This research aimed to develop a new method for clean utilization and treatment of landfill leachate and solid waste weathered coal. Landfill leachate and weathered coal were adopted for combined anaerobic fermentation for methane production. The characteristics of microbial community, mechanism of biological methane production, and utilization characteristics of fermentation broth and solid residue for co-fermentation were analyzed through metagenomics, soluble organic matter detection and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The obtained results revealed that combined anaerobic fermentation increased methane production by 80.1%. Syntrophomonas, Salipiger, Methanosaeta and Methanothrix were highly correlated. Gene abundances of 2-oxoacid ferredoxin oxidoreductase and enolase were increased in methane conversion pathway mainly by acetic acid. Pyruvate-ferroredoxin oxidoreductase, 2-oxoglutarate synthase and succinate dehydrogenase acetate synthase intensified electron transfer pathways among microorganisms. Fulvic acid, tyrosine and tryptophan contents were high in fermentation broth. Volatile decomposition temperature, ignition point and residual char combustion temperature of residual coal were decreased and combustion was more stable. The obtained results showed that the co-fermentation of landfill leachate and weathered coal improved biological methane gas production, degraded weathered coal and improved combustion performance, which provided a new idea for weathered coal clean utilization.

To investigate the impact of the oxidation temperature and variations in airflow conditions on coal spontaneous combustion characteristics, pre-oxidized coal samples were prepared using a programmed temperature rise method. Synchronous thermal analysis experiments and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were conducted to explore changes in the thermal effects and functional group content of the coal samples, respectively. The results indicate that variations in pre-oxidation conditions primarily in fluence the activation temperature and maximum weight loss temperature of the coal samples, while exerting a lesser impact on the critical temperature and ignition point.

Coal-burning fluorosis prevails in southwest China and other provinces. Although clay used as binder of briquettes was proven to cause coal-burning fluorosis, its enrichment processes remain unknown. The soils and rocks on typical geological units were sampled and simulation experiments were performed to detect the forming process of high-fluoride clay.

To tackle the formidable challenges posed by extreme cold weather events, significant advancements have been made in developing functional surfaces capable of efficiently removing accreted ice. Nevertheless, many of these surfaces still require external energy input, such as electrical power, which raises concerns regarding their alignment with global sustainability goals. Over the past decade, increasing attention has been directed toward photothermal surface designs that harness solar energy-a resource available on Earth in quantities exceeding the total reserves of coal and oil combined.

Article Synopsis
- * A 3D finite element model was created using ABAQUS software to simulate and compare the effectiveness of traditional rock breaking versus ultrasonic vibratory rock breaking.
- * Findings reveal that ultrasonic vibration, especially at 40 kHz, can enhance rock damage and efficiency, with mechanical specific energy showing a significant minimum at frequencies between 20-25 kHz, ultimately reducing drilling costs.

The development of widely sourced and efficient adsorbents is crucial for the adsorption of lead from wastewater. A novel adsorbent, N-doped weathered coal (NWC), was prepared in this study using weathered coal as the precursor and triethylenetetramine (TETA) as the N-source. The adsorption performance and behavior of Pb(II) on NWC were investigated using batch adsorption experiments.
