Arsenic-alkali residue (AAR) and MSWI fly ash (MFA) are hazardous wastes, which still lack effective treatment methods. In this study, a novel solidification/stabilization (S/S) method for AAR with MFA-based cementitious material (MFA-CM) containing Friedel's salt was proposed. The efficiency and mechanism of S/S was mainly focused. Abundant Friedel's salt as well as a few C-S-H gel and ettringite (AFt) were found as hydration products of MFA-CM. 12% of AAR was well solidified/stabilized by MFA-CM, accompanied by As leaching concentration reducing from 10,687 mg/L to less than 5 mg/L. In order to investigate S/S mechanism of As, removal mechanism of As during co-precipitation synthesis of Friedel's salt was studied. During co-precipitation process, As was successively removed by formation of calcium arsenate precipitates, formation of As-Friedel's salt (replacement of Cl by AsO), and adsorption of Friedel's salt. The S/S mechanism of As by MFA-CM was found to be similar to the removal mechanism of As during co-precipitation. With the prolonging of curing time, As was mainly solidified/stabilized by formation of calcium arsenate precipitates and As-Friedel's salt, and adsorption of Friedel's salt. Thus, this study provides a novel harmless treatment method for highly toxic arsenic-containing wastes by "treating the wastes with wastes".

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.

This study aims to develop the marine geo-polymer cement that was produced with seawater, recycled particles from paste, recycled particles from glass, and alkaline activators, including NaOH or NaO·3.3SiO. The physicochemical properties and strength of MGPC were investigated with a Uniaxial Compression Test, Particle Size Analysis, Energy Dispersive Spectrometer, X-ray Diffraction, and Thermal-field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy.

High-strength wastewater containing elevated levels of chloride salt and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent was collected from manufacturing of sunscreen cream (for UVA/UVB protection) at a cosmetic factory. In evaporation process, precipitates, formed due to the high chloride content (around 160 g/L), clog the pipeline, seriously reducing the treatment efficiency. This study aimed to develop a two-stage process integrating chemical precipitation and electrochemical oxidation to specifically remove the concentrated chloride salt and organic compounds (COD >100 g/L).

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) allows for the use of non-desalted sea sand as a fine aggregate, but the durability of triple mix SCC with partial sea sand replacement remains unclear. To optimize binder and fine aggregate replacements, tests for consistency, setting times, soundness, compressive strength, and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity were performed. Six SCC variations, incorporating 30 Class F Fly Ash (FA), 5 Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), and various fine aggregate combinations, were evaluated for their fresh, mechanical, microstructural, and durability properties.

In response to rising CO emissions in the cement industry and the growing demand for durable offshore engineering materials, calcium sulphoaluminate (CSA) cement concrete, known for its lower carbon footprint and enhanced corrosion resistance compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), is increasingly important. However, the chloride transport behavior of CSA concrete in both laboratory and marine environments remains underexplored and controversial. Accordingly, the chloride ion transport behaviors and mechanisms of CSA concrete in laboratory-accelerated drying-wetting cyclic environments using NaCl solution and seawater, as well as in marine tidal environments, were characterized using the rapid chloride test (RCT), X-ray diffraction (XRD), mercury infiltration porosimetry (MIP), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
