Waste calcium carbide slags (CS), which are widely applied to desulfurisation, are not typically used in denitration. Herein, to well achieve waste control by waste, a facile and high-efficiency denitration strategy is developed using KOH to modify the calcium carbide slags (KCS). Various KCS samples were investigated using a series of physical and chemical characterisations. The performance test results showed that the KOH concentration and reaction temperature are the main factors affecting the denitration efficiency of KCS, and CS modified with 1.5 mol/L KOH (KCS-1.5) can achieve 100% denitration efficiency at 300°C. Such excellent removal efficiency is due to the catalytic oxidation of the oxygen-containing functional groups derived from the KCS. Further studies showed that KOH treatment significantly increased the concentration of oxygen vacancies, nitro compounds, and basic sites of CS. This study provides a novel strategy for the resource utilisation of waste CS in the future.

Civil briquette furnace slag (FS), as a type of industrial solid waste, is not currently being recycled as a resource by the building materials industry. This study focuses on the potential of FS in the formulation of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) compared with calcium carbide slag (CS). This study encompasses three distinct AAM systems: alkali-activated fly ash alone (AAFA), fly ash-slag powder blends (AAFB), and slag powder alone (AABS).

One-Step Construction of 2-Methylquinazolin-4(3)-ones Using Solid Calcium Carbide as an Alternative to Gaseous Acetylene.

J Org Chem

December 2024

College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, State Key Laboratory of High-efficiency Utilization of Coal and Green Chemical Engineering, Ningxia University, Yinchuan, Ningxia 750021, P. R. China.

2-Methylquinazolin-4(3)-ones were efficiently constructed using solid calcium carbide as an alkyne source, 2-aminobenzamides or 2-aminobenzohydrazides as substrates, and -tolylsulfonyl azide as a mediator through simultaneous formation of two C-N bonds in one step. The salient features of this protocol are the use of an inexpensive, abundant and easy-to-use alkyne source as a substitute for flammable and explosive gaseous acetylene, low-cost catalyst, wide substrate scope, satisfactory yield, and simple manipulation. This method can also be extended to gram scale.

This study investigates the use of various industrial waste materials-silica fume (SF), cement kiln dust (CKD), calcium carbide residue (CCR), rice husk ash (RHA), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS)-as eco-friendly stabilizers for expansive clay soil (ECS). Laboratory tests were conducted to assess the impact of different proportions (3 %, 6 %, and 9 %) of these additives on the soil's physical, mechanical, and microstructural properties. Results indicated that the inclusion of industrial waste significantly improved the soil's behavior, with notable reductions in liquid limit (up to 37.

To utilize discarded shield residue and alleviate the shortage of subgrade filling, industrial wastes such as calcium carbide slag (CCS) and fly ash (FA) were considered to enhance the mechanical properties of the shield residue. A series of laboratory tests, including California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests, moisture content tests, pH tests, water stability tests, and dry-wet cycles tests were performed on discarded shield residue with additive contents. The results show that the UCS and CBR values enhanced significantly with the increase in curing time.

Calcium carbide is prohibited as a fruit ripening agent in many countries due to its harmful effects. Current methods for detecting calcium carbide in fruit involve time-consuming and destructive chemical analysis techniques, necessitating the need for non-destructive and rapid detection techniques. This study combined near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with chemometrics to detect two banana varieties ripened with calcium carbide in different forms when they are peeled or unpeeled.
