In this study, modified coal fly ash (NMFA) was prepared by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with low-temperature hydrothermal method. The differences of the ash to alkali mass ratio (5:3, 5:4, 5:5, 5:6), calcination temperature (100 ℃, 200 ℃, 300 ℃), and calcination time (1 h, 3 h, 5 h) were investigated. The adsorption experiments obtained the optimal result with the ash to base ratio of 5:5, calcination temperature of 200 ℃, and calcination time of 3 h, adsorbing 90.27 mg/g of Cd. The characterization results (SEM-EDS, FTIR, XRD, and XPS) also confirmed the effective adsorption of Cd by NMFA. The functional groups of Si-O, Al-O, and Fe-O played an important role in Cd removal. Meanwhile, the influences of dosage, different pH, and co-existing cations were also investigated. Quasi-secondary adsorption kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model were also referred to the Cd adsorption by NMFA. Therefore, the good adsorption of NMFA-3 on Cd provided new ideas for the safe utilization of fly ash and heavy metal purification in wastewater.

With the continuous clamor for a reduction in embodied carbon in cement, rapid solution to climate change, and reduction to resource depletion, studies into substitute binders become crucial. These cementitious binders can potentially lessen our reliance on cement as the only concrete binder while also improving concrete functional properties. Finer particles used in cement microstructure densify the pore structure of concrete and enhance its performance properties.

This study demonstrates the potential of secondary aluminum dross (SAD) to enhance the vitrifying hazardous waste incineration fly ash (FA) and bottom slag (BS). Based on the CaO-SiO-AlO ternary phase diagram, a liquid phase can be achieved at relatively low temperatures by carefully adjusting the AlO content, particularly when the CaO to SiO ratio is around 0.66.

The increasing incidence of structural failures, such as cracks and collapses, in rock masses within mines, tunnels, and other civil engineering environments has attracted considerable attention among scholars in recent years. Grouting serves as a principal solution to these issues. The Renlou Coal Mine in the Anhui Province is used as a case study to evaluate the effectiveness of nanosilica (NS) as an additive in ultrafine cement (UC), introducing a novel grouting material for practical applications.

The high chlorine content in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash is a key factor restricting its treatment and disposal. In this study, a new treatment method was proposed to enhance the deep dechlorination of fly ash by coupling supercritical CO (SC) treatment with water washing. Simultaneously the alkaline compounds in fly ash can fix CO and achieve CO credits.
