Co-processing of radioactive effluents with coal fly ash-derived materials is recognized as a resource-saving approach for efficient stabilization/solidification of radioactive components of wastewater. In this context, the paper is focused on the hydrothermal synthesis of Sr-bearing aluminosilicate/silicate phases as analogs of a mineral-like Sr waste form using hollow glass-crystalline aluminosilicate microspheres from coal fly ash (cenospheres) as a glassy source of Si and Al (SiO-AlO)) and Sr(NO) solutions as Sr simulant wastewater. The direct conversion of cenosphere glass in the Sr(NO)-NaOH-HO-(SiO-AlO) system as well as Sr sorption on cenosphere-derived analcime (ANA) in the Sr(NO)-HO-ANA system were studied at 150-200 °C and autogenous pressure. The solid and liquid reaction products were characterized by SEM-EDS, PXRD, AAS and STA. In the Sr(NO)-NaOH-HO-(SiO-AlO) system, the hydrothermal processing at 150-200 °C removes 99.99% of the added Sr from the solution by forming Sr-tobermorite and Sr-plagioclase phases. In the Sr(NO)-HO-ANA system, Sr sorption on analcime results in the formation of solid solutions (NaSr)AlSiO·HO of the Na-analcime-Sr-wairakite series. The results can be considered as a basis for the development of environmentally sustainable technology for Sr removal from wastewater and immobilization in a mineral-like form by co-processing waste from coal-fired and nuclear power plants.

Construction materials are significantly exposed to ecological hazards due to the presence of hazardous chemical constituents found in industrial and agricultural solid wastes. This study aims to investigate the use of sawdust particles (SDPs) and sawdust wastewater (SDW) in alkali-activated composites (AACs) made from a mixture of different silicon-aluminum-based solid wastes (slag powder-SP, red mud-RM, fly ash-FA, and carbide slag-CS). The study examines the impact of SDP content, treated duration of SDPs, and SDW content on both fresh and hardened properties of the AACs, including electrical conductivity, fluidity, density, flexural and compressive strengths, and drying shrinkage.

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 retention and mobility of arsenic (As) in soil depend on various physical and chemical factors. The knowledge of the sorption-desorption chemistry of As in soil is necessary for predicting the fate and behavior of As in soil environments. Therefore, this study assessed different organic (sugarcane bagasse and vermicompost) and inorganic amendments (steel slag and fly ash) for their impact on sorption-desorption of As in texturally different contaminated soils (of sandy clay (SC) and sandy clay loam (SCL) texture) to understand the effect of amendments on As retention and mobility.
