This study investigated crystallization mechanisms for the formation of lead aluminosilicate by sintering lead stabilization with kaolin-based precursors. PbAlSiO was found to be the only stable lead aluminosilicate in low-PbO system and demonstrates its highly intrinsic resistance to acid attack in leaching test. A three-stage PbAlSiO formation mechanism was supported by the results of the changing temperature in the system. Amorphization of sintered products was observed in both PbO/kaolinite and PbO/mullite systems at 600-700°C. When the temperature was increased to 750-900°C, the crystallochemical formation of lead aluminosilicates (i.e., PbAlSiO, PbAlSiO, and PbAlSiO) was observed. PbAlSiO and PbAlSiO were found to be the intermediate phases at 700-900°C. Finally, PbAlSiO was found to be the only crystallite phase to host Pb at above 950°C. A maximum of 80% and 96.7% Pb can be incorporated into PbAlSiO in PbO/kaolinite and PbO/mullite systems, respectively, but the final products exhibited different microstructures. To reduce environmental hazard of lead, this strategy demonstrated a preferred mechanism of immobilizing lead into PbAlSiO structure via kaolin-based precursors.

With the rapid pace of socioeconomic progress, there has been a continuous rise in the generation of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash. Enhancing the efficiency of MSWI fly ash utilization, minimizing expenses, and developing more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable cementitious materials represent critical scientific challenges that warrant immediate attention. The research commenced with the preliminary treatment of MSWI fly ash using a blend of chemical activators and a water rinsing method.

Article Synopsis
  • The high computational cost of calculations limits the experimental characterization of Al siting and pairing in sodium-form aluminosilicate zeolites, leading to uncertainty in results from short simulations.
  • To address this, neural network potentials (NNPs) allow for extensive exploration of Al/Na arrangements and Si/Al ratios while maintaining accuracy, revealing significant insights about Na NMR spectra in dehydrated high-silica CHA zeolite.
  • A predictive model for the Na chemical shift was developed, which simplifies the simulation process, captures dynamic effects often missed in computational studies, and can be adapted to other zeolite frameworks.

Achieving timely and effective hemorrhage control is imperative for the survival of individuals with severe bleeding. Hemostatic materials, by enhancing the natural cell-based coagulation response, are essential tools in modern and military medical practice for controlling bleeding, especially in emergency and surgical settings. Here, we report a new type of composite hemostatic material with two different aluminosilicate-based components, kaolin and zeolite, which synergistically work together in different stages of the coagulation cascade reactions.

In this study, high-ash coal slime-based mineral soil amendment (MSA) was prepared via the hydrothermal method using high-ash coal slime as raw material, supplemented with activator calcium oxide and additive KOH solution. After hydrothermal treatment at 230 °C for 5 h, the original crystalline phase (quartz and kaolinite) of the high-ash slime was completely transformed into hydrotalcite zeolite, tobermorite, and silicate of potassium aluminosilicate, which has the largest specific surface area. The adsorption of Pb and Cd was adherent to the kinetic equation of secondary adsorption and Freundlich models, and the removal of Pb and Cd reached up to 362.
