during the process of solar-grade silicon wafer preparation with diamond wire sawing. The DWSSS contains 6N grade high-purity silicon and offers a promising resource for high-purity silicon recycling. The current process for silicon extraction recovery from DWSSS presents the disadvantages of lower recovery and secondary pollution.

Anaerobic digestion represents an opportunity for converting organic waste (OW) into valuable products: renewable energy (biogas) and a fertilizer (digestate). However, the long-term effects of digestates on soil biota, especially microorganisms, need to be better documented to understand the impact of digestate on soil ecosystem functioning and resilience. This study assessed the cumulative effect of repeated pig slurry digestate applications on soil microbial communities over a decade, using an in-situ approach to compare digested feedstock with undigested feedstock and other fertilization treatments.

Biochemical methane potential tests using water hyacinth (WH), pretreated water hyacinth (PWH), and Hydrilla verticillata (HV) as substrates using sewage media were explored. This study replaced the freshwater required to prepare the slurry for AD of organic solid waste with domestic sewage. Cow dung was used as the inoculum.

Fluidity influences the use of backfill materials in the mining industry. A new backfill material-modified magnesium slag-based backfill materials (MFPB)-is made from solid waste from coal and metallurgy. We focus on the compatibility of polycarboxylate water reducing agent (SP) with MFPB and its effect on MFPB performance.
