Article Abstract

A novel resource utilization of the calcium-based semi-dry flue gas desulfurization ash is investigated. In the present study, the semi-dry desulfurization ash is used as a reductant for chromium and vanadium removal by chemical reduction precipitation, the byproduct gypsum and chromium-contained sludge are obtained. Besides, the effects of main operational parameters (reaction pH, desulfurization ash dosage and reaction time) on the heavy metal removal are investigated, and the main reaction mechanism for this treatment technology is also proposed. Under the optimal conditions, the residual concentrations of Cr(VI), total Cr and V are 0.163mg/L, 0.395mg/L and 0.155mg/L, respectively. Additionally, byproduct gypsum and chromium-contained sludge are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and thermogravimetry differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), respectively. Finally, the resource utilization methods of the byproduct gypsum and chromium-contained sludge from this technology are also submitted. The byproduct gypsum can be utilized to produce hemihydrate calcium sulfate whisker, and the roasted heavy metal precipitation can be used as a primary chromium raw material (CrO content is about 83%).

The swift expansion of the worldwide magnesium industry has resulted in substantial accumulation of magnesium slag (MS) as a byproduct of the magnesium metal smelting process, presenting a growing environmental hazard. To effectively address the issue of MS resource usage, the synergistic activation impact among MS, fly ash (FA), and desulfurized gypsum (DG) was examined utilizing response surface methodology (RSM). This study calculated the appropriate ratio of cementitious materials and investigated the hydration characteristics of magnesium-slag-based low-carbon cementitious materials (MSLCM).

To address the dual challenges of improving strength and reducing permeability in solidified soils produced from excavated waste mud, this study develops a sustainable stabilization method using industrial by-products. A ternary solid waste-based cementitious material (SWC), consisting of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), steel slag (SS), and desulfurization gypsum (DG), was optimized through an extreme vertex mixture design. The results demonstrate that, under appropriate mix proportions, the solidified soil using SWC can achieve comparable unconfined compressive strength (UCS) at 7 d and superior strength at 28 d compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC).

To reduce the cost of coal mine filling materials, a novel composite cementitious material was developed by utilizing coal-based solid waste materials, including fly ash, desulfurized gypsum, and carbide slag, along with cement and water as raw materials. Initially, a comprehensive analysis of the physical and chemical properties of each raw material was conducted. Subsequently, proportioning tests were systematically carried out using the single-variable method.

Rapid industrialization of China generated a massive quantity of waste, among them industrial solid waste contributed the biggest flow to some 60 gigatonnes (Gt) in the past two decades. A complete tempo-spatial dataset of industrial waste, however, is absent in many areas in China, due to numerous waste producers and insufficient statistical coverage. To fill up the gap, we collected current available data from thousands of sources.
