Fly ash was used as raw material to prepare zeolites through silicate gels, assisted by the hydrothermal method. The silicate gels could be effectively formed in a few minutes in a molten alkali environment. The zeolites could be prepared by using these silicate gels through the hydrothermal method, which realizes the transformation from useless materials to highly valuable materials. The obtained zeolites were applied to the removal of ammonium in water, achieving the highvalue utilization of fly ash. The synthesized zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), thermogravimetric (TG), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The study on the adsorption and removal of ammonium in water shows that the adsorption of ammonium is more in line with pseudo first-order kinetics, and the adsorption mainly occurs in the first 20 min. The adsorption can reach equilibrium in 30 min, and the maximum adsorption capacity can reach 49.1 mg/g. The adsorption capacity of ammonium has the best performance at pH = 5. Furthermore, within a certain range, an increase in temperature is beneficial for the removal of ammonium.

Bentonite clay nanoparticles assume a pivotal role in 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering by augmenting the mechanical rigidity and biological efficacy of hydrogels. In this investigation, Span80 was employed as a surfactant to facilitate the synthesis of uniformly sized bentonite nanoparticles measuring approximately 700 nm in diameter. The resultant hybrid hydrogel displaced a marked increase in compressive modulus, achieving a peak value of 17.

This work presents a novel hydrothermally aided sol-gel method for preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with a narrow particle size distribution and varied pore sizes. The method was carried out in alkaline media in presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) as dual templates and permitted the synthesis of spherical mesoporous silica with a high surface area (1011.42 m/g).

Cementitious material durability is affected by the transport and adsorption of water molecules and ions in the nanopore channels of cement hydration products. Hydrated calcium silicate (C-S-H) accounts for about 70% of the hydration product. It determines the mechanical properties of cementitious materials and their internal transport properties.

Severe skin damage resulting from acute trauma is often accompanied by uncontrolled bleeding, microbial infections, and delayed wound healing. Herein, multifunctional sprayable hydrogels (CT-CS-ZIF@CIP Gel) were developed for wound management by incorporating antibacterial nanoplatforms (CT-CS-ZIF@CIP) into photocurable gels consisting of chitosan methacrylate and gallic acid grafted gelatin. The nanoplatform was initially constructed by sequentially loading CuSe (CS) and ciprofloxacin-decorated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF@CIP) onto Cu-doped Ti MOF (CT), in which CS served as a photothermal agent, ZIF enabled pH-responsive release of CIP, and CT acted as carriers for CS and ZIF@CIP.
