In order to realize pollution control and resource recovery, sediment from Beian River in Mudanjiang City China was used for ceramsite production. The maximum content of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and organic matter (OM) in sediments of Beian River were 2975 mg kg, 2947 mg kg and 29.6%, respectively. So, it should be treated properly for resource utilization. The orthogonal experiment of (4) was adopted to determine the best conditions for ceramsite production and the result demonstrated that the sewage sludge ratio of 15%, binder ratio of 5%, pre-heating temperature of 450°C, sintering temperature of 1150°C and firing time of 23 min were the optimum conditions. The corresponding product met with the standard of CJ/T 299-2008 and the heavy metal leaching experiment showed it was lower than the threshold of China's industrial standard. Thus, it demonstrated that ceramsite production was a feasible way for utilization of sediment.

Printed circuit board sludge (PCBS), rich in high-concentration heavy metals, poses an environmental threat but also represents a potential metal resource. To address the rising need for advanced coking wastewater treatment, this study innovatively used PCBS and coal gangue to synthesize a low-cost ceramsite catalyst (CSC) via high-temperature sintering, applying it in a heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system. By optimizing material ratios and process parameters, and using techniques such as CSC characterization and Density Functional Theory calculations, the catalytic performance and reaction mechanism of CSC were systematically investigated.

As a promising and sustainable construction material, alkali-activated slag lightweight high-strength concrete (AAS-LWHSC) may be influenced by lightweight aggregate (LWA) content. In this study, the effects of hollow glass microspheres (HGM) replacing granulated ground blast furnace slag (GGBFS) under varying LWA dosages on the workability, dry apparent density, mechanical properties, and microstructure of AAS-LWHSC were investigated. The results indicated that the dry density of concrete was significantly reduced by HGM, while the "ball-bearing" effect of HGM was observed to enhance workability at a dosage of 6%.

Solid waste derived ceramsites are a typical representative of the "treat waste by waste" concept, however, they have not been given enough attention due to high energy consumption, large carbon emissions and low efficiency. In this work, a hypoxic roasting method was used to prepare industrial solid derived ceramsite for the removal of heavy metal Cd(II) from aqueous solution. Compared with conventional ceramsite (CC), the novel hypoxic ceramsite (HC) exhibited higher specific surface area, more hydroxyl and aromatic functional groups, and more developed pore structure.

Sludge ceramisites are an important way for harmless treatment and resource utilization of sludge. How to reduce the production energy consumption of sludge ceramisites and minimize the release of HMs has become a key issue in current research. This study used municipal dewatered sludge as raw material, selected borax and wollastonite for co-sintering, and explored the physical and chemical properties, composition and microstructure, nitrogen and phosphorus adsorption characteristics and HMs release characteristics of sludge ceramisites at 900 °C.

This study presented an investigation into the role of ceramsite pore structures in optimizing DNBFs for nitrate-contaminated water treatment. Through systematic comparison of three ceramsite media (CE1, CE2, CE3) with distinct pore structures, we elucidated the microbial mechanisms underlying nitrate removal efficiency by analyzing denitrification performance, biomass accumulation, EPS, microbial community structure, and nitrogen metabolic function. Results demonstrated that the CE2 medium, characterized by an effective porosity (pore size > 0.
