High-efficient and economic sorbents are highly desired for arsenic (As) emission control in flue gas from coal-fired power plant. A series of Fe-Mn binary oxides were prepared by a facile method, and their behaviors for gaseous arsenic removal in flue gas were investigated. The binary oxide exhibited a remarkable synergistic effect for arsenic removal compared with Mn or Fe monometallic oxide. The possible effects of CO, NO, SO, and O on the removal performance were also studied. The adsorption ability was excellent and stable in simulated flue gas conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-performance liquid chromatography atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (HPLC-AFS) coupling system were applied to analyze the species of surface-adsorbed arsenicals and soluble arsenicals. It was confirmed that the good sorption performance resulted from oxidation of AsO (As(III)) to AsO (As(V)) by Mn oxide and followed by efficient adsorption of As(V) on Fe oxide. Considering the toxicity of pentavalent arsenicals is lower than trivalent arsenicals, the oxidation of arsenic compounds can not only enhance its removal capacity but also decrease the toxicity of arsenicals after capture.

This study examines the flue gas emissions originated from various fuel types used in the textile industries of Faisalabad, Pakistan, and their compliance with the Punjab Environmental Quality Standards (PEQS), Pakistan. Data from 109 textile factories revealed significant emission variations based on fuel types. Natural gas was identified as an eco-friendly fuel, with emissions far below the PEQS limits (CO: 334.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a ubiquitous polymer with a lack of viable waste management solutions besides mechanical recycling, incineration, and landfilling. Herein, we demonstrate a chemical upcycling of PET waste into materials for CO capture via aminolysis. The aminolysis reaction products-a bis-aminoamide (BAETA) and oligomers-exhibit high CO capture capacity up to 3.

The development of porous materials for the selective capture of CO from flue gas and biogas is crucial for ecological conservation and clean energy advancement. Herein, a novel three-dimensional copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) was solvothermally synthesized by using a multifunctional ligand abundant in carboxyl and triazole groups. Inorganic secondary building units (SBUs) feature two types of square-planar mononuclear copper SBUs: a highly polar cis configuration and a symmetric trans configuration.

With the rapid development of industrialization in China, more and more industrial solid wastes (ISWs) are generated in industrial production processes. Under the pressure for safe disposals or utilization of ISWs as resources, and the demand for soil pollution remediation in China, there have been attempts to incorporate ISWs into agricultural land as soil amendments, while the environmental impacts of ISWs applied on agricultural land have aroused great concerns. This paper presents a comprehensive overview regarding the environmental risks from impacts of 7 types of ISWs (including blast furnace slag, steel slag, magnesium slag, coal-fired flue gas desulfurization gypsum, phosphogypsum, calcium carbide slag, and ammonia-soda residue) applied on agricultural land.

The coking industry is a major source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs). Although some OPAHs are considered to be more toxic than PAHs, limited information is available on the levels of PAH and OPAH emissions from the coking industry. Accordingly, we measured the emission factors (EF) for PAHs and OPAHs produced by the coking industry in China.
