Fly ash/magnetite material was used for the adsorption of copper ions from synthetic wastewater. The obtained material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Batch adsorption experiments were employed in order to investigate the effects of adsorbent dose, initial Cu (II) concentration and contact time over adsorption efficiency. The experimental isotherms were modeled using Langmuir (four types of its linearization), Freundlich, Temkin, and Harkins-Jura isotherm models. The fits of the results are estimated according to the Langmuir isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 17.39 mg/g. The pseudo-second-order model was able to describe kinetic results. The data obtained throughout the study prove that this novel material represents a potential low-cost adsorbent for copper adsorption with improved adsorption capacity and magnetic separation capability compared with raw fly ash.

Background: Rapid and accurate detection of the biomass potassium (K) content in biomass is crucial for mitigating ash deposition and fouling issues in biomass fuel combustion processes. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) offers a promising approach for rapid analysis of biomass elemental. However, the accuracy of LIBS detection is susceptible to chemical matrix effects.

The evaluation of the mechanical performance of fly ash-recycled mortar (FARM) is a necessary condition to ensure the efficient utilization of recycled fine aggregates. This article describes the design of nine mix proportions of FARMs with a low water/cement ratio and screens six mix proportions with reasonable flowability. The compressive strengths of FARMs were tested, and the influence of the water/cement ratio (/) and age on the compressive strength was analyzed.

The low hydration degree of fly ash in Fly Ash Unburned Lightweight Aggregate (FULA) is not conducive to the development of the mechanical properties of lightweight aggregates and their concrete. In this paper, FULA was immersed in an alkaline solution with the purpose of improving the mechanical properties of FULA and its concrete. Firstly, FULA was prepared using fly ash as the main raw material.

Gasification slag is the solid waste produced in the process of coal gasification. China produces approximately 30 million tons of gasification slag every year, which urgently needs to be recycled in an efficient and sustainable way. This paper discusses the feasibility of using gasification slag as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM).

Pre-mixed fluidized solidified soil (PFSS) has the advantages of pumpability, convenient construction, and a short setting time. This paper took the excavated loess in Fuzhou as the research object and used cement-fly-ash-ground granulated blast furnace slag-carbide slag as a composite geopolymer system (CFGC) to synthesize PFSS. This study investigated the fluidity and mechanical strength of PFSS under different water-solid ratios and curing agent dosages; finally, the microstructure of the composite geopolymer system-pre-mixed fluidized solidified soil (CFGC-PFSS) was characterized.
